While going back to school and getting away from home is exciting, packing is probably the worst part. Making sure that you do not forget anything important or seemingly unimportant. The pressure to remember everything can be much and you will usually forget at least one thing. If you are lucky, your mom is there to make you double, triple, and quadruple check to make sure you have absolutely everything you could need.
1. I really do not want to do this.
Just having to pack everything after just getting used to being back home and being on that schedule just does not sound enjoyable in any way.
2. Do I really have this much clothes?
How do I have this much clothes and only wear the same four pairs of pants and six shirts? Then you realize that it is not really all that much because it all fits into a single suitcase.
3. Let's make sure to pack every article of clothing from the past two years because of the small chance that I have event it would work for.
4. Folding everything.
If you are like me, you organize your clothes and then fold them. I actually roll most of my clothes and only fold things like dresses, I find it saves space. Or it at least makes me feel like I am saving space.
5. Putting folded clothes into suitcase.
6. Wow, I have done a lot of work, I can take a break.
After the hour or so that it has taken to organize, fold, and pack all clothes into a single suitcase, a break is deserved.
7. *break lasts for an hour and a half*
And on this break you check every social media app, play every game, watch a few videos, and anything else to not go back to packing.
8. Okay, now on to packing things besides clothes.
This is the part that brings me the most stress. You have to pack so many things. For me that includes books, makeup, art supplies, camera, journals, jackets/cardigans, etc. Then the day of you have to pack last minute things and pray you do not forget anything.
9. I definitely deserve another break by now.
This break will probably consist of a nap from packing everything you own into a few bags.
