Hey Sunny Siders, if you hadn’t noticed already I’ve been a tad MIA the past two weeks. That’s because I’ve been in the process of moving to a new condo!
This wasn’t a spontaneous thing, but it’s been in the works since December! However, this is my first real move (beyond going to a college dorm or my first condo when I had virtually nothing). Let me tell you, I seriously underestimated how much of a challenge moving can be. I spent a good month putting away belongings in boxes, as well as making trips to the new place. I definitely feel like I might be a “master packer” after all the stuff I managed to get into the boxes!
Just this week I officially moved to my new place. It was a very new experience having movers come in and take all my belongings out of the place I’ve called home for the past 3 years. The moving process was STRESSFUL, and I still am not completely moved in. By this I mean that I am not fully organized and there are boxes sprawled out all over the new place.
Thankfully, my dad was able to come down and help with the process. I don’t think I could have done it without all of his help managing, cleaning, organizing, unboxing, unloading, and so much more. The process has been going so much faster thanks to all of his help. We are slowly but surely getting the place fixed up and ready to call my new home. I am most excited to finalize my bedroom because it’s super cute!
I’m not gonna lie, we were tearing up as we cleared out of the old place. That condo held so many special memories that my family and I will cherish forever, and while it’s bittersweet leaving I cannot wait for the countless memories we will make at the new place. I am so excited to be living with both my boyfriend and my brother come this summer. I think it’s going to be so nice having family around and people that I love here with me. Plus, my parents will have all the more reason to come visit with both of their kids here!
The last thing I wanted to mention was how proud of myself I was for keeping it together. On top of the move, it was my final exam week for majority of my courses which was not an easy thing to balance. Old me would have been breaking down, unable to handle it all. But this new version of myself has been really good about taking deep breaths, staying positive, and taking it one task at a time. I’ve come to realize how there are some things that are beyond my control and not worth my stress. Don’t get me wrong the move was stressful, but I managed to keep myself in a way where it wasn’t overwhelming by taking it one step at a time. For anyone who struggles with having too many things going on at once, take a step back, take some deep breaths, and then tackle each task one by one.
Sincerely,
