You have found yourself in a weird position: in college, probably near the end, and turning into a responsible adult. You don't know when it happened but you grew out of the party stage and now love to be in bed by 10 pm on a Saturday night. You used to have a set school schedule and have a bunch of free time and now you have almost every minute of the day scheduled to a tee.

Efficient as Jess. As miserable as Nick.

First thing's first: saying goodbye to your temporary home properly.

Paying rent for the month you move out.

Seeing the last of your annoying neighbors.

Convincing your parents to come help you.

Realizing you have so little time to actually move out (thank you, procrastination).

Starting off strong.

Dividing up you and your roommate's things.

Looking under your bed for the first time in nine months.

Cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning.

Seeing all the boxes you have to carry.

Deciding what makes the cut to go home and what's getting tossed.

Having to wear a random outfit because all your clothes are packed.

Getting just a wee bit sentimental.

When it's finally all over with and you can rest.

& you realize you'll have to move back in to a new apartment in just a month.
