A moving checklist is a necessity for everyone. Many college students are juggling classes and work schedules while planning a move which can become overwhelming. To start, it’s an all-in-one place to organize your move while making sure primary and secondary belongings are accounted for. Plus, moving checklists are a great fail-safe for avoiding multiple trips to a store to buy things you forgot or didn’t realize you wanted to bring.
Each room in the apartments for rent in Gainesville, FL, serve a different purpose and need different items as a result. Here’s a quick checklist to help you start planning and packing. But, it’s easy to create your own by looking at the room-by-room items you already have or would like to use.
It’s exciting to think about moving into any of the apartments or townhomes for rent in Gainesville, FL, as a student. And even if you’re following our packing checklist, here are five must-haves that are often overlooked while moving.
Sometimes, the light cast by overhead lights begins to look harsh rather than a homey and welcoming glow. A desk or side table lamp is a small but functional alternative to overhead lighting in both bedrooms and living areas, which can cut down on glare while using electronics.
Apartment windows usually have blinds or coverings but few have curtains. If you prefer to sleep in a truly dark bedroom, remember to pack window curtains or blackout curtains. Curtains are also a good way to reduce incoming solar heat to lower monthly cooling costs.
Kleenex and toilet paper seem like items nobody could forget but they’re forgotten in many, many moves. An easy way to avoid this common faux pas is to put several boxes and rolls in your first-night box (keep reading for what to pack in your first-night box).
Many people think a shower liner will suffice but quickly realize they’d appreciate the extra layer of privacy a shower curtain provides. Plus, a shower curtain is an easy way to show off your personality while decorating another part of the apartment.
The current mattress might feel alright but a mattress pad can take it to the next level. Mattress pads come in a variety of materials and styles that can provide body contouring, temperature control, and more. Once you find a mattress pad that works for your needs, you can look forward to many restful nights.
