We are all on the same boat right now, feeling drained, feeling anxious for finals, feeling dead inside really because all you want to do is go home and sleep for a week straight and then wake up to do nothing but binge watch shows, go to the beach, maybe work out? Even work to end some money.

Before all of that happens though… you have to move out your dorm room. Sounds pretty simple and straight forward but it takes so much time and effort and planning that we might as well call it another final. The last final before you can get on that train or plane back home.

First of all you have to figure out where to leave all your stuff if you live faraway from where you go to college. So it’s either convincing a friend of yours and their parents to let you leave your entire room in their house or get a storage unit.

Once you know where you are going to leave your things, you have to go through your things. A little spring cleaning would be nice anyway, so you sort out all of your belonging and decide what to keep and what to throw away/give away.

The tricky part though is that you need half of those things to survive until the day you leave school, but you also need to leave all that at your friend’s/ storage unit before you leave…. It’s a hard life, man. So either someone that lives close buy takes pity on you and lets you borrow a sheet and a towel (guilty of that) or you just decide that you'll throw those away and buy new ones at the beginning of next Fall.

After you’ve decided that you have to get a hold of someone with a car to drive you there and back a couple times until you have successfully relocated all your stuff.

You are not done yet though. You have to have everything ready to leave after your exam. EVERYTHING. And then get a ride to the train, to then go to the airport or wherever you are going. And then taking a plane. And then finally making it home and getting in a car to get to your actual house and peacefully die laying in your bed :)

Now you are done.

At least for the summer until you have to go back to school. Then you have to move in.
