15 Thoughts Had While Trying To Pack For A Trip
Nicole Marie Richardson

I know for me a lot of things run through my mind when I am packing for vacation or a weekend trip, often times these things are very funny after sitting down and thinking about them later. I go from thinking about what to pack to how much to pack and so much more. I am hoping that many other people will have some of the same things that I do.

1. Am I packing enough?

2. How many outfits do I need if I am only staying 3 nights?

3. Should I pack two outfits for everyday to have one to wear and a backup or just one?

4. Did I get my makeup bag?

5. Did I make sure everything was in there?

6. Do I really need that many shoes?

7. How many bags am I allowed again?

8. Oh, wait if I am packing that shirt then I will need that other pair of boot.

9. Mom may have said to only bring two bags, but what that really means how many bags can I fit into that one bag.

10. Do I really need a nice outfit I can wear out for every night?

11. How many phone chargers should I bring? I need one for the car, one for the condo bedroom, one for the living room oh and one in case I loose one.

12. It's almost fall so do I need to bring jeans, shorts, capri's, or all three?

13. Oh crap, I forgot about having to bring my own toiletry bag and I already loaded everything into the car.

14. Should I bring allergy and headache medicine?

15. Man, I forgot about how long it takes to pack and why I should always start a day or two earlier than I do.

These are just a few of the thoughts I have when I am trying to pack for any sort of trip. I hope you all find most these funny and relatable.

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.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
