What To Do With Your College Belongings Over The Summer

1. Haul it all back home

The most obvious and annoying way to deal with your belonging. If you are like me freshman year you have to wait for your parents to drive down to back up the car once again where you will realize everything you brought down will not fit back in the car. Or you are packing up your own car with maybe your roommates' help? Maybe four trips to the car could turn into two.

2. Storage Units

If you haven't noticed, McFarland is full of different storage unit facilities, which are waiting for May when all the students will be looking for a place for their belonging. This is a great option as long as you have a good budget for the monthly fee and early cancellation if they don't just have a summer contract you can sign for.

3. Local Relatives or Family Friend

Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones for an out of state student and have someone you are close to and will allow you to take over their garage or attic for the summer so you don't have to pay the fees that come with storage units or being cramped in a car for several hours.

4. Dorm Room Movers

This has been my go-to service since sophomore year when I was packing all my belongings up as I was moving out of my first apartment and to another in August. To begin you pay a fee which will provide you with five cardboard boxes and some packing tape to get you started which you can load up and then on the date you decide on movers from their company will come to you and pick up all your belonging and come August they will bring it back to your place of living. Or if it's your last year they will ship it home from you. The best part is all you have to after they pick up your belonging is pay per the box according to the size of it and that's all. No more worry.

Hope this helps you see all your decisions and make the best one for you and your budget

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
