Packing to go home for winter break is one of the hardest things in the world. I’ve been doing it for like four years now and it never gets any easier. The only thing that’s harder than packing is unpacking. Once I get back to my hometown for break, the last thing I want to do is unpack my multiple 50-pound bags and then discover that I forgot some really important items. Here are the thoughts that go through every girl’s mind as she packs, and then proceeds to unpack.
PACKING
1. Okay, how many pair of leggings do I need?
2. Three? Four?
3. All of them. I need all of them. A.K.A. 10 pair.
4. Am I going to see anyone I dislike from high school? I have to look
good.
5. How many dressy/cute tops should I bring?
6. A few black ones, oh that really chic red one, the backless gray
one for sure. I look so good in that one… okay I’ll take six tank tops and six short
sleeves, and then eight long sleeves. That doesn’t seem like enough! I’ll take two
more of each to be safe.
7. Casual tops…ughhh. Chambray, the one that looks chambray but isn’t
really chambray, my flannel...ummm what else? Did my sister steal that flowered
top? I’m going to kill her. Okay I’ll finish packing casual tops later. I just
can’t do this right now. Too many to choose from.
8. Sweaters: all of them. Like, duh. I’m never going to wear all of
those cute tops anyways if it’s going to be super cold.
9. T-shirts: you can never have too many comfy shirts… or maybe I
just need like four or five… I’ll probably end up wearing the same ones over and
over, right? 12 should suffice.
10. Underwear. * Empties
underwear drawer into suitcase *
11. Shoes… Okay let’s see…Brown leather boots. Black leather boots.
Short brown leather books. Minnetonka Fringy boots. Black Ugg boots. Tan Ugg
moccasins. Minnetonka moccasins. Gold flats. Nude flats. Black flats. Slippers.
That should cover all of my outfits, right? Whatever.
12. Pillow. Make up. Blow dryer. Flat iron. Favorite blanket…umm Mom
will have everything else at home.
13. I’m seriously so good at packing! I have eVeRyThInG!!!
UNPACKING
1. WHY DID I PACK ALL OF THIS STUFF?
2. I’M NEVER GOING TO WEAR ALL
OF THIS!
3. I’ll unpack tomorrow; I’m way too tired right now.
4. I’m just going lay here and rest my eyes.
5. OMG. I forgot my hairbrush.
6. How am I going to perfectly round brush my hair without it? My
mom’s doesn’t work as well.
7. I FORGOT MY PHONE CHARGER. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
8. WHY do mom and dad still have iPhone 4’s?
9. CRYING.
10. Where are my bras?
11. Did I really only bring one bra home?
12. I suck at packing.
Happy packing, everyone!
