Throwback to May 9, 2013

1. “Yeah, Mom, I’ve started packing” really means “I helped roommate pack all day yesterday and I was just waiting for you to come to pack for me.”

2. A large duffel bag full of shoes simply means she takes after her mother.

3. Plastic hangers multiply like tribbles.

4. The rapid onset of sore throat and watery eyes is probably due to all the dust bunnies that were disturbed in the packing process.

5. Re-usable grocery bags from the car trunk can also be used to transport clothing. And more shoes.

6. Thrift shop bargain clothes are hard to pass up, and subsequently hard to squeeze into a suitcase.

7. Awesome roommates volunteer to watch the pet beta fish for the summer.

8. IKEA area rugs are inexpensive and not meant to last more than 2 semesters, especially when art students spill paint on them.

9. Colleges give out way too many free tee-shirts and free plastic cups.

10. Mini-vans may not be cool to drive, but they are awesome when it comes to hauling dorm furniture.

11. An ironing board with the shrink-wrap still intact is a sign that I wasted my money on that purchase.
