Whatever reason it is that you are moving, whether by choice or because you need to, it can be quite stressful. I think that one of the most important lessons that you will learn at college is how to move. I switched my major twice, so I ended up being in college for six and a half years. That equals a grand total of seven times I moved, nine if you count moving back home for one summer and moving back home after I graduated. That is a lot of moving practice. I learned that for me, it was helpful to create a moving list. Creating a moving list over a week or so leading up to the big move made it easier for me to clearly see the tasks ahead of me. I would continually add tasks to the list as I thought of them, and of course cross them out as I went. A lot of time my moving list would even include chores that would help to facilitate the move. Chores such as laundry, dishes, and sweeping and mopping would be on my moving list. Really, how can you pack up dishes if they are dirty? Doing the dishes is something that should and must be on your moving list. Your moving list can also help greatly with the unpacking. To most, the unpacking is more difficult then moving and packing up. But if you take time, usually for me a week or so before the move, to make a clear and concise moving list, the unpacking should be a much smoother process. Your moving list could include what is to be packed up with what, so that things that should stay together do. Also, a moving list could include different item groups so that you finish one before going to the next. For example, your moving list could have all of your pictures and wall decor being packed up first before doing something else. I strongly recommend creating and using a moving list to help in the sometimes difficult process.
