30 Considerations Every College Student Has Packing For The New Semester, On Top Of Anxiety

Instagram

Within the next couple of weeks, most college students will be getting into a new schedule and settling into their respective universities. And for those students that have chosen a college away from home, packing and unpacking in the span of a couple days is annoying. After you spent all this time packing your belongings, you then spend the next several hours (or days) unpacking everything and settling in before classes begin that next week. There are also the questions on what to pack, how much to pack, will this all fit in the car, am I going to have enough room in my room for all of this, etc.

It's a whole ordeal. But once you're all unpacked and ready for school, nothing can stop you.

1. "I have a lot of stuff I'm bringing."

2. "We may need to take two cars."

3. "Where is all this gonna go?"

4. "God, I hate packing."

5. "If I put it off, then school will come slower."

6. "I should get a storage unit next year."

7. "I didn't realize how much stuff I have."

8. "Should I bring fall wear now?"

9. "Or just come home some weekend and pick it up?"

10. "I should probably just bring it now."

11. "Just in case it gets cold."

12. "I probably won't wear or use most of these things."

13. "But it's better to be looking at it, than for it."

14. "I think I forgot to buy toothbrushes."

15. "Was I supposed to get cleaning supplies?"

16. "Where am I going to store these suitcases and duffel bags?"

17. "I really hope I don't forget anything."

18. "I need to do laundry before I leave."

19. "I could use a nap already."

20. "Why is this stressful?"

21. "This is making me nervous to go back."

22. "I need to make sure I have all school supplies packed."

23. "I just want to watch Netflix."

24. "I'll finish this later."

25. "No, I should finish it now."

26. "It is the day before move-in."

27. "Nothing like waiting until the last minute."

28. "I should have started sooner."

29. "Oh well."

30. "Just wait, I get to do this again next year, too."

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

In n Out all day, every day

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)
