Every college student has been there. It’s the beginning of the summer and college seems like a distant thought. Then it’s a month in, you may or may not have had orientation, but you are pumped and ready to start your new life. And then suddenly, it’s less than two weeks before move-in day. And you are hilariously unprepared.

1. First, you feel nothing but excitement when you think about your new life and home!!

At this point, you are so done with high school, you don’t feel the nerves yet.

2. Then, at some point before orientation, nerves hit you like a pile of bricks.

What if I don’t make any friends? Who will eat with me? Oh my god what if I have to eat alone??

3. Orientation happens and everything goes well, and you’re back to your excitement phase, now that you have made some friends.

4. Summer goes on, and then it’s a month until move-in day, you’re totally not ready, but you don’t really care at this point.

Packing doesn't take that long, right?

5. All of a sudden, your friends are moving away, it’s two weeks until you move-in, and it hits you that you have done absolutely nothing productive this summer.

Oh, packing takes long whEN YOU HAVEN’T BOUGHT ANYTHING.

6. You frantically start shopping and packing when you suddenly start crying in the middle of the storage section in Target.

It finally hits you that you’re moving away from your family, friends, and the community you grew up in.

7. And you try not getting emotional in front of your parents so they don’t say “I told you so”

8. You start wondering if you made the right decision, asking yourself the most ridiculous questions.

9. You feel this way up until you actually move-in, but when you finally finish setting up your dorm and spend your first night there, you know immediately that you made a good choice.
