As the year is quickly coming to an end that calls for move out day. It’s going to be hot and not fun but if you stay organized and follow these 10 tips it won’t be so bad.
The first tip would be to sort everything into groups. Some items you might not even want anymore so separating items into groups can help you be more organized. The second tip is to ship things home that may be too big or that would give you more room when packing up the car.
The third tip is to pack up before finals approach. Finals week can be tiring and stressful and you don’t want this to be in the back of your mind. The fourth tip is to split a storage unit with a friend. If you have some stuff you only need in the fall or bigger items you can put them in a unit for next semester.
The fifth tip is to clean before leaving and check for any damages. You don’t want to be fined for anything so it’s important to check before leaving. The sixth tip is pack your bags in sealed bags. Clothes can take up a lot of room, especially winter clothes so getting sealed bags can make more room.
The seventh tip is to talk to your RA and see if there’s a certain time you have to move out by, you don’t want to end up with nowhere to stay. The eighth tip is to give yourself time. Moving out can be overwhelming and many buildings here don’t have elevators. So pace yourself, dress accordingly, and take it step by step.
And the last tip is to enjoy these last few weeks in your dorm. It’s an experience that’s different for everyone however it’s what makes college such a big step.
These tips will help make your move out experience easier and more organized as the school year comes to an end and the weather gets warmer.
