Class of 2017.... how you doin?

I'm honestly not excited about starting vet school right now.

On one hand, I'm worried I'll hate it. That I'll drown in my classes and do poorly, that I won't make any friends, and that I just won't enjoy it at all.

On the other hand, I'm worried I'll like it and it won't be worth it. I just got off a 4-year undergrad program, so I know exactly how short it is. I'm scared that even if I do make friends, I'll just have to leave them again (even if it is a bit less likely since I'm staying IS for this one).

I'm just not the least bit convinced it will be worth it, but I don't really want to defer or anything because that just means ANOTHER year before I can have a place that's home for real. 🙁

I thought I was the only one! I'm headed to Ohio State too and I'm so excited but I've spent the last week crying on and off with my mom and boyfriend! It's just starting to finally hit me that I'm leaving them 🙁

This has definitely been the week where everything has started hitting me as well.... Saying goodbye to friends and family has been horrible 🙁 I am just trying to stay busy and do things during the day and then Pinterest apartment ideas at night Haha Keeping busy has helped with all the goodbyes... But I still can't bring myself to start packing because I start crying. I really do need to get on it thought because I move in a week. My excitement about school has definitely been replaced by fear for the time being :/

You guys definitely aren't alone. I've been so excited for this move until this week - I've finally started to really say my goodbyes and it's been rough. I cried on my lunch break today. 🙁

Could you invite a friend over to help you start packing? Turn on some fun music, grab a few beers... if my husband wasn't around to push me to pack we wouldn't be nearly as packed up as we are now. It can be tough and emotional... having someone to help and to keep it light really makes a difference!

 

[Abnerrs]

I'm packing alone and this totally blows and I HATE IT!

 

[Abnerrs]

Seriously what in the hell?! I have so much ****!

 

[felinelvr44]

We're on box #38 and still only about 75% done. WTF. Where did all this stuff come from? 😱

Man, I thought I was bad. I'm on box #13 so far and my apartment is fully furnished! 🙄

Glad I'm not the only one who numbers their boxes . . .

 

[Abnerrs]

Lol you guys are weird. (though I'm lucky if I get them labeled at all heh)

 

[felinelvr44]

Not only numbered but I have a master packing list on my ipad where I have the contents of each box listed. And it's searchable! 😀 I was also color-coding the boxes with different colors of tape according to what room they should go in but I got lazy and stopped.

 

[Abnerrs]

With my mad packing skillz most of the boxes would say "random ****" anyway.

I have a master list too! Mostly because I may need one to cross the Canadian border in the extremely unlikely event that they ask me for an itemized list of all my belongings. But it's going to make unpacking sooooo much easier!

Definitely! And if I'm going to have my entire life in boxes, I'd at least like to know where it all is in case I desperately need *insert thing here* before I unpack everything else. At least that was my thinking...

 

[wildcatj]

I'm packing most of my life's belongings into two giant rubbermaid totes. Everything I own has to fit in my little VW rabbit along with two cats and my excellent driving partner best friend. God bless her for making this trip with me.
Seriously has not hit me that I'm leaving though. I feel like I'm really excited, but at the same time I know I'm going to be really really sad to leave my family. I really only have this one friend who's still here, though so at least there's that. Plus I'm trying to convince her to move out to Columbia with me after she graduates in December.
Eventually I'm going to cry a lot. Pretty sure it's not going to be until after school starts though. Then I will realize this is real life and it's going to be a while before I see my family. I'm going to really miss them 🙁

 

[Filly Bay]

Okay. I'm leaving home in approximately 22 hours for my apartment and I'm not done packing! I need to get off the internet and get my butt in gear... At least I have all the big things (furniture and whatnot) loaded already and all of my kitchen and clothes packed.

 

[Kpowell14]

I'm moving on Friday morning... And I'm still in NY with my fiancé... Have a 15 hr drive home...Still have packing to do... Ugggggh the next two days are gonna SUCK!

You've also got a VW Rabbit!? Me too!! Mine is black. That's really great that your bestie is coming out with you. But I definitely have the same feelings and reservations about leaving family and friends behind. I guess the only good thing is that even if I went to my IS school, I still wouldn't see them much anyway.

Anyway, I think I've packed the majority of my things. I am just gathering litthe things here and there that I may be missing. It still hasn't really hit me yet... I've said my goodbyes to two of my best friends. One a month ago and the other as we were leaving comic-con. I have two going away parties- one from my mom Friday and then one Saturday from my dad and my step-mom. I think tears will be flowing once I get out there and feel alone,

I have a VW hatchback as well. Mine's a GTI though 🙂

Yessss! They can be best friends. Mine is red, her name is Jessica, Jessica Rabbit. And if no one gets the reference I will be thoroughly disappointed in you all.

Love love it!! Super cute! Mine is named Elric- a boy. Named after the Elric brothers from FMA

 

[that redhead]

I'm really glad I'm not the only one that names their car 😀

 

[Trilt]

Mine's Hagrid. 😀 He's a VW but not a rabbit.

 

[Frozenshades]

My family designated my car as Stubby. My friends call it the egg

 

[that redhead]

My truck is Sawyer.

 

[equineconstant]

My car (which is now actually mine and not my dad's, as of last night!) is the Buru-Beri. 😀

 

[Escalla]

My Escape is called Boo for unknown reasons.....

VW hatchback club! Loved my little black bug.

 

[Abnerrs]

I have a Saturn Ion. His name is Spencer. Everyone thinks he's a girl, he's just very metro.

 

[DVMDream]

My sister named my old car Toaster Oven... a.k.a "The Brave Little Toaster"

 

[cs5910]

Today is the day where I start packing... I WILL start packing. I will stop freaking out and get it started... I hope...

YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Just don't think about why you're packing and ignore all things. It's working for me.

 

[kakurubird]

On the flip side, except for clothes for the last few days and the dog's things, I was pretty much all the way packed about a week in advance. Obviously helps that I wasn't packing up an entire apartment though. I was ready to get out of there.

Yep, I leave on Monday and just have to pack a few odds and ends. Otherwise I'm done (minus last few clothing items and cat stuff). I made magic packing my car. Still have a ton of room. I felt compelled to actually put everything in my car. I was so worried that I wouldn't have enough space for everything so I wanted to try it out. And now I don't feel like unpacking it. Done!

 

[cs5910]

You guys would be so proud... I got all of my clothes packed today! No boxes for me, I decided to use "Space Bags" because they fit better in my small car and leave less wasted space.

My family is moving out of our house during the fall semester, so I have to pack ten years of my life into boxes for that move as well. Once I concentrated on getting ready for that move, I was able to pack for my move to OSU much easier without getting sad haha

Tomorrow, on to packing linens, dishes, and the rest of my stuff. Thanks for the support everyone! 😍

 

[twelvetigers]

Unrelated, but someone needs to name my car for me. Nothing has ever stuck. I think I tried to name him Alfred once...

 

[Kpowell14]

Just got home from NY. Time to crash.

Yay!!!! Good job! I packed most of my clothes in space bags too. I have two giant rubbermaid totes that I packed to the brim with kitchen stuff and used my clothes to wrap dishes/fill in the dead space. Then all the rest of my clothes went in space bags. I was SO worried everything wasn't going to fit, but I still have a TON of room for just cats, a cooler and travel bags for my best friend and myself.

 

[equineconstant]

I know all my stuff isn't going to fit in one trip--I'm going to need all the space for my bed! Then another trip of boxes and suitcases. And then I'll need to come back one more time so I can drive up in my car instead of the family minivan we're using to move stuff. Luckily the drive is only an hour long, so I can get away with it.

If you post a picture, I'll bet you'll have more name suggestions than you can handle!

My truck doesn't really have a name, but I sometimes refer to is as "The Beast" because it's huge. As in, "The Beast is out of gas AGAIN!" or "This beast will not fit in that parking space."

My previous cars were a Buick LeSabre named Mr. Heckles (after the senile neighbor in Friends) which was then changed to Reginald, and a Chevy Lumina named Red Death. You can probably guess how safe the Lumina was.

 

[Kpowell14]

Freaking out.. Moving tomorrow.. Exhausted from my trip this week.. Ugh 🙁 my room is almost completely packed. But there is still so much to do 🙁

 

[WelshCob]

First off I'll add to the car discussion. I have a Scion TC in red and her name is Scarlett.

I wish I was moving to some place different! I've been in this town 6 years already, and will be here another 4 before I can think about moving. =/

Not moving either... kinda tired of the same college town, but at least I 'got away' to kansas for a year.
