Packing For College Sucks No Matter How Many Times You've Done It

On Sunday August 21, I moved into my house for my Senior year of college. Exciting I know, right! But before I could move in I had to pack my car and I absolutely suck at packing for college you wouldn't believe. I packed maybe a bag or two like a week before I had to come up and everything else literally the morning I was going to be driving up to Frostburg for school and the day after being at my girlfriends place until 12:30 in the morning and the next day having to drive two and a half hours up to Frostburg for school.

For the few bags that I packed beforehand I decided to tackle just my winter clothes because of how Frostburg can be and it being cold really early in the semester. For This i basically just got all of my pants, long-sleeved shirts, flannels and sweatshirts and put as many as possible and put them into a suitcase this bit took me all of maybe 10 minutes tops. After that I procrastinated so much that I didn't do anything regarding packing until the day of move in to locate and put the rest of my stuff into my car and drive up to the good 'ol mountain town of Frostburg, Maryland.

Now actually moving in to my house and getting settled took about five whole days. The reason that it took so long is because it took a while for all my furniture to actually get into my room. The day I moved in my mother and I went to Walmart to go and pick up my bed frame and mattress and to go and set it up that part didn't take that long. I had completely forgotten about a dresser because I had assumed that there would be one already at the house. Oh how I was mistaken. There was no dresser and the one at Walmart really wasn't what we were looking for so my parents said that they'd try and find a dresser online or bring one up from back home. I had ordered a desk the morning I moved up right before I had actually left. The desk got here a day early on the 24th of August and when I got the email that it had arrived I went to go and pick it up so that I could fill out my room a little bit more. Then the last bit of furniture to actually arrive was my dresser which actually was from back home and is I believe fairly old but it arrived on the 26th of August with my parents and puppy visiting in tow. Once the dresser was in the room I was able to officially unpack the rest of my bags and finally was able to actually say that I was moderately settled in.

It's weird one would think that year after year of moving into dorms to apartments to an actual house that I'd be more prepared this time around and I think that i was the least prepared packing and furniture wise this time but you live and learn.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
