Five Stages of Packing

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winona chapter.

It’s that time of year. The time of year filled with nothing but stress. Stress over last minute projects. Stress over finals. And that stress of packing everything your have managed to accumulate over the year. Here are the five stages people go through while packing as told by Grey’s:

 

1. Denial – there is really no need to pack. You can just buy new stuff, right?

 

 

2. Anger – you hate everything you own and in all honesty it should just pack itself.

 

 

 

3. Bargaining – if you do decide to go through with this idea of “packing”, do you at least get something from it?

 

 

 

4. Depression – you cry thinking about the stuff that you somehow have to fit in your car.

 

 

5. Acceptance – you obviously have way more stuff than should be humanly possible, but keep everything anyway.

She has a die-hard love for all things beauty and fashion, and dreams of owning everything on her Pinterest boards one day. With her bright and bubbly personality, she loves meeting new people and sharing a good laugh.
