Moving places isn't easy. Besides the obvious packing up your entire life, the mental stress of going through everything you own and deciding if it's worth keeping is the worst. Why am I up until 2 AM reading my middle school diary when I should be making sure my glassware is wrapped in bubble wrap? Who knows. That's the power of nostalgia, folks.

If you grew up moving from place to place, you might be used to moving already. It's a matter of actually checking things off of your to-do list. Seems simple, right? Well, I've never moved my entire life to a new place, and I'm about to this week. Have I started packing? No. That's a night-before issue. Don't judge. The mental anguish is mine and mine alone!

Settling into a new place is hard when you can't figure out how to set up the wifi router and your new neighbors keep stumbling in to introduce themselves. How do you let someone know you're an introvert without really telling them? Beats me. Anywho, I should probably start packing and if you're moving soon, you should too! But not before you scroll these moving memes—it's nice to laugh at our pain.

Listen, I used to be a quad-shot twice a day person when it came to coffee. Something switched, and now I can barely tolerate half-caf beverages. However, desperate times call for desperate measures… Caffeine is the key to being productive when you're a chronic procrastinator.
Once you've decided to start packing, give yourself five business days before the actual day. You can mentally prepare and start making boxes of stuff in your head before the time comes. Then, when the day comes, push it off for one more day just to make sure. Then, when you think there's no time left, begin. It's the perfect storm. Don't forget to complain to anyone who will listen that you're sooooo stressed about moving!
If I don't got me, I know Redbull and a dream got me.
