Desperate times call for desperate measures.
The last resort. The plan B. We are all very aquatinted with this concept. That item you choose because there’s no other feasible option; That person you snap because everyone else is ugly. You know it and have experienced the ramifications of it. I, for one, know it all too well. Let’s just say a lone Italian sub from my campus’s art museum wasn’t my first choice for lunch.
You can’t hear me but if you could, you’d know that I just took a deep-ass-breathe and I think you should too. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret though - you’re cooler than you were 30 seconds ago because you’re reading something that you aren’t required to be reading. Good for you. That’s cool. You’re cool for that. I’ve been sitting in the same building, in the same seat, for almost 6 hours now. I’ve watched seven lectures, drank a sixth of a coffee, and found a chocolate in my bag from god knows how long ago and ate it. I haven’t decided if I’m in a good mood or not. As I had no idea what to write about this week I obviously referred to the most reputable of all existing sources; my friends. The conversation went like this:
Ok. Got it. Super helpful.
Me: “As a college student, what would you want to rea…”
Friends: “sex”
how to pack a suitcase
how to pack a suitcase
Where to start.
Ok. I heard you want to pack a suitcase. Don’t worry. It’s natural. First thing to note: no matter how prepared you think you are, you will always forget something and that’s ok. There is a solution to every problem.
It’s not gonna fit all the time.
Yeahhhhh sorry to break the news but that’s not fitting. No matter how much weight you put on it that thing is not zipping. Stop forcing it. it’s ok to sacrifice that fugly top. Trust me. Your body, I mean your suitcase, is telling you something. When in doubt, listen to your luggage.
Use protection.
Put your toiletries in a zip-lock bag. If you fail to do this, they will spill all over and you’ll have a giant mess to clean. If you’re the super careful type you could even put your shoes in one too. This way, when you pull out, sorry…pull them out…everything will be nice and clean.
damage control:
OGs remember this part of the blog. The part where shit gets real. I haven’t incorporated it in the last couple posts but thought it was necessary today. If you are overwhelmed right now keep reading and if you’re not, I low key don’t know if we could be friends. Here’s the the bad news: there’s A LOT going on and I don’t think theres any stopping that. But the good news: you’re doing it. You’re literally doing it all. Why haven’t you realized that yet? You don’t have to give every single task every ounce of your energy for it to be complete. Don’t tell anyone but you’re allowed to slack a little on that paper the world’s not gonna end. I mean it might but it will have nothing to do with the fact that you incorporated five sources instead of six.
