Today I packed up my family's SUV with more stuff than I probably need and made my way to UMass Amherst! The day did not go as planned, especially since me and my roommate moved in at the exact same time, but it was an amazing experience none the less. Since the elevators get jammed when everyone's trying to move in at the same time, I had to move all of my stuff to the second floor by hand. It wasn't that hard for me (thanks to some good pack: click here for some tips), but I want to make an addition to my Tips for Packing post

Tomorrow I will be moving into my first college dorm room, so this past week has been nothing but packing. Throughout my week long excursion I've developed a set of techniques to ensure that no matter how much stuff you want to bring (cause let's be honest, we girls like to pack... a lot,) it will all fit in your car.
