Moving Out As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

"Daddy's home!"

Moving Out As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

It's the middle of May and that means we college kids are moving back home for the summer! This is an exciting time because we get to be reunited with our animals, friends, family and beds. Before all of the fun summer festivities begin, we have to move out all of our stuff from a small dorm to our cars, and back home. Here is this entire process brought to you by How I Met Your Mother!

1. You start looking all around your room and think that everything is going to fit in your car.

Yeah, that back trunk can totally house all of those suitcases, boxes, and stuff you never used!

2. You start packing your clothes into many suitcases and large tubs.

"Did I absolutely need to bring all of these sweaters? I didn't even wear them once!"

3. You sell back all of your textbooks (and get like, none of your money back).

Or you place them in that beautiful, beat up, orange Chegg box. Off to UPS you go!

4. You clean out your desk and see all of the unused school supplies sprawled out in the drawers.

You used the same two pens and mechanical pencils all year.

5. You pack up all of the stuff from under the bed.

"What's that?" "Ew, don't touch it!"

6. You wash all of your sheets and such because who wants to go home with dirty stuff, right?

Mom will be proud.

7. Time to clean! That means vacuuming, dusting and wiping down all of the furniture.

At this point, you really wish you kept up on your chores during the school year.

8. While it was nice having the dresser in the closet to save space, it's a pain to take it back out!

But so worth it because there would not have been any room for dance parties!

9. Now you're realizing how much stuff you do have! But you still think it will all fit.

Totally!

10. Realizing you forgot to return your room key to the RA's office.

This is the part where you say goodbye to your lovely RAs. Don't worry, you'll see them in the fall!

11. It's time to move all of your crap in your car!

The most intense game of Tetris ever. But somehow you manage to get it all in there.

12. Now you realize that you were so wrong before and you have too much stuff!

"Why did I bring this bean bag, I never even sat in it?!"

13. You start your car and roll out of campus. See you in the fall!

SUMMER!

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
