As the summer approaches, it means that it's time to go back home for the summer. Many of you were probably dreading it just as much as I was. Before you go home, you have to go through move-out day, while it isn't as stressful as move-in day, there are still some struggles you will go through.
1. Procrastination
If you're anything like me you probably put off packing until the day you had to move out. I didn't have any boxes or anything to pack my stuff in. So I had to wait for my mom to bring boxes down before I could pack anything up.
2. Clutter
You never really realize how much stuff you have until you have to pack it all up. I went through and threw out so much stuff, but somehow still had more stuff than when I moved in. I guess I collected a lot of free stuff throughout the course of the year.
3. Disgust
I cleaned my room pretty often throughout the year, but I guess I never really cleaned it good enough. Before moving out I had to wipe down every inch of my room, and let me just tell ya, it was not a pretty sight.
4. Getting everything out of the room
After you finally have everything packed up, you now have to get it down to your car. Every dorm is different but in my case, I had to walk down a flight of stairs and then wait for an elevator. Then when I got into an elevator, tons of people had to cram in with all of their stuff... not fun.
5. Packing up the car
This is just one big game of tetras. You just have to pray that everything is going to fit.
6. Getting home
It's such a nice feeling to finally be home after a long day of moving boxes. When I got home, I just left everything in the car to deal with the next day.
7. Unloading the car
When it was the next day I had to unload the car, which is just as bad as loading it up. At this point, my whole family was so over moving boxes that I ha to unload all of my stuff by myself, thanks, guys.
8. No room for ANYTHING
I had to bring everything to my room and I quickly realized that I have no room for any of the things I brought home.
9. Relaxation
Finally, after all of the packing, moving, driving, and unloading it's time to relax and enjoy the summer before it's time to do it all again in three months.
Although moving out of the dorms can be stressful, it's not as bad as move-in day was. I'll see you all in the fall!
