Whether you're moving to college for the first time, moving after your last semester, or changing apartments as a seasoned "adult," moving is always at least 10 times worse than you think it's going to be. Dreams of Pinterest-worthy walls are quickly soured by the sheer amount of boxes, which seem to multiply when you're not looking. You're sure what's going to happen now: death by boxes and desperation.
Despite all odds, you make it out alive. However, you likely won't steer clear of some of these 20 thoughts during your moving process:
1. “Oh my gosh, I am so excited to get in this new place!”
2. “Everything on my ‘dream apartment’ Pinterest board is going to go perfectly. I must have it all.”
3. “Wait. Why is my pocket wet? Oh, my wallet’s just crying.”
4. “How many boxes do I need? I probably only need four.”
5. [Neatly packs away knick-knacks] “Man, I am a pro at this.”
6. [Runs out of boxes] “Why do I have so much stuff?”
7. “I swear I didn’t have this much stuff before.”
8. “My stuff must multiply when I’m not looking, which is funny because I don’t own any gerbils.”
9. “Okay, I’m going to be organized. Kitchen items will go in this box. This box is for toiletries.”
10. [One hour later] “Yes, obviously, this box of cereal goes with my sweaters because…reasons.”
11. “Oh my god. Now, I have to carry it all out.”
12. [Carries one box to the car] “Just call me superwoman. My super strength is astounding."
13. [Carries three more boxes] “I…hate…everything.”
14. “How did all of this fit in the car before?”
15. “Whatever, we’ve got three feet of space for exactly a billion boxes. Let’s go.”
16. “Operation Load Car: Completed. I am the queen of moving. Fight me.”
17. “Oh, no, I have to carry it all in again.”
18. “Did I mention that I hate everything?”
19. “Okay, time to unpack.”
20. [Looks at Pinterest board] “You know I think ‘cardboard-box-chic’ is a good look. Let’s go with it.”
