Packing For School As A Sophomore As Told By 10 Spongebob GIFs

There are some major differences between packing for college as a freshman and packing as a sophomore. For example, there are less than 10 days before I move in, and all I've done is locate my bedding and move some boxes around 'cause you're a PRO now ;) !

I know some people have been counting down the days since they moved out at the end of spring. But I've honestly lost track of time, and just this morning I realized just how fast this semester is coming up. I immediately began to panic, especially after going abroad in the spring, I've nearly forgotten about what I actually need. I tried to look through what I had from the fall, but I got overwhelmed and took a nap instead.

This is a huge difference from going into freshman year- a month before moving in, I was ready to go. I had hit Bed, Bath & Beyond with coupons in one hand and a long list in the other. I had decorations picked out and a vision of how my room was going to look.

Going into sophomore year, it's almost the complete opposite. Here was my thought process throughout today:

1. Shoot, I move in in two weeks!

Me, after checking Instagram and seeing Nova posts about the start of the school year.

2. Do I even need to go back to school shopping?

Me, laying in bed, thinking about all the stuff I had organized so nicely just one summer ago and assuming I can just use the same stuff.

3. Wait, where did I put all my stuff from last year?

After breakfast, I looked through my stuff and attempted to organize it, but I got overwhelmed in the middle of doing that. So, now there are piles of random things in my room that I have to walk around to get to my bed.

4. I know I don't need new bedding, but I really like this new print.

Since I got overwhelmed by the stuff I already had, I decided to check out new things and fell down the rabbit hole of back-to-school online shopping. You really can't go wrong with Urban Outfitters bedding. I found a set that had a pretty array of flowers across it, but...

5. Ugh, why is it so expensive?!

... then I checked the price and decided that new bedding is definitely not in my budget.

6. Shoot, I have to get textbooks.

On the topic of expensive items, I started looking at the list of books I need for my classes.

7. But do I really need textbooks??

Then, I started thinking about the textbooks I bought the previous semesters that I had only used maybe three times and are now in a box in my basement with the rest of my forgotten school projects.

8. Why is it so expensive?! (round 2)

I chose the cheapest option for all my books (I ain't got money to spare this time around to buy fresh new books for each class), and the total! is! still! ridiculous! I can sacrifice new bedding BUT not tools for education... *mindset tip*

9. Oh man, how am I supposed to even start packing?!

How the heck do I efficiently pack everything?? *imagination* Fingers crossed my Prius can fit it all... (Fun fact: I took 2 cars to Nova moving in freshman year)

10. Whatever, I'll just organize when I get there. Maybe.

Exasperated, I decided that I'll just shove everything into boxes and organize when I actually move in. Honestly, I'm probably just going to sleep with boxes around me, and it might take a week for all that stuff to get out of the boxes.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
