packin'
Packing for college reminds me of that dreadful, hypothetical 'desert island' question. Obviously I can't bring along my entire book collection. So which ones to bring? Thanks to iTunes I don't have to worry about my CD collection. Those cramped dorm closets have only room for so many outfits. Minimalism is the key here, along with practicality. It's a good thing I don't have THAT much stuff.. Another thing is, I will no longer be able to cook for myself. Every meal I've had so far today is an utter luxury: a simple breakfast of yogurt with granola, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It would be highly impractical to stock my dorm with various seasonings and there's no fridge to keep the yogurt. A simple baked potato? No aluminum foil on hand and no microwave. And forget pasta salad. No stove, no pots to boil the pasta. No cutlery to slice the cucumbers and olives. And so much else that goes into the making of a pasta salad. This rant has been brought to you by crankiness from lack of sleep. Back to packin'.
