The pain of packing.

7 Things Everyone Thinks When Packing
Zola Unveiled

1. When did I get this much stuff?

Somehow by the grace of God, all of your stuffed animals, blankets, clothes, and every other small thing you forgot about has been able to coexist in your small room. You don't know when you even bought half of it. Trying to pack it...that's definitely when you want to throw in the towel.

2. I don't have the right stuff.


You have clothes and a few homey items, but somehow you don't have everything you need. So, of course, a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond seems appropriate.

3. Where did my bed/floor go?


Mt. Crapmore has exploded onto everything. The only way to get around it, become a gymnast and defy all laws of physics.

4. How am I fitting this in my car?


A Toyota Camry is only so big. Is there a way that all fifteen bags, mini fridge, vacuum, food supply, odd collection, and more can all fit? This is where your childhood tetris skills come in handy.

5. I've been looking for this!


I distract myself when packing by finding things and using them to any extent to avoid finishing packing. I'm notorious for snapchatting people things I've found, looking through books and pictures, etc.

6. I wonder if I should just give stuff away?


Other people could really enjoy some of this stuff. But it's my stuff and I don't wanna give it away. But would I really miss it when I have all this other cool stuff? But it's mine. Yeah, this cycle goes on for about an hour.

7. I'm DONE!


The moment the last bag is closed you feel a swelling in your chest. You realize that the unimaginable has happened. You are FREE! Until you have to pack it all up again. Hopefully it won't be too long until you have to go through all of this pain again.

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.
