In exactly one week, I will be living in my new place in New York, nervously picking out an outfit that says, "smart but cool" for my first day of work. But until then, I have to finish my last few days of the pathetic summer job I'm working, and pack up all my stuff. So tonight, I'm starting to pack some stuff in preparation for my move to New York.
I've moved every 6 months between school and interning for the last four years...thats a lot of loading and unloading (I guess you could call me an expert)! I always pack way too much stuff, but I've realized that the more comforting things you have from home, the easier it is to adjust to a new environment...even if that means lugging around something you refer to as "baby pillow." Its also a good idea to buy things like paper towels, food, or toilet paper once you get to where you're going instead of having it take up space in the car (I own boxes and boxes of sneakers, I need all the space I can get!). I usually make a list of these types of things so that I only have to make this shopping trip once. Instead of stressing out and packing everything a day or two before, pack the things you won't need to use until you get there a few days in advance.
With a week to go, I already have a pile of suitcases packed and ready for my adventure in New York.
