As the end of the school year approaches, packing can be both stressful and time-consuming if you do it wrong. Here are some tips on how to pack up efficiently and still get work done while you do it.

1. Plan your packing

Nothing is worse than staying up through the night packing the day before you leave school. Put together a schedule where you can pack in shifts and do work and socialize during the other times.

2. Pick the right type of movers

Do you have a lot of large items that you want to keep track of? Then, a storage unit is perfect for you.

Do you have some heavier items, but overall just a lot of boxes? Getting a moving company can be helpful.

Are you just concerned with storing boxes? Storing on campus or with a basic moving company is your best option.

3. Clean out

It's always helpful to have less to pack up, so make sure to either sell or throw away unwanted or unused items before beginning your packing.

4. Boxes

What kinds of items are you storing? If you just have basic items, regular boxes will work for you. If you have a lot of clothing, wardrobe boxes are great for hanging clothes in to store. If you have a lot of clear containers, then sealing and labeling them can be the best option.

5. Make a list

Make sure to number and make a list of all your boxes, so when you get them at your next location, you can assure that you have everything you started with!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
