So, you're new room is finally starting to feel like home. You've moved past the stage where your living in a room of boxes and past the stage where you attempt to keep your newly decorated room insanely neat. You've finally gotten to that homey, lived-in feel. This means that the memories of move in day are starting to fade. Well, never fear, the cast of friends is here to help you relive each and every moment.
1. The trip
The car ride to campus is always emotional. The anticipation is killer. You're excited to move in and nervous to leave home. Basically, you're a whole ball of emotional chaos.
2. The arrival
You arrive and find your home for the next 9 months. At this point, the excitement level and energy is still high.
3. The move in
The difficulty of trying to carry a mini fridge, a microwave, chairs, drawers etc. amidst the hundreds of other people moving in, just asks for someone to use Ross's well known line.
4. Successfully fitting everything into your dorm
One word...Victory
5. The goodbye
Saying goodbye to your family is always bittersweet. Living without them for the first time is the start of a new, exciting chapter in your life.
6. Realizing how much there is to unpack
You know you should get off to a good start and unpack everything, but let's be real, it's not going to happen.
7. Avoiding unpacking
Because playing with the boxes is way more fun than sorting through everything inside of them.
8. Asking your family and friends for help
Trying to convince your family and friends to do all the work so you don't have to; let's just say that they're usually less then willing.
9. Finally getting motivated
You finally get sick of constantly tripping over things and having to root through box after box to find what you need, so you spend a solid 6 hours unpacking and organizing.
10. The finish
You've finally gotten everything unpacked and organized. (Well, except for those few decorations you swear you'll hang up later, but let's be honest you never will.) Now, it's time to kick up your feet and relax while you still can.
