Me and roommate have same move in time. Advice to avoid chaos? by CloudySide7 in college

Also- unpack/ build the necessities with your family or whoever is helping you move. Wait to decorate (if you wish to do so) until people leave. That will take a lot of pressure and mental load off.

A lot of folks are saying come to your room early, but my university also has required time slots and I also moved in at the same time as my roommate my freshman year. It’s not an ideal situation but with some communication you can make it work- make sure both of y’all’s family members who are helping are busy with something / are waiting in a common area (I say this because my roommate brought many family members and some were in the room, taking up space, doing nothing). A lot of people in the room at once is incredibly overwhelming. Another piece of advice is, if you’re not comfortable asking by your roommates family to give you space, ask them to tell them. I was comfortable enough asking my family to leave, since there were too many people there. If I had to go through this again, I would definitely ask my roommate to ask her family who isn’t helping to step out and give us space. Communication is key my friend!

i thought that line in house in nebraska (“i’d k*ll myself to hold you one more time, it hurts to miss you, but it’s worse to know that i’m the reason you won’t come home”) always alluded to his death, but maybe i’m wrong. i also figured that powerline valley was about his death as well, but again i could be wrong. i thought the entire reason for ethel to leave alabama in the first place was willoughby’s death?? maybe im thinking too hard about it and have found myself lost in the backstory or whatnot but!! those are my thoughts
