Moving season is officially upon us here in East Lansing and as any responsible blogger would do, I've come up with some tips to help ease the pain of your move.

1.  Throw Shit Away

Remember when you and all three of your other roommates bought waffle makers on accident but everyone felt bad so no one mentioned it and now you have a cabinet full of them?  Get rid of them.  Hate to throw away the huge wall of fifths you and your friends collected over the summer?  Throw them away.  Don't act like you won't have more in a week.  You drunk.

2.  Wait until you've unpack your condoms to start drinking.

Nothing says mood killer like rummaging through boxes to find a rubber...except maybe refering to condoms as rubbers. 

3.  Bring your mom

Once you get past the initial embarrassment of having your mom unpack your stuff, you'll realize why she was a mom in the first place.  Because moms rock and putting stuff away. 

4.  Do the stuff you want to do now.

As I moved out of my old house I found boxes of shit I had originally intended to hang up but never did.  Move in day is the first and only day you will be productive all year.  Get it done.

5.  Turn off your phone.

to avoid...
"Hello?  Oh...uh...sure man.  No we're mostly done I guess I can come help you move in.  You're on the 6th floor?  Oh yeah thats no problem."   
P.S.  The beer they promised you for helping...never comes.

Follow these tips and you should have a great move!
