After weeks of anxious waiting and post office stalking I finally got the letter…the LARGE envelope letter — you all know what that means (drumroll please) Grad School Here I Come!!!
After dancing around my apartment building, calling everyone I knew, and startling various DC residents at the local CVS while buying celebratory chocolate–(yes to those of you who may have seen me, I wasn’t insane—just very very excited!), I finally calmed down enough to think through the logistics…
My lease here in Washington DC is up May 31st… I’ll be home with my parents in Los Angeles, CA from June 10-July 22, and moving to New York City hopefully August 1st.
…I have to plan for a double bi-coastal move…
That’s when the screaming started.
The next day, I felt a bit more levelheaded and so, after a lengthy consultation with my good friends Mr. Coffee and Madame Crême Glacée, I resolved to slay the Monstrous Moving Day Miscreant!
Armed with Google and a few brown boxes, I will attempt to create a planned order impenetrable to the panicked whirlwinds of chaos.
Follow my quest through my biweekly posts here on College Candy! I’ll be reviewing various online tools and products and, at the very least, you’ll find out what not to do on your next move.

i wish you the best of luck, that sounds like absolute hell.
Leave all the non-essentials in boxes?
I know what I do is I just leave all of my clothes in the huge bags that I use to move them. I just live out of my boxes and bags for a couple of months to save me the hassle of repacking everything.
you might want to look into storage units in either DC or new york, that way you could leave a lot of your stuff on the east coast. you won’t need all your stuff at your parents house.
