9 months is a long time. a long time to be away from home. 9 months w/o having mom and dad hand you money all the time. 9 months means a lot of stuff you have to take.

every facet of life can be covered in those 9 months, so gotta be prepared. clothes for every occassion are a must. gotta put those clothes somewhere. so gotta get rubbermaid tubs to house all those articles of mass quantity clothes.

don't forget social time. tv is a must have. can't miss real world or sorority life...or the last season of friends. can't forget the most coveted prized possession, the link to the out side world...the one and only computer w/ webcam.

when planning to eat or cook, dishes and pots and pans may come in handy. throw those in the trunk too. notebooks, paper, pens and pencils are the brain snacks must fit somewhere.

memories have to come along. pictures of everyone ever met and a story to go along w/ them. songs on cds and tapes for when the bad mood really hits. dreams, goals, desires...they all gotta squeeze in too.

so little car, lotta stuff....is it all gonna fit??? it better!
