It’s not uncommon that girls could be known for slightly over packing when going on trips, no matter how long it may be for. Whether it’s a weekend trip or a week-long vacation, my bag will need to attempt to be zipped around four, five, possibly 10 times. I’ll roll my clothes, then fold, then roll, then completely pick new clothes that I will roll and fold and continue the cycle up until five minutes before I should be walking out the door.
As an “over-packer” myself, I am sure to make sure I am ready for any weather thrown at me. As a result, I pack a winter coat all the way to a swimsuit. Well not really, but I am sure to pack sweatshirts all the way to tank tops no matter where I am going.
Sure, I mean not all of the outfits get worn. Maybe I don't wear some of the tops I bring, but in my mind, you should always be prepared. That concept flows into vacation and what to wear, I don't care what my brothers tell me.
Obviously, my family is more than aware of this as well because of the amount of bags they have to throw in our trunk on the way to the airport or out of town. As someone who tends to pack enough for three outfit changes a day; and let’s be honest, that may actually happen when I’m on vacation, I understand what it’s like to be indecisive.
I truly don’t have any shame in needing to pack ten times to make everything fit, mostly because I have no other way to take everything I want with me on trips.
Maggie is the name and over-packing is the game.
