Unicorn Onesies & Packing

It’s pretty daunting to leave for another country, and even more nerve-racking when you’re about to start a new school in said country. Or at least, that's how I feel. I've always been a homebody, but my home has always been on the move with my family. A love of traveling was instilled upon me at a very young age as we moved around every few years. At 21 years old I have moved twelve times and now for the first time in my life, I will truly be on my own trying to adult and find my way through a new country and life itself. If I have any problems, I can’t just drive home on the weekends and vent to my parents as I have done plenty of times at Georgia Southern University. Don’t get me wrong, I love being on my own and I am very excited to go to England, as this has been my dream since I was about eight years old, but change, any kind of change, is terrifying. As I get closer to leaving, I find myself panicking a little bit more and more. I’ve made tons of lists of things that I need to do, and double checked them all, and yet I still feel like I’m forgetting something important.

So as to avoid any major panics before I leave, I started my packing process early and managed to pack up way more of my life than I ever thought would be humanly possible, which was an immense relief. Speaking of which, if you find yourself in a similar position, I suggest rolling your clothing when packing. You can fit WAY more clothes into your bag that way. I was pumped when I realized I’d be able to fit not just one, but two, of my unicorn onesies into my suitcase when I thought I had no room left to pack anything else. In case you don't know what a onesie is, it is the most magical and comfortable of all pajamas, as it must be since that is what you are probably accustomed to seeing babies swaddled up in. I can't wait for the first time I get to whip out my onesies as it starts to get chilly out. I'm sure I'll get a laugh or two from my flatmates, however; since they're guys I'm sure they won't be as entertained by my sparkly unicorn onesie as I am, but hey you can’t please everyone! Living in Georgia, USA I don’t get very many opportunities to wear them so I'll take any oppurtunity I can get. Even in January and February it can still get up to the mid-80s down south, so you’re never really cold or get the opportunity to wear warmer clothes. It'll be nice to have some change of scenery and weather. I’m excited to snuggle up in something warm with an exciting book and cup of tea and watch the leaves change color and snow fall. It’s hard saying goodbye to everything I know, but it’ll be beautiful making new memories and friends in a place I’ve only ever dreamed of. Four days and counting. Ready or not here I come.
