Ode to Packing

So the only bringing "one suitcase" thing is quite baffling to me.

4 months + 1 suitcase = frustrating. Let me get this straight: every study abroad program expects you to rotate between about 4 pairs of pants and 10-12 shirts, respectively (give or take an occasional dress or Americanized going out top). If I were going to a reservation, this would be fine. But I'm going to Europe, a mecca of fashion. I guess this will be another learning experience... which I think I'll truly appreciate almost as much as I do waking up to a morning of Community Food and Juice's Veggie Scramble. For those of you who don't know the reference, this is a lot of appreciation.

Frankly, I spend too much time wondering what I'll wear the next day (see: sophomore year in high school outfit choices). Limiting my options may give my brain a break. However, since I got to college my outfits are simply a rotation of leggings and scarfs.

Also, here's my apology to my leggings: can't bring you to France. love you always.
