12. There Was No Room For Anything Other Than A Tent And Monster Munch In Your Bag

Having to pack your backpack was just the worst. Not only have you never packed a bag like that before, but once you had taken everything out, you always struggled to get everything back in. Your tent took up the majority of room and your parents had to convince you to leave the BBQ's behind because the sausages would go off. So that meant all you had room for was your tent and monster munch. Basically, all the junk food you could fit in took precedence over useful things like a torch and several pairs of spare socks.
