18 Things That Happen When Moving Out Of A Dorm

Every year, moving in and out of a dorm is the cherry on top of a perfect day! The heavy boxes, the family drama, and most importantly, the lack of space because the rooms are impossibly small. Not only is it horrible to move in, but moving out at the end of the year when finals are going on is also super duper! Lack of sleep, lack of space, and lack of help to move items. Isn't this what college is all about?

1. Realizing you have way too many things in your dorm room.

When did I even get that? What's that from? This isn't even my size!

2. Someone always asks you to help them move out.

"I got my own stuff to do, OK?"

3. Having to loft your bed or reconfigure your room.

Recruiting people that you said no to the first time.

4. It's most likely 90 degrees in your room.

Becoming a sweaty mess all the time—yay!

5. Trying to lug everything to your car is a struggle in itself.

"Don't drop it...Don't drop it..."

6. Realizing you don't have enough room in your car for all your stuff.

7. Calling your parents to help you.

"Wait, no. I really need help this time. No, this isn't about FAFSA or money."

8. Getting mad when your parents come because you don't quite have everything worked out yet.

"Dad, no! I might need the microwave!"

9. Not to mention, finals are happening.

10. Trying to be quiet so people can study.

But you're dying because you're trying to get a ton of stuff out so you can study for your own finals.

11. Wanting to go outside really bad.

But knowing you won't get any work done.

12. Friends asking you to hang out.

I don't have time for that! God Karen, you're so stupid!

13. When some of your finals literally almost overlap.

You're telling me I need to be here from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and there p.m. to 9 p.m.?

14. But the best is when your finals are after you need to be moved out of the dorms.

Final at 7 p.m., need to be out by 6 p.m.

15. Forgetting to take your sheets off your bed until the very last day of move out.

Wait, where do I even put these in my car?

16. Finding things on the floor that you didn't even know were there.

"Where did that M&M come from?"

17. Taking out your extension cords and realizing you only have like two outlets left.

I have a phone, a computer, and a fan—which isn't getting plugged in?

18. Packing something then needing it.

Guess I don't need to shave my legs today.

Overall college is just a super duper experience!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
