As everyone moves in the next couple of weeks or have already moved in, these are my last second tips for a successful move in day!!!
Say goodbye to everyone
I know the days leading up to move in are so hectic and it’s hard to remember that you are leaving and probably won’t be seeing the people you typically see every day as often. Just a simple text, phone call, or quick lunch date will mean the most to the people that have been involved in your life and your success.
2. Take a Deep Breath
It is so easy to get wrapped up in the moment and freak out on your parents during the move in process. But just chill. Take a breath and remember that everything is going to be okay.
3. Let Your Parents Be Weird
I saw this picture floating around on Facebook the other day. THIS COULDN’T BE MORE TRUE
4. IF YOU HAVE DOGS…. HUG THEM!!!!!!!
If you don’t… rescue one!
5. Eat at your Favorite Restaurant
If your favorite restaurant is not around the direct vicinity to your college, I highly suggest you get one last amazing meal in. The chances of you being able to eat there when you make a quick trip home are pretty slim.
6. Try to meet your roommates family
I lucked out on my college roommate experience. I have an AMAZING roommate. We went to Frog Camp Costa Rica together and were able to spend a whole week together. The day before we moved in, our families all met up for dinner. It is really helpful to break the ice before move in day. I also live three hours away from TCU and she lives in California. If you are in that situation it makes things so easy knowing that you will always have a home away from home and people that care about you a short distance away!
7. HUG THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR FAMILY!!
If you’re like me, it is very hard to leave my family. There are never enough hugs to go around. Hug them and thank them for everything because in about 6 weeks you will be wanting them so desperately.
8. Don’t forget anything!!!!!
I hope everyone has a great move in experience. It is such a stressful but exciting time. I hope your new homes are everything you hope they are!!!!
WE’RE OFFICIALLY COLLEGE STUDENTS…. GO FROGS!
