oh, hi college

[colberry]

Oh goodness.  When did this happen?  :O
I only have a day (not counting today) left until I make that seven-hour drive up to college.  It's my first year so it's kind of...  awesome-exciting-scary-wtf-YES-how-the-hell-am-i-going-to-do-this.  I'm ahead of some of my friends though -- I know how to do laundry.  However, I did not know that I needed to get my own laundry detergent...  This lovely gem is only one of the lessons that I have learned so far:

Lesson #1:  Vacuum bags will save your life.  I'm talking about those bags you stuff as much crap as you can into and suck all the air out.  I saved like.. at least 4 tons of space with them.

Lesson #2:  Yeah, that TV is NOT going to fit in your car.  Sorry about that.

Lesson #3:  You will find yourself staring at your personal knick-knacks (those see-speak-hear-no-evil frogs, that seashell, that I <3 NY pin) and you will be at a loss of what to bring.  You will keep staring for an hour.  And you will not accomplish anything for that hour.

Lesson #4:  "How come I only have 2 pairs of jeans??"

Lesson #5:  You know you're going to forget something vital.  And that thought is going to stay with you all throughout packing, all throughout stuffing everything into the car and all throughout the drive there.  And it will only be once you arrive at your dorm, that will you pinpoint just what you're missing.  

Haha, I haven't even left yet and already chaos is happening!  Ah, I love it though. 

Sorry for the ramble, but I found this amusing. 
I'll try and update Violet Pulse sometime next week.  As you can tell, I'm definitely going to be busy!!
