I can't believe I'm actually saying this...
I'm moving to North Carolina in SEVEN DAYS. Technically, move-in isn't for another three days after we arrive in Winston-Salem, but still... seven days left here in California for a good, long while. That's crazy to think about.
Basically, for the next 7 days I'm going to be putting up a post every single day (extra content for you! I usually post every 3 or so days) that relates to college. Each post will have a theme, which I will not be revealing until the post goes live at noon, PST. These posts will be a little bit more random and lighthearted than what you may have seen from Keep Not Settling recently, but change is good every once in a while. I found this idea on YouTube, since I follow a lot of college-age vloggers. However, I'll be mixing it up a bit to make it a little bit more writing-friendly. Get excited!
Today's theme is all about pre-packing. I'm not going to lie, the idea of packing always scares me. Like many people, I'm a horrible over-packer...seriously. The OCD chick in the back of my brain whispers "what if you need that some day?" from the back of my mind, and she just won't shut up. But because I'm going to have an extremely limited space (especially because I'm sharing a room with 2 other people) in my dorm room at Salem, I've had to think long and hard about what I need to take with me.
As you could probably tell, I'm a book freak. I just love books. Reading, analyzing, memorizing, gawking over my favorite fictional characters, learning everything there is to know about my real-life heroes... I have too many. Thankfully, I have a Kindle to bring with me that will serve as my main source of extra reading material for when I don't have my nose in a textbook. This being said, I can't resist the feel of real pages... Give me a pat on the back here, because I'm limiting myself to 1 book and 2 TIME magazines.
I've also managed to collect a fair amount of general dorm supplies over the last month and a half or so. It's been piling up in the corner of my room. Last night, I went on a rampaged and organized it all on the other side of my room so I know exactly what I need to check off of my lists. This allowed for some extra space to do some pre-packing organizing for clothing and shoes. Take a look!
My dad doubts that I'll manage to bring everything with me.... I beg to differ!
