The fall 2016 semester is literally less than two weeks away for many college students everywhere. For me, my first day is August 15. That means move-in day is sometime in the very near future. Am I prepared? Have I packed anything? Absolutely, I have not. Maybe this is because the novelty of going off to college wore off a couple of semesters ago, so I just don't feel like it. Or it could be the fact that I live my life through intense procrastination. Who knows why I've put this off until the last minute. No, seriously. Who knows? I had all summer. While I will begin packing my life away to move into my apartment very soon, here are 100 things I did instead of packing for college.
1. I re-watched "The Office" in its entirety for the sixth time.
2. I woke up with the intention of cleaning and packing but then looked at the vast amount of crap I had to sift through and promptly went back to bed.
3. I started several shows I had never seen before: "Preacher," "Dark Matter," "Greenleaf," "Outlander" and "Power."
4. I bought way too many things off of Amazon that I did not need because my free trial of Amazon Prime Student was ending.
5. I went to TWO Urban Licks, and I ate and ate and ate.
6. I accidentally let a grasshopper into my house and soon found a family of grasshoppers living in my bedroom.
7. I started doing Aztec Indian Healing Clay Masks.
8. I synchronized my fall 2016 course schedule to my Google Calendars.
9. I stopped using Shea Moisture hair products in favor of Taliah Waajid's product line.
10. I played hours and hours of Super Smash Bros. 4.
11. I grew out my fingernails.
12. I ate a Zaxby's Wings and Things Meal with Insane sauce.
13. I stopped using Apple TV and started using Google Chromecast.
14. I switched ramen noodle brands. Goodbye, Maruchan. Hello, Mama.
15. I saw "The Conjuring 2," "Central Intelligence," "The Purge: Election Year" and a ton of other movies.
16. I went to the Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse.
17. I got renter's insurance.
18. I drove over 5,000 miles doing inventories for my summer job.
19. I contemplated dyeing my afro puffs.
20. I bought some new running shoes.
21. I discovered that my car's USB outlet is only compatible with the iPhone and iPod. My Android works just fine with my trusty AUX cord, so I don't care.
22. I watched way too many family-pet-meets-newborn-baby-videos on YouTube.
23. I spent hours on Pinterest trying to find easy recipes to make for this semester.
24. I took advantage of Macy's Black Friday in July Sale and bought some much needed kitchen appliances. Saved more than I spent.
25. I decided to drop my plans to go to law school.
26. I ate a DiGiorno pizza.
27. I almost sobbed over the amount of money I will be forced to spend on my textbooks this semester.
28. I bought an area rug.
29. I unintentionally finished an entire bottle of Sriracha.
30. I watched "The Wedding Planner," "Leap Year," "The Switch" and "Rumor Has It" on Netflix back to back to back to back.
31. I figured out how to keep the Wi-Fi from cutting out in my room.
32. I binged all of Shonda's shows on Netflix: "Grey's Anatomy," "How To Get Away With Murder," "Scandal."
33. I attempted to get in shape for a hot minute. There was a disastrous run with those running shoes.
34. I created this ridiculous list for Odyssey.
35. I met a guy and it basically amounted to nothing at all.
