Top 10: W&M move-in day

First I would like to clear the water and say I definitely finished the kickball domination blog on Friday so technically I have blogged since July…I know there are just so many people out there reading this so I didn’t want to disappoint…please hear the sarcasm in that remark.

With move-in a little over a week away, I figured a little advice from an experienced student would be helpful. In an attempt to make this readable, aka skim through it in 30 seconds because no one likes to read long blogs, I’m going to make a top 10 list for move-in.

Top 10: W&M move-in day

10. Have it out with your parents before you show up so you’re not the awkward kid fighting with the overbearing parent(s)

9. Go inside to get your key and RCR (room check sheet) by YOURSELF so mom/dad/whoever has to deal with parking

8. Grab some lemonade and cookies from the Wesley Foundation

7. Ask your OA for help calming down mom as she leaves her baby

6. Set up the bed first-then you can stack stuff on it-it’s the only thing you’ll absolutely need to use the first night

5. Pack hang-up clothes just on the hangers and carry them in directly to the closet

4. Lots of small trips are better than a couple of back-breaking potential face-plants into the stairs

3. If you have an A/C unit put it in the window and plug it in ASAP, even if it hasn’t been properly installed

2. Let the ‘sweatin for you’ move-in crew get the stuff out of your car-trust me you’ll be doing enough getting the stuff up to your room

1. You’ve got all year to organize and reorganize the room so chill, wait til the parentals leave, then make it the way you REALLY want it with your roomie

Above anything else HAVE FUN!!! You’re moving into college so enjoy the day, and no matter what happens you’ll be laughing about it by the end of the week!
