What Do You Need To Do Before You Move Out?

If you are dreaming about moving out of your old home to a new one, you came to the right place because Matco Moving Solutions has all the answers for you.

There are a few simple ways to make your moving process much easier.

To begin with, you need to be more organized. Here's what experts recommend:

  • Preparations for the move should begin at least one month before the day of the moving.
  • Do not start the whole process and rely only on friends and relatives, no matter how much they "voluntarily" offer to help you. It's too much work without professionals and you don't want to make a mess.
  • Moving out should be considered as a great opportunity to get rid of everything you do not need (old furniture, old clothes, whatever you did not need a minimum of 2 years and is located in the house, broken toys, all those little things that you have over the years received as gifts, and you do not like them).

Therefore, throw, throw and throw!

To make sure everything goes smoothly you need to make some important preparations such as:

  • As soon as you decide to start moving you need to buy some boxes, but if you hire a professional moving company you won't have to worry about that. These boxes and packing bags for your clothes can be purchased from every medium sized store.
  • Buy at least 20 pieces of wide brown sticky tape, a width of 5-7 cm (this is not an ordinary tape).
  • Gather all the materials you will need (newspapers, scissors, cloth, cardboard, sponges, vacuum foil,etc.).
  • Put an adhesive tape on the bottom of each box.
  • Put the plates in plastic bags and put a piece of newspaper between each plate.
  • Pack the electronic devices in the original box (if possible).
  • Make a secure copy (back up) all the important data from the hard disk.
  • Do not put too many things in the boxes.
  • Put numbers on the boxes, each in a different color, in order to determine in which room, you need to put each of the boxes (e.g.: living room-black, kitchen-red, bedroom-green, cabinet-blue, etc.).
  • Prepare the things you will need in the first few days and keep them handy such as personal documents (passport, identity card, birth certificate, workbook.)
  • Make a plan about the furniture in the new home. Draw a sketch of the schedule so that the furniture is entered immediately in the corresponding room.
  • Provide space for parking the truck in front of the object and inform the neighbors about the moving.
  • Identify any damage to your furniture and take the necessary measures to prevent further damage.

These are some of the most important things you need to consider before you start with the moving process. It is important to be prepared if you want everything to be in its own order.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
