How am I supposed to pack everything I will need in the next 6.5 months into less than 50 lbs. for my flight? That spans 3 seasons, and my mama is already on my case about how many pairs of shoes are really necessary for me to take.

This is more of a note-to-self for future reference, since so many people have warned me about over packing. It'll test my judgment to see what I really used at the end of my trip and what I could have done without so I will know for next time and can skip the small stuff (or that really big leopard-print blanket I planned on packing...).
