Moving House

I want to move out of home, because of various reasons. However, i am terrified! I will just have turned 19 when i want to go to uni. So what is it like? Is it really as bad as it seems? (As in the whole uni life and moving and money issues etc) Personal experiences would be great, and what type of things could be recommended? Thanks.

Don’t be terrified! I remember that when I first moved in six months ago, I was absolutely petrified of moving away from home and into unfamiliar territory. Sure, I’m only 2 hours away from home but that didn’t enter my mind. Every university is different and what we experience at each university is unique and different.

The week of move-in, I was a bundle of nerves and uncertain of how I was going to survive on my own. Move in was a bit hectic but the upperclassmen really helped and within hours my parents left and I was left to my own devices. I was actually lost for 2 hours, trying to get back to my room after eating!

Unlike some of the universities in the US, mine is modeled after the Cambridge model, where students are divided into different colleges. Within this colleges, students were housed in different halls, with each floor having about 5-6 suites, with around 8 students in each suite. I was lucky enough to get a single, so whenever I needed alone time, I could get it. Others weren’t that lucky but they had roommates while I’m all on my lonesome self. I really love my suite setup, because I’ve gotten to know my suitemates really well.

College life is how you make it. I really suggest you check out some of the organizations at your school to find out what clubs and activities interest you. You can make so many friends in those and it gives you an opportunity to participate at school! Don’t be shy, believe it or not, there’s so many people out there who share the same interests as you.

What really helped me with the transition to uni, was collections of photos with my family and friends in my room. It really helps me when I’m feeling lonely or sad. Don’t forget to phone the parents and friends!

For move-in, unless you live very far away from home, DO NOT bring your entire closet. you will go shopping and in the end, you won’t have enough hangers or space for them. Do bring snacks and food because college food does get tiring after a while and it’s good to have a healthy nutritious snack to counter the negative effects of the fast food. I have spent quite a lot of money in college, mostly on books, but I have financial aid so I’m set. my school has a system where you use a card to pay for your food so I haven’t really spent my own money per se on food. Just make sure you have limits on what you spend because you’ll definitely find yourself eyeing a couple of things when you go out with friends.

The first few nights are the hardest because you’re in unfamiliar territory but after that, you’ll feel more comfortable at school than at home! Make some new friends and experience all that college has to offer and you’ll love it!

Also have quarters for laundry.

I am moving to California in February, and I currently have a Maryland Provisional license.
I am 20yo, so when I go to exchange my Maryland license for a California license will I have to take a computer test or driving test?

Hello!
I turned 18 in August and I was just planning on moving to New York City with a friend who already lives there. Right now I am enrolled into business college in Toronto (first year) but I’ve been thinking about becoming an Italian teacher since it is my second language.
How would I go about becoming one in New York City? Should I drop college here in Toronto and start off in NY? Thank you very much for your help.

To teach in NYC you’ll need a bachelor’s degree in Italian, with 12 credits in education. Within 5 years you will need to finish your Master’s degree. It takes 23 years to reach top pay. With a Masters plus 30 above.

Why would you limit yourself to Italian? How many schools still offer Italian in NYC? Not many. Take a BA in SPANISH. Inner-city kids take Spanish, Every school offers Spanish. Then again why would anyone want to teach in NYC?

- teacher in NYC for 35 long, painful years.

I’m planning to move in with best friend. Were both girls. Her boyfriend is also moving in with us. Were planning to rent a apartment next year when we get out of high school. My mom thinks it’s a bad idea because she thinks it’ll ruin our friend ship. WHY?

Try it and find out. If you listen to all the cliches you’ll never do anything!
Holidays can often ruin friendships too but people do that all the time! Have you been away together before? Because if you can’t handle that there’s no way!

So, it isn’t finalized, but my mom got a job offer. In order to work there, we’d need to move from New Hampshire to Wisconsin. I’m excited about the job offer, but she says that she may not take it because she wants me to stay in the same high school for the remaining three years. I personally really don’t think that it matters. She says that it is a life changing experience to move like this. Could someone explain to me what she means? I understand that we’d be moving somewhere else, but I could make new friends. I adjust quickly.

It sounds to me like your mom might be a little uncertain about moving maybe because of a few of her own uncertainties about possibly many different things. Don’t feel like you are the entire reason she may not want to move. It is a big step and she is wise to think it out carefully, but it sounds like you are somewhat ready for the adventure.

Hi, I recently began trying to dance with a locking/robotic style, but I find it hard to keep certain joints still while moving others. (When I move my elbow joint to move my forearm, my arm (bit between elbow and shoulder) is moving slightly). How can I reduce/stop this?

Think muscles rather than joints – and drill.

Film yourself or watch in a mirror.

I am planning on moving out of state. I’m currently in georgia and I’m moving to texas. My parents don’t want me to move that far. I understand. I love them I just don’t want to leave on a bad note. I want to keep a good relationship with them I am 21 years old. I will be moving with my boyfriend who will be my husband soon. So any tips? I love my rents. Don’t think I don’t. I just want to fly.

You sound like a wonderful daughter.

I think that if you sit down with your parents and tell them that this is what you want for yourself, they will understand. It’s good that you don’t want to leave on a bad note; your parents are your parents and they dedicated their life to raise you and I think they deserve respect. Your parents will understand that this is your life and your decisions. Just sit, have a heart to heart and explain what you want to them, that you want to start a life together with your soon to be husband and that you love them and will keep in touch.

I found a moving image on my friends tumblr and i would like to know how to save it on my images on my computer, with the image still moving. Every time i try to save it, it makes it just a picture, not moving. Thank you.

Hi guys,

from your friends tumblr, right click on the gif image and select Save Image As (or something similar – depending on your browser). Save it somewhere you can find it on your computer.

Hope this information might helps.

I am planning a move in May with my family from New York to Arizona. I am well aware of the moving scams and rogue Operators in the Moving industry. I am not interested in having a disastrous move, like so many others have. Im interested in finding the Best Moving Companies in New York, does anyone know where i can find them?

A good start would be visiting the MovingGuardian.org website. The site is a public service organization that offers businesses and consumers free tools and resources needed to ensure a safe, transparent and cost effective relocation,. The features I liked most is the " America’s Best Movers" database which only features the highest rated moving companies with the Better Business Bureau. The site also offers a great moving reviews system where consumers can rate moving companies and share those reviews through the site’s Facebook application, which is really cool.

I want to move pretty soon but I dont know where. Are there any sites that will help me find out if the job market is stable wherever I decide to go? Also I plan on moving on a tight budget to a cheap place. I want to get a job and go to school. I’ve always wanted to try big city living but I honestly don’t know what to expect. Any advice on moving? Roomates? Small Town, Big City?

San Diego California, I have heard the Schools are great there and you can go on the weekend to LA and Orange county. To rent is bit too much but with roommate you should be fine i guess,
