Freshman Move-In Day
Move-in day for college freshman is stressful, exciting, and hard work. With careful planning, it is a lot easier. My recent post, Preparing for Dorm Life is a good place to start, but here are more tips from my niece’s actual move in day. Family took these pictures with cell phones. I apologize for the quality. But, you’ll get the picture!

Organizing the Cars
Fortunately, my sister is very organized and each car is packed with similar items. If you look closely, she even had a wardrobe bar installed in her car to keep all her baby’s fashion neat and tidy.

The luggage is full of blankets, towels, curtains, toiletries and kitchen items.

In this car, she packed her brand new customized bedding, cleaning supplies and tools needed for this big day.
Having unloaded the carSSS, they are hard at work getting everything unpacked and set up.




Decorating a Dorm
My sister loves to decorate and the two of them did a great job with the bedding. She purchased the comforter and sham, and then had pillows and bedskirt made to coordinate. Sheer draperies accent.
My niece moved into her dorm. They made the bed and hung the curtains. She put her clothes away.

The tissue box is handy. This is likely the end of every freshman move-in day.
