1. Anyone who considers themself to be an overpacker knows that packing is a fucking nightmare.
2. And it’s the most cardio you’ve done since you put that fitted sheet on your mattress.
3. It’s all fine and dandy until you start and then realize that this isn’t a game anymore. This is real.

4. Writing a list gives you the illusion of organization, making you feel confident. But all that is shattered once you see what your travel buddy is bringing.

15. Never forget that shuffling items between suitcases is a fun and embarrassing way to kick off your vacation.
16. And wearing all your heavy items on the plane really messes with the undercover celeb/yoga expert aesthetic you were going for at the airport.
17. But remember that all of this neurotic packing, worrying, sweating and overthinking pays off in the end. Because guess what? IT RAINED. And guess what? You were ready.
