Moving to college is an interesting time in life. Who knew you could be so nervous and excited at the same time. You hear stories all the time about the craziness of moving in and all the excitement it brings. This is the beginning of a brand new adventure. But first, you have to get all of your totes out of the car and try to fit things in everything nook and cranny. If you are doing move in weekend right, you'll find these to be true:

1. You will cry.

This will happen more than once...more than twice...and probably more than three times. Just tell yourself to get through it. You can do it!

2. You will feel out of place.

Welcome to diversity! You will most likely not know more than a hand full of people. Everyone is strangers. Introduce yourself and start a conversation.

3. You will decorate the shit out of your room.

This is the best part. Make it your own!

4. You will forget something.

Whether it's a remote to the TV or your toothbrush...you just never know.

5. You will walk a lot.

This is a fact. Make sure to wear your FitBit. That is all.

6. You will get homesick.

You'll actually miss your parents, siblings, pets, and your bed.

7. You will meet a lot of people.

You may not like them all and that is okay. Find people with the same interests as you.

8. You will want to take a nap.

Just let it happen. You're in college now, you deserve this.

9. You will get a lot of free stuff.

Keep it all. You are now poor, congrats.

10. You will be stressed out.

11. You will want a lanyard.

You'll take your key card and student ID everywhere. Invest in one of these.

12. You will want to wear tennis shoes.

Please see number 5.

Take a deep breath and eat some chocolate. Don't kill anyone, it's not worth it.

14. You will think you do not have enough space.

You really don't, but everything will fit and you will get used to it!

15. You will go to a lot of events.

Find some organizations or clubs you'd like to join. This will help your nerves and you'll make some new friends.

16. You will want to leave your door open.

People will stop in, say hi, and compliment your decorations. People rock.

17. You will want to reapply deodorant.

Seriously, you will sweat!

18. You will want a fan.

It gets hot and stuffy, a fan will come in handy.

It will be hectic, but this is the beginning of a new adventure. Embrace the awkward. I promise you aren't the only one.
