20 Thoughts I Have While Moving
Film4 Productions

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.”

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.
