Many of my friends and family have made fun of me over the years for my extreme overpacking of the necessary and very unnecessary items. But hey, at that weeklong summer basketball camp years ago, what if I would have needed those 5 bikinis and a one piece suit for each day of the week because the swimsuits wouldn't dry? Nothings worse than putting on a wet suit!! And you know that dress up box that I have been growing since freshman year has really come in handy at all of the themed parties not only for myself but others as well!! You never know when those weird and unnecessary items will come in handy!! How am I going to pack a semesters worth of clothes and items without overpacking??
So for the past several weeks, the floor in my room has slowly become consumed by all of the items that I will be attempting to bring to Europe. I have gone through my piles over and over. New items have been bought and items have been put back into my closet. My mission today is to think logically and really focus on the necessary items in my life. I only have 1 suitcase, 1 backpacking bag, and a purse for an entire semester in Coventry, England. The checked suitcase has to be under 50lbs. I will attempt to make my backpacking bag a carry-on item meaning it has to be under 22lbs.
How will I survive!?!?!?!
Wish me luck!!
