Move in Day!

28. August 2008 by Sarah.

So this morning the alarm went off at 5:15am, I hit the snooze and physically got out of bed at 5:30am. That left me about twenty minutes to wash my face, eat something, get dressed and throw my hair in a pony tail. Not to mention that it was raining outside.

It was 6:30am when the first student arrived, then some more, one from CA even! Basically, what the student leaders do when the car arrives is scream and clap “Welcome” to the freshman. Personally I loved it when it was done to me, but some of them think we are WAY to perky for that hour of the morning and some just eat it up, especially the parents. Moving to college is a very exciting time in a persons’ life, totally different from just moving to an apartment to something like that. You are moving in with a whole new family, these are the people that you will see ALL THE TIME and you come to rely on them for everything.

After we have shocked them with a welcome we swarm their car and start taking everything out and putting it in their room for them. (Silently thinking the whole time, this is the only time you will ever get help unpacking all of this crap). Some of stuff that the girls bring is just crazy. I had to pick and choose what went to school from my room, not that much. The majority of items that were unpacked this time 3 years ago were bought in PA before my drive down here. But some of them must bring the entire room and then some.

It was great memories, which I actually got the chance to talk about when I was interviewed by the local paper today, and had several pictures taken on numerous occasions. It was also nice to see most of the student leaders out there pumped up and excited in our little ponchos since it did drizzle  us literally all day long!

I only wish that I could be there when my little sister moves in to her dorm in a few weeks. I am sure many the picture will be taken!
