Gah I'm dumb. I jsut saw this. When I check my mounts and evrything, I
realised that my /usr was mount where /var is supposed to be. Thank god.
Now I don't need to worry about resizing and just gotta copy everything
around to switch the mount points.

Thanks for everybody's help, and if I ever do have to resize the
partitions, I'll have a good idea of how to go about doing it
