When to start packing?

Hiya!
I move in next month and I was wondering when I should I start packing for college? I know not to pack the things I need daily yet, but things I won’t need until then like bedding and things like that.
And any tips for packing and for move in day?

Thanks in advance!

If you are like my kids, about 3am the night before you leave. :smiley:

@doschicos, that early? Ha.

It was so stressful seeing my son try to pack that I enlisted the help of my mother! He would listen to HER!

If you have a space, you can start collecting things there. Make a list of what you need/want to bring and tackle acquiring/assembling it. Some things, like bedding or a laptop, might take a little time to buy.

It depends on what kind of person you are - if having everything organized in advance will make you feel more relaxed, approach it that way.

My kid is more last minute.

I haven’t packed for college yet, but I imagine starting to brainstorm a list now would be helpful. That way you can add to it as you remember stuff and know what to shop for before packing up stuff you might need in the next month.

I designate a place and put things in my corner when I come across them. This helps me find things without specificallly looking and allows me to edit when I’m formally packing.
