Stages Of Packing Up Your Dorm As Told By 'Grey's Anatomy'

That time of the school year is here yet again, summer is so close you can almost taste it. Now the only thing standing between you and sweet freedom is a couple of very long nights and a few painfully long exams. Oh, wait, there's more...in addition to final exams, the spring semester comes along with dreaded move out. You've lived in the same room for almost nine months, and now you have to pack every single thing up and get it ready to go home. As excited as you are to get home and get on with your time away from school, this process can be a pain, and no one knows your struggles better than the doctors at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital.

1. When you get to finals week and you already know you have so much to do, and then someone mentions that you also have to start packing to go home for the summer.


Just no.

2. When you finally take a look around your room...

And it hits you just how much time and energy this is going to take.

3. When you realize you have to undo all of your extravagant, trendy Pinterest dorm decorating.


That's right, I'm looking at you, gold polka-dot wall...

4. Standing in front of your closet trying to figure out how you ended up with way more clothes than you moved in with.

I'm a broke college student, I don't even shop for clothes anymore.

5. When one of your friends tries to tell you that you should've started packing earlier like they did, because they're already done and ready to go home.


Yeah, of course I should have.

6. When you take a study break to "pack."


Which turns into cramming things into bags with absolutely no sense of organization.

7. After you successfully pack your first box and you feel super accomplished.

Great opportunity to dance it out

8. When your mom calls to give you some pointers on how to "maximize packing space," and "prioritize time."

"Yes, mom. OK, mom. Thanks, mom."

9. As you're sitting on your floor surrounded by everything you own wondering if you'll ever get your life back together.


How do people do this with their entire house?!

10. When you find food that you didn't even know you had (and it's not expired).

Win.

11. In addition to all the strenuous packing, you've now pulled a couple all-nighters, taken two exams, and still have one more and a presentation in front of you.

12. When you try to think of how you're going to get all of your stuff down four flights of stairs and into the car.

Magic?

13. All of a sudden, it's the night before you have to leave and you still aren't finished packing.


A mild panic attack is definitely in order.

14. That's it! You finally did it! Everything is squished into the car like a game of "Tetris" and you and your family are ready to hit the road.


Home, sweet home, here you come!

15. At last, the moment you've been waiting for is here. You get home, walk into your room, drop your bags, and jump into your giant warm bed.

After the stress and hard work you put into finals, and somehow managing to move your entire life out of the smallest room you'll ever live in, you deserve it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
