10 tips for an easy and stress-free moveout: -

Take it from me. A freshman. Who is totally 100 percent qualified to tell you how to move out of a dorm/apartment.

Let’s set the stage: It’s finals week and our dear UNC just sent out a campus wide-no reply-tight lipped-email that you have to be out of your dorm room within 24 hours after your last exam UPON PENALTY OF HONOR COURT SUMMONS.

Great.

You know what? An aggressive email is one of the last things I need, man. I’ve cried enough already this week, ya feel??

“Oh silly first-year, just send in an extended request form.”

Well…

Anyway, here are a few not-so-pro tips to help you expedite the moving process if you’re getting out quickly:

Pack a little bit at a time before you really NEED to pack. Make tiny little piles/put little things into boxes; it’ll make you feel like you have something done. Even if you really don’t have anything done…
Eat the stuff you want from your freezer, and then give away/trash the rest. Be real, if you haven’t baked those cookies from that giant tub of cookie dough that’s been in your freezer since October by now you probably won’t end up baking them. That doesn’t mean you can’t eat it with a spoon after a bad exam, though. “Lol” *cries*. Just kidding, you’ll do great, champ.

3. Remember to also get all of the food out of your fridge… that might be self explanatory. But you never know.

4. Also: if your fridge isn’t totally defrosted by the time you need to leave, put a bath towel in it to soak up the melting water and shut the door. You can deal with it when you get home.

5. When you’re packing clothes, actually folding or rolling your numerous t-shirts will save space in your bag and you’ll end up having more room to shove more stuff into it.

6. Thank the people (ie: your parents/guardians/friends) who are helping you move out. Who knows the last time you vacuumed that rug that you just rolled up, and everyone needs help. So please thank them.

7. If you’re a senior/need to get rid of stuff just post into the Free and For Sale Facebook. Like 40 times. Maybe you’ll finally sell you alligator statue if you post into that page ONE MORE TIME.

8. Better yet, if you need to get rid of something just ‘Reply All’ to every single solitary listserv that you’re on to advertise your products. People become extremely popular on Yik Yak that way.

9. Maybe you don’t even to have to move out. Stake a flag in your room and claim it as your own and that you’re really a god returned to your people — it worked for Hernan Cortés after all.

10. And if you are actually just overwhelmed and ~done~, setting fire to the whole place will end all of your troubles*. For real, you won’t have to pack anything. And you’ll never have to worry about moving stuff into or out of a living space. Because you’ll be in prison on arson charges. But on the bright side, your mixtape might finally be fire.
