I’m such a sappy romantic.

Confession: I am such a sap and a romantic. The biggest. I love all that cheesy stuff.
Which is why when I found The 50 Most Romantic Things That Ever Happened, I basically melted. Like an ice cube on a hot summer day.
Going through those photos, I almost cried (especially number 5). Some of the moments captured are so raw that you can’t help believe in love, even if you’re a cynic. It’s amazing.
But then again, I’m the world’s biggest sap and cornball. I love that stuff.
Confessions of an over packer

The past few days I’ve been moving everything back up to Cornell for spring semester. Settling in has been a process, mostly because I have inordinate amounts of shit. That I don’t really need, but I think I must have in order to be happy.
I think I have some kind of condition or something. No matter what the occasion–a weekend trip or a month-long winter break–I always bring ENTIRELY too much with me. In the words of my mother, “Samantha, you do NOT need to bring this much shit!” But you know what? I do. For some reason, I do. I need to bring every pair of jeans with me. I need 9 of the same color t shirt. I need to bring my bathing suit, even though it’s the middle of January. I need to have options.
Not only that, but I need to bring other shit too. Books that I won’t read. Candles that I won’t light. Pictures I’ll never hang or put in frames. Little knick knack boxes that I’ll never put anything in. SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. Is there a 12 step program for this?
To show just how bad of shape I’m in, I took pictures of my car after I was packed. Thank god I didn’t have to bring any friends up with me…
No room for anyone there…
Please keep in mind that this is my ENTIRE back seat…
Do I really need all this stuff? Yes, yes I do.
