I've moved to another city last week as I'm starting college tomorrow, so I thought I'd share some tips while the memory still serves me.
○ try not to panic - nothing is as dramatic as it seems
○ make lots of lists - you'll be more organized and feel less stressed knowing that everything you need is written down so you can't forget it
○try not to argue with your parents - it's stressful for them, too so don't cause any unnecessary trouble
○ prioritize - you don't want to overpack
○ remember that you can take anything you forget next time you go home, it's not the end of the world
○pack in categories - separate things into categories to be able to clearly see what's missing, lists will help here
○ have calming/motivational music prepared
○ think of it as exciting rather than tiring and stressful
○ eat - you'll need the energy
○ stay hydrated
○ wear comfy clothes - the last thing you need is to be uncomfortable or feel restrained by your clothes
○ have a charged phone in case of emergency or boredom
○ having a phone charger is also very useful
○ consult your friends about what they're brining
○ take your family's advice
○ talk with your future roommate (if you have one) and see what they're brining
Those are all of my tips, but if you've got some of your own, share your wisdom with us in the comments below. Talk to you Thursday!
