I am staring at two empty blue tote bags on my bedroom floor as I type this. I 'm going into my sophomore year of college at my upstate new york university. I imagined that I would feel more eager to go back this year, however, I don't know that if that is, in fact, the case. I'm currently looking at the oversized tote bags that will carry all of my belongings across the country and I can think of a number of things I'd rather do than pack. I think one major factor that is keeping me from packing is acknowledging the fact that packing means I will have to leave again. Throughout the summer back at home, I've fallen into a comfortable routine while still being productive. I think this is in large part to the people that I'm surrounded by. I know it's a crucial part of college and becoming independent, but I will really miss the security of my family and hometown friends. The thing that I miss most when I am away is my mom. There is nothing I want to do more than rant to my mom when I have a hard day or an issue with a friend arises. Though it isn't so easy when we are thousands of miles apart.
I am going to have to pack eventually, though. It might as well be now. Stay crafty & chic.
