I HATE PACKING SO MUCH!!!!!!

Anyone have any tips on how to make the next 2 days considerably less stressful?!

Besides setting it all on fire...

I usually just cram it all in, not caring about what goes where or whatever. Also, don't think about it because the more you do, the more stress there is. But don't forget about those stupid small items. They take forever! Shampoo, ID's, figurines, etc. There's always way too much of them and it takes forever to get them packed.

What's worse than packing though is unpacking.

::shrugs::

Get a friend to help you, that way you have to pack less so in turn it will be less stressful.

*sigh* You know you're stressed when chamomile tea won't relax you...

Aww, my poor kimmie.
*exsessive snuggles and heartfelt kisses, enough to make any onlooker go into a diabetic coma, or vomit from the sweetness, bwa*

I ask my mum and she gets stressed for me while she packs my stuff!

I hate packing too. What can really help you is if you pack only what you need, store things in bags, put socks in shoes and only bring ones that will fit into a suitcase unless where you're going requires certain types, and especially only pack a few things if there's a washer/dyer where you're going.

heh...i agree...unpacking stinks....

even if i am just going for three days or w.e, i put out my huge suitcase and take big armfuls of stuff and put it in the suitcase until my whole wardrobes in it heh....that way i dont forget a thing

!!!

That's the kind of tea I drink!!

That sucks Gal, your too stressed. You either need a vacation, or more honey in the tea lol

Psst: Nai, she'd have to PACK for a vacation.

I've never had a problem with packing. At least until my mom gets into the action like she did when I was packing for Australia. Anything she gets involved in automatically makes it 10 times more stressful than it needs to be.

A little tip from personal experience: Make sure things in little bottles that look like shampoo and conditioner are actually shampoo and conditioner. One time when I went to summer camp I packed a little bag with three travel-size bottles which I THOUGHT were shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. They were actually three different types of body things, so I had not shampoo or conditioner the whole week! Luckily I borrowed from someone else.

Unfortunately, I'm packing to go home--for summer holiday. When I get home, I'll have to UNPACK and clean my rooms, then I'll have to REPACK 'cause we're redoing my room this summer, and then I'll have to UNPACK and then REPACK in August to move back to school.

F*CK

Poor Gal...

I packed today for a trip we were supposed to go on today, but... well... now we get to go on a 14-hour drive tomorrow. =/

Ha ha, sucks to be your Snoink
And i've never had a problem with packing, I pack every fortnight to go to my friend's house
What I do: Get a nice big bag, grab a few pairs of jeans, a T-shirt or 2, socks, underwear, and the other essentials.
That's about all I do when I pack, and the whole process doesn't take anymore than 5 minutes.
And as for the tea, 1 I don't like tea 2 It probably wouldn't relax me anyway, not many things can make me relax.

Gal, you can always do what I do:

DONT PACK!

It doesn't quite work when you need clothes or something, but for the most part, its easy.

Ah, j/k. But, hey, it will be over soon, right? I mean, packing isn't THAT bad. Is it? I don't hate packing, I actually like it. Ooh, I know what terminates stress! Massages! They work really well...

I wouldn't mind packing if it wasn't in the midst of the end-of-the-year hustle and bustle. Finals are TOMORROW and we have to be out by THURSDAY at 11 AM!! That's RIDICULOUS.
