Move in Day as Told by Friends

So, you're new room is finally starting to feel like home. You've moved past the stage where your living in a room of boxes and past the stage where you attempt to keep your newly decorated room insanely neat. You've finally gotten to that homey, lived-in feel. This means that the memories of move in day are starting to fade. Well, never fear, the cast of friends is here to help you relive each and every moment.


1. The trip

The car ride to campus is always emotional. The anticipation is killer. You're excited to move in and nervous to leave home. Basically, you're a whole ball of emotional chaos.

2. The arrival

You arrive and find your home for the next 9 months. At this point, the excitement level and energy is still high.


3. The move in


The difficulty of trying to carry a mini fridge, a microwave, chairs, drawers etc. amidst the hundreds of other people moving in, just asks for someone to use Ross's well known line.


4. Successfully fitting everything into your dorm

One word...Victory

5. The goodbye

Saying goodbye to your family is always bittersweet. Living without them for the first time is the start of a new, exciting chapter in your life.

6. Realizing how much there is to unpack

You know you should get off to a good start and unpack everything, but let's be real, it's not going to happen.


7. Avoiding unpacking

Because playing with the boxes is way more fun than sorting through everything inside of them.


8. Asking your family and friends for help

Trying to convince your family and friends to do all the work so you don't have to; let's just say that they're usually less then willing.


9. Finally getting motivated

You finally get sick of constantly tripping over things and having to root through box after box to find what you need, so you spend a solid 6 hours unpacking and organizing.


10. The finish

You've finally gotten everything unpacked and organized. (Well, except for those few decorations you swear you'll hang up later, but let's be honest you never will.) Now, it's time to kick up your feet and relax while you still can.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
