Packing and unpacking is always a drag, but packing up your whole life and moving it to a new place calls for a lot of stuff and a lot of hard work. One of the most annoying things I have ever done was packing up my dorm and realizing I had nowhere to put everything once I got home. I'm sure every college student can find this relatable, so here is a list of the reality of unpacking from college as told by current music.

So, good luck to all of the college students as you make your way home and start to unpack. All of us say we're going to get it done right away, but we know that we'll still have a couple things laying around when the end of the summer hits. Hey, at least it's summer!
