When you are moving out for the first time, packing can be a stressful and confusing process. What should you take? What should you leave behind? What will you need? What don't you need? Why is this so complicated!? Don't stress. It's not as big of a deal as you think. Just follow these few tips and enjoy your move!
Financially you are motivated to get something out of the class, but intellectually you are struggling to be invested. While you can't change the professor the participants in the class, here are some tips to help you get the most out of class.
First, check ahead to see what will be provided for you. Especially if you are moving into the dorms, a lot of necessities will already be taken care of for you. Most dorms and apartments come with mattress pads, microwaves, vacuums, and sometimes even shower curtains. A select few even come with toasters, coffee makers, cleaning supplies, TV/DVD players, and extra storage space. Call ahead and see what will be provided so you don't waste money and space packing things you don't need.
Communicate with roommates
On the same lines as tip number one, try to contact your future roommates and see what they will be bringing. Don't go out and buy a toaster, pots and pans, silverware, a TV, and other sharable items if your roommates already have them. But make sure that if they are bringing these items that they are willing to share. There is the occasional paranoid/selfish roommate who won't let you touch their pots or pans. So coordinate with your roommates and split up buying the any needed appliances/equipment. This will save all of you a lot of money and packing space.
Buy it later
Third, consider what you can buy later and what you need to bring from home. There are a lot of smaller, less essential things that you will eventually want/need that you can buy at a later date at the local supermarket or college bookstore. Things like paper clips, tape, shampoo, notebooks, food, etc. Avoid going on huge shopping sprees before you move away.
If are having are hard time getting to class or wanting to go to class, try to befriend one person in the class, especially someone who may have some of the same ideas or troubles with the class as you do. Maybe befriend another person who finds the kid with the Florida State apparel just a ridiculous as you. Nothing creates better kindling for a friendship than a common foe. By creating one friend in the class, you will be less likely to skip or fail the class because you know someone in the class cares whether or not you show up-and they will pester you about your absence.
Follow these three simple tips and you will have everything you need to start off on a new, exciting adventure! These will save you time, money, space, and stress. Now go have fun!
