One of the biggest problems in moving from home to a cubicle was making everything fit. Tammy Clark, a freshman from Missouri, confessed, "I didn't know what to bring and what to leave." Freshmen usually had the hardest time. Consequently, they ended up cramming everything into a small room making it even seem smaller. If this did not work, some things went back home. Students who had to fly because of distance had different troubles. "I brought very little because I had to fly. So for the first semester I had only the bare necessities. This summer, because I live over 500 miles from home, I will just store my things here," said Wade Wheeler from Washington. However those who live close to home could bring belongings to school or take them home during weekend visits. All during Student Impact the parking lots overflowed with activity. They were filled with boxes, suitcases and trunks all of which were transported in in everything from volkswagens to U-Hauls. Sophomore Patti Blank said her biggest problem in moving was " . . . fitting everything into the car." Once in their rooms , residents adjusted to living with a new person and learning to share. Moving back home for the summer presented an even bigger problem for many. Somehow things seemed to have grown and clothes multiplied. When the student moved home they had to spend days (or weeks) rearranging their room to meet their standards. Yet, come August, they packed it all up again. Supposedly, students should learn what to bring and what to leave. However, Sharon Bowles, a junior from Abilene, Texas, said "Every year my dorm room gets more packed with my belongings. By the time I graduate I think it will take two or three U-Haul vans to move me to my new home." Despite how much each student brings to cram into his cubicle room, he still has to share the space and actually make it all fit! -Janelle McFarland MOVING IN.
