Heather took that picture of me, while she was helping me pack clothes. haha. goodbye old room!
So- I'm officially 'moved in' to my teeny tiny student halls room. My mum and dad helped me get everything inside and they stayed for dinner;
haha. i love my plates so much! since then, I've been slowly unpacking boxes and adding my touches to this pretty drab place...
as you can tell, I'm really ready for fall. [:
I'll share a good before/after picture when it's all done- but I hope you enjoy these little details in the meantime.
Do you have any stories of your first solo move? Any tips? Spill it sister!

i never did the uni thing. The first time i moved out of home was to work for a summer in Greece. i lived with 2 other girls in a room above a mini market in a marina. My boyfriend at the time lived on one of the yachts so we would often gather on it and play cards or my friend Alex would play the guitar for us. How i miss those magical summer evenings! Have fun on your new adventure!

I've moved way too many times in the last couple of years (in and out of dorms, like clockwork) and haven't quite gotten the hang of it. My biggest recommendation is to unpack everything, right away! I never do, and still have 2 boxes of art supplies on my floor (I moved 2 weeks ago!)
My first year of college, one of my resident advisors kept teasing me about how artistic my room should look and all ('cause I was an art student) so I put up a bunch of photos. Just 4x6's, but it was nice to have some friendly images smiling back at me.
Have a good semester! I hope you like college SO much! (i know i do XD )

I just moved.
Things are looking brighter now.
The future holds so many wonders.
Let's not forget each other.

weeeee! So much fun. Seriously. Moving into college was the most exciting time of my life.
P.S. we talked about you last weekend and wished you could have come to Chicago. :)
