Packing Tape Should Not Be Used For Painful Practical Jokes

Geez, talk about a mess. It's packing time for college! One week left and I'm already neck-deep in a card-board castle. I feel like I'm packing my life away in little brown contraptions, trying to figure out what's important to me. I can almost see my past four to seven years pass through my eyes as I rummage through the dark corners of my closets and drawers.
My friend suggested I get friends, siblings, and family to help, but I want to do this myself. I must. I half-imagined that when packing time would actually come, all I would need would be two boxes and a backpack. How impossible that seems now. Part of me wishes I could just dump out my room in a box and take it with me, but the other part is excited about starting anew, with only my most needed possessions, in a new city, a new school, and hopefully, with a new me.

A few of the stuff I will be taking with me::

• art supplies - paints, brushes, glue gun, etc.
  
• piano sheet music
• books
• scarfs, hats, ties
• cds
• shoes, shirts, pants
• dress outfit
• vacuum, iron, lamp
  
• laptop
• yearbook
• Bible
  
• stuffed animals
• self.
