So much to pack with so little time to do it.

The end of the school year: a time of stress, excitement and anticipation for the upcoming months off. On top of a never-ending list of final exams and projects that need completed, you have to pack up your room so that you can venture home for the summer. This is easier said than done, though. Here are thoughts that go through many people's minds as they pack up the place that has been their home for the past year:

1. OK, I’m going to get a head start on this.

2. Crap I didn’t mean to sleep for four hours.

3. I guess I’ll have to start tomorrow.

4. Or maybe the next day.

5. Shoot I’m going home in 12 hours and nothing is packed.

6. Why do I procrastinate everything?

7. If I was pursuing a Bachelor’s of Procrastination, I would have a 4.0.

8. My room is only 10 x 14. This will take an hour at most.

9. Time to get down to business.

10. Wow, how did I accumulate so much stuff?

11. This room is like a clown car.

12. Seriously, how does this all fit in here?

13. There is no way this is all going to fit into my car.

14. This is really hard work.

15. Maybe I should take a break to eat.

16. Oh look! I found some cookies I didn’t know I had. Score.

17. It’s a shame I have to take down all my decorating.

18. Oh boy that hole in the wall was not there when I moved in.

19. Really hoping that I don’t get charged for this.

20. I should really do my laundry before leaving.

21. Or I can save it as a present for my mom? Let’s do that.

22. How have I only packed up two boxes?

23. I would pay big money for someone to this for me.

24. I wish I had money.

25. Maybe the $2 I found under my bed can buy me some dinner.

26. There is still SO MUCH to pack.

27. This is more overwhelming than my entire finals week.

28. I have to unpack this all again when I get home.

29. I’m already dreading it.

30. Maybe then I won’t procrastinate.

31. LOL, who am I trying to kid?

32. Why unpack when I have to do this all again in three months?

33. Oh my gosh I have to do this again in three months.

34. Hopefully I get better at packing and planning.

35. I probably won’t. Old habits die hard.

36. FINALLY FINISHED!

37. It’s going to take an engineering degree to fit this all into my trunk.

38. I can’t believe how fast this year went.

39. Didn’t I just move in last night?

40. I can’t wait to hibernate for a week when I get home.

41. That way I can avoid unpacking for as long as possible.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.
