I got me a new apartment

T4CT

And I am currently packing and it's a chore but it's the last of the packing because I move in tomorrow

But I get to move in with my friend which is cool after living in townhouse with my cousin

But it's Canada and it's snowing and will probably be snowing tomorrow and moving in snow is gross

Talk about moving or giving me tips on good ways to unpack or pack or how to decide what I should just throw out or just talk about boxes here

I'm nervous

Rolo

don't ever move ever

Good luck moving - it's a chore! I am definitely going to be hiring professionals.

Pack - use clothes around delicate objects, that way the boxes aren't too heavy and you don't have to use much bubble wrap.

How far are you moving?

Put cardboard around the corners of your furniture/photo frames.

Unpacking - get everything clean FIRST, even if the place is already clean it might've grown dusty in the meantime. Then unpack.

Rolo

set up your computer and internet first

in fact call for internet in advance if you can

get it set up as quickly as possible

and get teksavvy if you can

sell / burn all your belongings before moving

obtain new ones as need demands

Also moving sucks and any future moves I make will have me hiring pro movers because I have decided to never help anyone else move ever, so I expect the same.

The key to any move is to throw out stuff while you're packing and then when you're unpacking throw away more stuff you didn't realize was useless before the move.

Also have less stuff in general.

Ubik

she don't believe in shootin' stars,
but she believes in shoes and cars
wood floors in the new apartment,
couture from the store's department

Sara Lynn

Each time I've moved I've had more things.

Pennsylvania -> Atlanta = 2 suitcases and maybe 2 shipped boxes down
Stale's Apt -> Hellish Roommate Apt = one load up of Annie's car
Hellish Roommate -> Current Apt = multiple load ups of Annie's car

When we have to move from here.. I've accumulated so much more furniture and it's going to be super annoying

APARTMENT THREAD

EVERYONE POST PICTURES OF YOUR PLACE AND THE SHITTY STUFF YOU KEEP IN YOUR PLACE

DO IT DO IT DO IT I'M FEELING VOYEURISTIC

Dichotomy

seriously the key to stress-free moves is just to walk into that place with the clothes on your back and nothing else

Sara Lynn

I'm cleaning today so I could totally take pics of my apartment without being embarassed

Moving suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

Usagi

Moving couches is the worst thing

Jasconius

I just got a notice that my rent is being raised on my already overpriced apartment.

I don't want to move but... ugh.

i've already accumulated a bunch of crap i didn't bring with me, moving back internationally is gonna be a pain

I moved once
and it was terrible

Hullis

How is your roomie? Tell us about their hallmark cards.

Inkyblots

I moved probably 7 or 8 times during middle and high school and a little after. Never any movers, never any fun.

Janson

I have moved 13 times in the past 11 years it is

uuugh

Henroid

Moving can lead to disaster. This one time, I moved to Texas, and I'm still here.

Usagi

I'm hiring movers the next time

Because fuck that

Larlar

Moving is fine until you stop being a student and start owning furniture. Then it's a fucking nightmare from beyond the stars, made of everything they don't put into Snapple.

Janson

Last time we moved we did have a couch, that was bad enough. Now we've acquired a heavy-ass dining table too, so professionals are most definitely called for.

Don't bitch, Janson. You brought it on yourself when you guys decided to murder that hitchhiker. News flash: being on the run forever sucks!

I am a student who owns furniture

To answer your question Rolo I live in Calgary so I am moving to a different area in Calgary

I will take fantastic pictures of my room as it goes right now so you can see things

Kochikens

I hate moving so much

its okay when I have people to help
but still the fucking worst thing ever

Larlar

That's why I'll never be a nomad. I can't get very far with a king-sized pillow top mattress.
