What to Expect on Moving Day

 

If your school’s move-in day is anything like mine was, expect pure chaos. As hard as they try and as many posters as they hang, moving in a few thousand students in a day or two gets crazy. 

But that’s ok because if you’re reading this, you’re already mentally preparing for it. How to beat the crazy:

How to Dress for an Interview

 

College students may not think they’ll need a suit until graduation arrives but it definitely doesn’t hurt to have one ready to go.

Clubs, professional organizations, leadership positions—anything you may want to join—probably expects you to show up looking like you know how to present yourself.

Remember Ladies: Facebook is Forever

 

College is a time self-discovery, learning, and occasionally making questionable Facebook post choices. 

 

This is a friendly reminder that ANYONE can access ANYTHING that has EVER been on your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google Plus, Pinterest, MySpace, Bebo, Friendster…you get the picture. Employers are looking more and more into what people post on social networking sites because these people are going to represent the company. 

 

College is an exciting time to pursue what your passion about or sometimes it is where you figure it out.  Regardless you want to do it in fourish years so you are not a lifetime student.  College is expensive.

Thinking about what you want to do with the rest of your life is a little bit intimidating. Or a lot bit.  But knowing what path you want to follow sooner rather than later is a huge advantage. 

10 Tips for Move-In Day

 

10. Dress for the occasion. It’s going to be a hot summer day when you move in so wear something that can get gross. You can pretty yourself up for the first night later.

 

9. Get as much packing done before the day you leave as possible. Waiting until the last minute is never a good idea. 

 

8. Make sure you and your roommate have gone over what each is bringing. Then you won’t have to make an ironing board fit in your car when you didn’t need it.

 

Classes are looming around the corner.  This mean only one thing...it's moving time!
