For most college students, move in day is an exciting time. Move in day means that your friends are only steps away and freedom awaits. The only problem is move in means you have to pack and, as we all know, packing is a chore.
Prior to Move in Day:
1. Just thinking about packing is a drag.
2. You start packing and think, "Hey, this isn’t so bad."
3. You run out of suitcases and bags to pack your belongings.
4. You realize you don’t need half of the things you packed, so you begin to unpack.
5. Then you find you unpacked everything, so you begin packing again.
6. You text the roommate group chat and tell them how annoying it is to pack.
7. Of course there is always the one person that is completely packed and has been for a month.
8. Then you tell everyone how much you miss them and you can’t wait to see them.
Move in Day:
1. You’re torn— you want to get out of bed to go to school, but at the same time, you know this is the last time you’ll be in your bed at home for a few months.
2. You pack the items you couldn’t pack the night before.
3. Then you realize how much you forgot, so you’re running around trying to find and remember everything.
4. Your parents start yelling at you because they have been telling you to pack for weeks, and of course you didn’t listen.
5. Finally, you get everything together and pack the car.
6. You find your car isn’t as big as you thought.
7. You start picking and choosing what you can do without until parents’ weekend.
8. Once you finish packing the car, you’re off to school!
9. You get to school and there’s a long wait at Res Life to get your key.
10. You text your roommates to find out if they are on campus yet.
11. Of course in the meantime you have to take the obligatory Snapchat with the hashtag “#backoncampus.”
12. You get your key and head to your room, so you can, once again, unpack.
13. As you walk to your room, you pass multiple people that you know, and your mom continuously asks, “Who are they?”
14. You walk in and your roommates are all there, so it’s one big reunion.
15. After multiple trips to unload the car, now it’s time to organize your space for the next nine months.
16. Your parents help you unpack and get everything set up.
17. Then it’s time to say goodbye to your parents for the next few months.
18. But first, a family picture in your new dorm room.
19. After your parents leave, you come back and take another obligatory Snapchat with “#roomies #reunited.”
20. You text everyone else that you’re back on campus and the party is in your room!
