As excited are everyone is for break, it is awful to pack for. You finished studying for days just to have to spend more time packing your things in your suitcases (which will not leave the suitcase until you move back to school). We all go through it and here are the five steps you are sure to follow when you pack to go home.

1. Procrastinating Packing. You stand there and stare at your empty suitcase for at least ten minutes before you decide you need to take a much needed break from packing. A couple hours and a couple Netflix episodes later you finally have to start packing.

2. Figuring Out What To Pack. After you finally stop procrastinating you stand there and stare at your closet now trying to decide what to bring home with you. You can never predict what you will be doing over break so you have to make sure you are prepared.

3. Figuring Out What Not To Pack Once you have laid out your entire closet on your bed and floor you have to analyze everything to see what you do not need and what you need. You eventually begin to have an inner battle about what can stay and what has to come home with you. This is probably the most frustrating step.

4. Over Packing. After you have sorted out all the clothes you do not need, you realize that it was not that much. You have over four bags full of clothes and things are stored everywhere in those bags. You walk out of your building carrying shoes in your hands and wearing your heaviest and bulkiest clothes so you did not have to find room for them in your bags.

Packing can be stressful, but do not forget you are packing to be able to spend time with your friends and family. Happy Packing!
