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

41 Thoughts When Packing For The Summer
Juli Shulem

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.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
