51 Thoughts You Have While Packing Your College Dorm Room

For many students move out day is one of the best and worst days of the year. The best because, um hey, IT'S SUMMER. The worst because it's time to leave all the wonderful, or not so wonderful, people you have been living with. People you now consider your closest friends and family. One by one you pack your belongings into bags and boxes, say your goodbyes and go your separate ways. And packing is one of the most satisfying feelings....when you finish. Below are some of the thoughts I had while getting ready to finish my freshman year of college.

1. Alright let's do this.

Me @ packing

2. Time to pack my life into inconspicuous brown boxes.

3. Wow, I have a lot of stuff.

4. How did I even collect this much?

5. Heaviest things on the bottom.

6. It's like playing Tetris, but with important things.

7. I hope no one steals this box.

8. Maybe I shouldn't ship my expensive things.

9. Oh well.

10. Still not going to pay for shipping insurance.

11. If I shove clothes between things, it's like killing two birds with one stone.

12. But what if I want to wear that before I leave?

13. I know I won't actually wear it before leaving.

14. But still...

15. WHERE DID I GET ALL THIS STUFF??

16. I definitely didn't bring all of this with me.

17. Wait.

18. Yeah, no, I didn't bring this much.

19. Oh, shiny.

20. If I turn it this way maybe it will fit better.

21. This doesn't fit at all.

22. Where did I put the tape?

23. Wow, one box down.

24. Go me.

25. I am the packing queen.

26. How do I STILL HAVE SO MUCH LEFT?

27. What is this sorcery??

28. I hate this.

29. I'll just lay on this pile of clothes I need to pack.

30. This is surprisingly comfortable.

31. Never getting up.

32. I need music.

33. This would be so much more enjoyable with music.

34. I don't need this anymore.

35. Or this.

36. I should just start a bag.

37. How can one pack for hours and still have so much left.

38. Let's put everything left to pack in one area.

39. Wow, I have so much room.

40. It's so empty.

41. Hey.

42. Is that...?

43. Oh my god.

44. I've been looking for this forever.

45. It's been right here this whole time?

46. I should have listened to my parents about organizing.

47. Seriously, what the heck.

48. Who needs packing?

49. Not me.

50. I can finish tomorrow.

51. I'm just gonna sit here, and fiddle with this long lost thing forever.

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.

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.
