College: Move-In

So this week we decided to focus on college, and today we have decided to discuss the move-in process.

When you start the move-in process you have to buy lots of new things for your dorm room (ie. bedding, appliances, food, etc.). However, don't buy a lot of food because you won't know how much you will eat out or in the dorm, we ended up wasting a lot of food our first semester. After buying all of these things you must pack it all up and make it fit in one car, due to the fact that most campuses will only allow one car during move-in days. After playing the ultimate game of tetris with all of your belongings you must then drive to your school and check-in. After you've waited in line to get to the building you must unpack everything as quickly as possible(luckily for us there were people from different campus organizations that helped us load everything into our dorm). After you get your keys you must unpack and sort through all of your things. You may think that that it ends but you will rearrange everything at least 3 times during the first months until you figure everything out. Although it may seem very stressful the whole process is very structured and goes quite smoothly. The best advice we can give is to stay calm and have fun!
