Back to School 2012- Tips for Packing for College

While running my Sunday errands in Target yesterday I spotted several parents and freshmen combing the aisles for dorm room essentials. Everyone looked confused and overwhelmed! As a student you're probably thinking “I’m going to be living at school for 9 months out of the year so I must pack all of my life’s possessions.” It’s easy to just pack everything you’ve got but trust me, that is NOT necessary. It can be tough knowing what to pack and how much to bring. So I’m here to help. Click the link below for some rules to remember when organizing yourself to pack for college.

Back to School 2011- Brand New Roommates 101

Chances are you’ve gotten your room assignments and just in case you’re not sure whether or not you should reach out to your new roomies, I am here to help.  College roommates are almost always an unavoidable part of college life.  Living with a stranger can be equal parts excitement and terror.  You may be thinking what if they’re corny or what if they snore. What if their feet stink or what if the two of you don't have anything in common. These concerns are valid and quite common among most freshmen.  I’m here to help you gather yourself to  break the ice with your new roommate.  I believe that all students should reach out to their new roommates prior to move in day.  So get into the post and then hop to it! Don't miss the bus  :-)
