Move out of college with me 🫶

2025/5/19 Edited to

... Read moreMoving out of college can be a whirlwind of emotions. As you pack up last-minute items and reminisce about the times spent in your dorm, it's essential to be organized. Start packing early, as it often takes longer than expected. The night before your move, ensure your space is well-lit to avoid missing any items and give yourself time to clean and say goodbye to friends. One useful pro tip is to categorize your belongings into essentials, donate, and discard. It's surprising how much you accumulate over the years! Make sure to label boxes clearly to simplify the unpacking at your next destination. As you experience this rite of passage, remember to give yourself grace during this transitional period—from saying goodbye to old friends to embracing new beginnings. Whether you are moving back home or relocating for a job, cherish these memories and the lessons learned throughout your college years. Completing this chapter signifies growth and the start of a new adventure.

It is super bitter sweet! If you need help packing, you can get cheap boxes from Home Depot and ship those or use them on a plane!

A checklist titled "Apartment Hunting CHECKLIST" details sections for apartment specifics like rent and utilities, questions about lease terms and pet policy, and a utility checklist for features like emergency exits and parking. An illustration of apartment buildings is at the top.
A comprehensive "FIRST APARTMENT Checklist" categorizes items needed for various areas like entrance, kitchen (appliances, dinnerware, cutlery), cookware, cleaning supplies, and office/study. A note advises selecting essentials rather than buying everything listed.
