Thoughts You Have While Packing Up Your College Dorm

"How do I get all of this stuff here in my car?"

Thoughts You Have While Packing Up Your College Dorm
Ashley Faulkner

One of the most stressful things about finishing up the school year is having to pack everything up. It is insane to think of all the stuff that is accumulated during the year, essentially doubling what you originally brought with you. It obviously takes time to get everything out of the small dorm room. This leaves some time for self-reflection and questioning how exactly you found yourself with all of this stuff.

"Why did I wait until now to start packing?"

"Oh, look the shoe I lost the second week of classes."


"It was so dumb to bring a Keurig."

"Maybe this would be easier if my room wasn’t a mess."

"I don’t want to take all of my canvases off the walls."

"I am really going to miss my roommate."

"Should I put it in the donate pile?"

"I am so excited to sleep on a bed bigger than a twin XL again."

"I accumulated so many T-shirts this year."


"Where will this stuff fit when I get home?"


"Why did I bring 15 coffee mugs with me."


"Why am I using my last day packing?"



"Maybe I can just throw it all in my car unpacked."

"I hate folding."


"Have I eaten today?"

"I can’t forget my phone charger."

"Awe, look how cute we were in the photos from last semester."

"Why do I own this dress?"

"This stuff is going to take so many trips."

"Thank God for the elevator."


"I will plan better next time."

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.
