Moving is already stressful enough, but moving your whole life into a tiny dorm room makes it even more stressful. If you're like me and your school is a few hours away from home this can make it even more stressful. But, no need to stress (i've already done it enough for all of us). Here's a list of tips to get you through your college moving experience:

A few things to remember: No matter how many lists you make or how many times you check everything over, you'll still end up forgetting something. So, Target will be your best friend on move in day. Bring at least two other people to help you move in.

1. Once you pack everything you WANT to bring, go back and just keep the things you NEED to bring.

You'll thank me later when your dorm isn't overflowing with useless junk.

2. If the school approved packing list says don't bring something, just don't bring it.

Trust me, you don't want to have to deal with the hefty housing fines later on.

3. You can never bring too many snacks.

You'll get sick of the dining halls a lot faster than you might think.

4. Bag up your hanging clothes.

Put 10 to 15 items together, put a trash bag on them and tie it up at the top! Easiest and hassle-free way to move your clothes.

Instead of having 20 plus containers and suitcases taking up space in your dorm.

6. Bring stackable storage bins.

If you can loft your bed, put the stackable storage bins under the bed and it will give you so much extra space.

7. Label everything.

Literally everything. It will make your move in so much easier and quicker if you know where everything is.

I've learned this from experience after my shampoo spilled all over everything on move in day... don't turn out like me.

9. Put all your jewelry in separate plastic baggies.

This will save you a headache when trying to untangle a huge tangled mess of jewelry.

10. Buy room decor with storage built in.

Storage is the biggest thing you'll need in college so utilize your space as much as you can!
