Every college student deals with moving into their dorm if they are staying on campus. But what no one tells you is how hectic the whole moving in situation really is.
Unloading cars is the craziest part. You put everything on the curb and move your car so the next people can pull up to empty their cars. Then you bring everything to your room which is more than likely going to be on an upper floor. Bringing in your things is crazy because everyone is trying to do everything all at once. Everyone is in everyone's way and you become impatient, hot and sweaty. You can either wait for the elevator, which is massively slow from all the people using it, or you can carry your 59-pound items up three flights of stairs.
After the things are up and in your room is when you can finally breathe and relax. Personally, however, I find unpacking and decorating the room the hardest part of the move in process. It takes time and patience and creativity. All of which I lack whenever I'm wore out from bringing up box after box to the third floor.
On the plus side, everyone helping us move in is incredibly kind and helpful. They are more than willing to lend a hand and help you move in and that makes a world of difference.
Once you've officially moved in, decorated and made your room your new home, the realization finally hits you that this is it. This is you moving out and becoming an adult. It's the beginning of your life and it's all up to you from here.
Having a good move in experience is important to have a positive and happy first day and college experience.
You start your own destiny today, so make it count.
