40 Thoughts Everyone Has During Move Out

It's move out time and we're all dying to get the hell out of here. There is nothing more I want than to simply be off campus for weeks at a time. I may love Yale, but I'm ready to be far away for an extended period of time. The only thing keeping me from my freedom, besides two finals, is the enormous amount of stuff I either need to pack up, throw away or sell. In the course of studying for my finals, I decided to pre-crastinate by packing, and I had a lot of thoughts, to say the least.

1. What if I just...threw my refrigerator away and got a new one next year?

2. Do you think this box will fit out the window?

3. Does Jesus hate me? Is that why I live on the fifth floor?

4. Where did all this stuff come from?

5. Is that a colony of aliens living under my bed?

6. When was the last time I swept under here? Have I ever swept under here?

7. Why do I have so many clothes? Why?

8. No, of course I'm not getting rid of any of my clothes. Let's not be ridiculous.

9. How many formal gowns does one college student need? Is three enough or too few?

10. How am I going to sleep tonight with all of this crap on my bed?

11. Where did my phone go? Did I tape it into a box?

12. Speaking of boxes, why are we only allowed to store three boxes in our college?

13. Can I fit everything I own into three boxes?

14. Crap, I have a whole box full of just my scarves.

15. When did I think I was going to have time to use these 12 skeins of yarn?

16. Do I even have crochet hooks in the state of Connecticut?

17. LOL at how I bought school supplies thinking I would use binders and notebooks in college

18. How do I hide these books so my grandparents don't know I've been excessively book shopping?

19. What is this stain in my microwave even from?

20. How long has this been in the fridge? Do I eat it or throw it away?

21. When was the last time I bought yogurt?

22. Is that duct tape stuck in my hair?

23. Seriously, three boxes are not enough.

24. I hope all this crap fits in the car...

25. When did I think I was going to have time to paint these canvases?

26. Have I ever even used this lap desk?

27. How many old checks are in this drawer, for crying out loud?

28. Is it possible to overheat while packing?

29. Oh crap, I'm going to have to carry all of this down five flights of stairs.

30. I just want to leave. Why can't I leave already?

31. Why do I have 459 t-shirts?

32. Where did these pants come from? They aren't even my size?

33. I don't wear boxers! Who do these belong to?

34. I'm sure there is a broom around here...somewhere...

35. I really wish I hadn't already emptied the fridge.

36. I would kill a man for some yogurt right now.

37. The car is here! Finally. Finally!

38. Goodbye room, goodbye forever.

39. Crap. This doesn't all fit in the car. What has to be sacrificed?

40. Next year, I'm going to pack less. I swear.

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.
