Move in Day as Told by Friends
Digital Spy

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
