14 Thoughts During Move-In Day: Corinne Edition
Business Insider

Move-in day is upon us. It's time to say goodbye to your family and friends at home, pack your prized possessions, and return to the magical land of COLLEGE. The following thoughts always seem to cross my mind when moving into a new apartment - expressed through the (slightly) annoying, yet relatable, Corinne from "The Bachelor!"

1. I desperately hope my apartment is ready and there is not a problem with my keys.

Walking into the office for move-in is always nerve-wracking. A good first impression will go a long way, and student workers usually crumble under the pressure of a busy move-in day.

2. Oh yes management was great. And they had free candy!

Friendly and smiling faces welcoming you into a building is exciting, but there's nothing better than seeing free candy or welcome bags waiting for you.

3. I'm too excited to see the room, so I'm going to look at it before bringing all of my stuff.

Also if there's a problem with your keys, it's much better to find out now, rather than when the weight of moving boxes is causing the feeling to disappear from your arms.

4. WOW THIS KITCHEN.

Enough said. Beautiful countertops, lighting, and plenty of storage space in the kitchen makes for a happy college girl.

5. Hmm I'm not sure if four people can comfortably live in this space.

College-aged girls have a lot of stuff. A LOT. I will never believe a move-in between four girls in one small apartment will go smoothly, but it (usually) always does.

6. I pay parking by the hour, so I should probably actually start moving my stuff from the car instead of just standing here and admiring the apartment.

It's always fun to imagine how you will transform the empty room into your own personal space, but daydream as your carrying boxes, and don't waste time.

7. Wow, I brought up much more than I thought, I wonder if I need all of this.

I haven't worn this shirt in the past three years, but who knows, I might wear it once or twice. And ten pairs of shoes was probably unnecessary.

8. I am definitely getting my workout in for the day.

A flight of stairs to the second floor isn't that bad until my arms are numb, my quads are sore from climbing, and the only thing in the world I want to do is nap.

9. Or maybe the week.

Literally just leave me on this stairwell. I'll live here. I can't keep moving anymore.

10. I should go on Pinterest when I'm done unpacking and learn how to make the apartment aesthetically appealing.

I began preparing my Pinterest board for my apartment/house in middle school. I've been planning for years.

11. HOW DO I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF?

Yes, I do ask myself this at least twice during every move. And do I ever use all of it? NOPE.

12. I'm packing light next time.

I always say this, and then I always end up packing the same amount of items each time. I'm losing.

13. Debating between unpacking and napping.

There's a constant struggle of desperately wanting to be done packing, but also seriously needing a nap.

14. Falling in love with your new apartment.

You can finally sit back and enjoy your new place to call "home."

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
