The Packing Saga


Being a college student has both its pros and cons. Well I'd rather start with all of the pros. Besides the fact that I've met some of the greatest people in the world this last semester, the work load is just right for me. Since I mentioned my friends I might as well talk about them right? So here is goes...
There is Latisha. Words cannot explain how much I love and care about her she is the hopeless romantic, very sweet and kind and always has a positive out look on EVERYTHING, thats why I love her. Ashanti is the realist. She doesn't want to hurt your feelings but she will tell you what you need to hear. Avril is the abuela, if you have a problem she will fix it, most of the time. Aneesha is the goof ball. If your having a bad day just find Aneesha and she will make you laugh it off. Kellie is the intellectual, she also thinks she's relationship counselor. The irony in that last statement is that Kellie has never been in a relationship in her life. Tiffany is the party girl with the attitude. If your having a problem with anyone Tiff is the girl you must call on. Estephany, she is the shy one that quietly always agrees and fall asleep anywhere.My close guy friends are Luis, Trevor, Spencer, Anthony and Alex. each of them are very different and they add too my college excitement. Last but not least is one o my newest friends, Danielle. She is a musical theatre major just like myself and she is bubbly and friendly. If you need a person that has a few years over you to speak to she is definitely the person to have a conversation with. These girls are more than most of my reason for wanting to go back to school. They keep me sane in that insane and hectic place. When one of us is down we lift the other up. When we are happy, we make each other laugh. It's like an extended family.
Now for the cons. There is only one and that is PACKING! That is a saga on it own. It's one of the worst experiences a person has to go through. Especially if you are me. I decided to pack today since I return to school on Saturday. Boy did I make a mistake. I started by emptying out my underwear draw on my carpeted floor, and thus the mess in my room began. My mother and sister stepped inside of my room and walked right back out. I guess they were afraid of the mess I had just created. I started grabbing bags left and right. Sorting the clean clothes from the dirty ones. The worn clothes for the new. I even made a give away pile. I piled all of my jeans into a bin, and those almost did not fit inside of the bin. I arranged my many pairs of shoes in a separate bin. During that obstacle I found a couple of pairs of dirty sneakers. So I gathered those in the bathroom and took an old toothbrush and a spray bottle with bleach and scrubbed my sneakers clean. That took a long while.
After the sneaker cleaning I went back to packing my shirts and pajamas. I decided to leave behind some of my pajamas because I noticed that I own way to many. Between my shirts and sweaters, that needs a book of its own. It was very tedious and annoying to fold all of those items, but I know my mother wasn't going to help me so I had to get the job done.
I was relieved when the piles on the floor slowly started to be clothes folded in many duffle bags. After all of my clothes were packed away, I decided to clean my bathroom. Boy wasn't that fun, NOT! That took another hour out of my day. I scrubbed the tub, sink, counters and toilette inside and out. I don't mind cleaning because I hate a dirty sink and bathroom. When that journey was over I laid in my bed tired from all of the strenuous work that I had just completed. Now for all of my college students am I wrong when I say packing is a saga?
