A serious question for my blogging community:
During the course of unpacking (which is, I'm discovering, at least a three-month process) I have found numerable hooded sweatshirts. These are not just any hooded sweatshirts, though--they're sentimental. I have several from high school, as well as a couple from college. Sports teams, seniors, floor names. One has the name of every girl in my graduating class on the back. Another has a pun that only makes sense to 20 people on this earth. However, I don't live in the Midwest and I'm not in high school so I don't really have a need for twelve hooded sweatshirts.
Do I store them for memory's sake or do I give them away?

Give it away. Seriously, simplify your life - you'll always have the memories, you don't need the sweatshirt.
Good point, Lauren. Toss em, Ghee.
But keep one.
Besides which, your bro got another 10 from Honey ROck.

You could make them into a blanket of memories... that's what I'm doing with a big stack of sentimental T-shirts I have.
Or, you could store them in the back of your spiffy vehicle for College Spontaneous trips to the beach :)
Never, ever, under any circumstance, should you get rid of hoodies. That's just me talking, but it's an absolute truth.
I totally support Alisa's suggestion of the blanket. :)
I have made a decision. When the Jerm comes to visit next week I will see which ones he wants. The remaining will go into my backseat emergency kit in my car.
Thanks for all your suggestions!
by "backseat emergency kit" do you mean several boxes of wine coolers, a ridiculously large corona, and a loaf of albertsons bread?
Don't get rid of them. ever. i just threw mine away last week after dragging my blue, fraying hoodie through 6 states over 8 years.
i did it in the name of simplification and i regretted it the minute i walked away.
my blue hoodie had several wholes. everywhere. inside, outside, in the hood, on the hood, in the left hand pocket, and in the ribbing. i drove it from boise to cannon beach and we lived together 4 months.
i drove it back to boise. then back to oregon 2 years later.
4 years went by and i moved again. only this time i didn't move accross a state border, i moved accross town. and that's when i threw it away.
