College move-in day is an absolute shit-show that gets easier as college goes on. It always involves crowded parking lots, a ton of fuzzy rugs and bungee chairs being carried around the quad and emotional parents trying to stick with their kids as long as possible.
You’ve probably seen my 10 Things to Do The First Week of College post, but now we take a few steps back and look at these college move in day tips. This’ll make it a little bit less of a mess, I promise.

When it comes to getting ready in the morning, you’ll want to optimize your time by applying the makeup products that’ll make the most impact and make you look most awake. The areas I’ve found make the biggest difference when all made up are: eyebrows, eyelashes and complexion.
Secondarily, I’ve found that lips and cheeks can also make a huge difference if you’ve got a few extra seconds.

This quick and easy wear to class makeup look will let you sleep late & look great when you head to class. Yay!
Joining clubs in college is fundamental to getting the entire college experience. I’ve been a member of many clubs, quit a lot of those same clubs, move up the ranks within some and even re-joined others. To sum it all up–joining clubs in college isn’t always that simple.

These tips and suggestions will help you find clubs you love and thrive within them!

Your laptop is what you’re going to be doing all of your work and play on throughout the semester. With this being said, it’s important to make sure you get an affordable yet fantastic computer. There are also a lot of ways to use this computer to personalize and organize your life while staying connected. So here’s the guide to buying a computer, using your computer, keeping it safe, keeping your life organized and making it extra personalized.
