Tips for Freshman: Moving In Edition

So yesterday I talked about packing and today is all about moving in.

TIP ONE: Wear comfortable clothes.

Because you're going to get all hot and sweaty.  I mean it.  Especially if you are living in Armstrong this year.  Armstrong has no elevators so if you are living on the fifth floor, well, you'll be taking a few stairs.  Luckily, there are nice upperclassmen who are helping with move-in and would love to take up your belongings.  And once your stuff is in your room, it will need to be rearranged so if you're in something comfy, moving in won't be too bad.
TIP TWO: A hand truck dolly is a helpful thing.
My dad brought one of these lovely things to both move me in and out and it worked wonders!  You can move so many more things into your room!

TIP THREE: Take your time moving in and have a good time.
Moving in is a big deal.  Seriously.  So have fun, let your parents help you, and try to enjoy yourself.  Make that empty room look amazing.  Try moving things around, stacking your beds if you can (remember you gain a lot of space with bunked beds!) and testing everything so you know it works.  

Orientation tips tomorrow!  :)
