Summer is halfway
over. You might be excited to
move out from your parents’ house and move in to your new apartment or college
dorm or you are still wondering if this is really a good idea. Well, it’s always best to plan ahead
especially in major decisions like this.
Moving out may be thrilling and exciting to some but it can
also be intimidating to a few.
Leaving your parent’s house is a major one and living on your own can
bring about a lot of stress on your end.
This transition in your life can open new doors of opportunity should
you embrace it with open arms.
These guidelines will help you achieve a successful and a smooth moving
in transition.
1. Know
where you are moving. Check out the
Internet or better yet go to that place, whether it’s a residence hall, an
apartment or a condo, nothing beats a firsthand experience.
2. Check
out their move in dates. Most
residence halls have move in dates that you need to follow. Most of the residence halls don’t
accept students prior to their scheduled move in dates. Know when the date for New Students
Orientation is. This will help you
jumpstart your new life in college with other new students.
3. If
you’re not going to get any support from your parents, you should start
scouting for work. You should
learn how to save money while in college. Getting a decent work will help you
sustain your college life.
4. Prepare
all your stuffs for shipping and hauling. You can either ship your stuff directly
to your new address prior to moving in or you can just haul it with you on the
same day you’re moving in. You
will need corrugated boxes and tapes to transport your personal stuffs and
appliances. Bestpack.com also sells high quality packaging system and taping machines
should you know anyone with a requirement.
5. Practice cooking. Going out and eating fast food will
quickly exhaust your funds.
Learning to cook will help you save money for other important matters.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to moving out
for college. Enjoy this new season of your
life and get to know a lot of new friends to keep you away from getting
bored and remembering your parents.
