As school begins, many students will be moving into their freshman dorms and upperclassmen will be moving into their apartments. It is exciting to be away from home and have freedom. Although the idea of moving sounds so exciting and you can't wait to live in your new home, moving is exhausting. Moving is stressful, making sure everything has a place in a specific box and trying not to overpack. Overpacking, however, is inevitable. It is hard to throw away your favorite T-shirt, even though it is two sizes too small or get rid of a pair of shoes, even though they are so worn out, you barely wear them. A lot of things get said when you are moving, whether you are moving into a dorm, apartment or even your first house! Moving is usually an experience everyone wishes to avoid like the plague. I have moved a lot in the last few years, so these are just a few quotes I feel like everyone can relate to.
1. "Why do I have so much stuff?"
2. "Where should I put this?"
3. "I have no room for this."
4. "Why is my room the size of a closet?"
5. "Why did I pack this?"
6. "Where is that one box of shoes?"
7. "Frick, I left that at home."
8. "How do I put this together?"
9. "I need to go to Target."
10. "Where is my roommate going to put her stuff?"
11. "Oh, I forgot I had this shirt."
12. "Where should I hang this?"
13. "Is this crooked?"
14. "I need more Command strips."
15. "I don't know how to put my desk together."
16. "I lost a screw."
17. "I need to call my mom."
18. "I need to call my dad."
19. "I need to recycle all these boxes."
20. "When is trash day?"
21. "I need more hangers"
22. "Why do I have 100 T-shirts?"
23. "No, I am not going to get rid of any of my clothes!"
24. "OK, maybe I don't need 20 pairs of black leggings."
25. "Crap, I didn't even unload my winter clothes yet."
26. "Where are all my shoes going to go?"
27. "I need more space."
28. "I hope my neighbors are nice."
29. "I don't want a noise complaint."
31. "Finally, the last box."
32. "Wait, there is another."
33. "I do not want to hang up all my clothes."
34. "I am almost done, and it is starting to come together."
35. "Aw, my room turned out so cute!"
I feel like everyone thinks the same about moving, some has worse experiences than others. Nobody likes to unpack for hours, but it is so fun living in a new place! I love to decorate, so it helps me get through all the hours of packing. I get excited to get on with my life one box at a time! I hope this article makes you smile when you are unpacking or dreading the move to your home!
