Whether it be from dorm life to your first apartment, or the big move from college to career, stress can make that transition more diffi cult than it has to be. “There are two parallels between coming into the University as a freshman and moving out of the dorms into an apartment,” said Ron Miyaguchi, senior staff psychologist at the University Counseling Cen ter. “You are going from less responsibility to more re sponsibility, and interper sonal negotiation needs to take place. Figuring out how to get along with new roommates involves negoti ating skills. ... “Communication is the main problem students find when moving into a new living environment.” In fall 1999, University of Oregon Housing Office Oc cupancy Data show that 3,243 freshmen moved into University Housing. Adjust ing to this new way of life is difficult for many, as is the time when students move out of those living quarters. “Students planning on moving out of the residence halls need to pay attention to how much things really cost,” said Katie Bryant, the University’s assistant direc tor of residence life. Things such as utilities and laundry facilities are of ten taken for granted in the residence halls. Students need to think about de posits and hook-up costs, Bryant said. Matthew Lieuallen, ASUO housing advocate, advises students who are moving to “plan ahead and check out places as soon as they can. Students need to get on the ball and get [mov ing plans] taken care of early. “Pressured for time and money, students must be aware of deadlines,” Lieuallen said. The four components of stress are “the precipitating event or condition, the set of assumptions and the belief systems we carry which de termine our perceptions of the event or situation, and our responses...according to the Counseling and Test ing Center Web site. “The most common thing that students overlook when moving are the most simple things,” Miyaguchi said. By underestimating the amount of work involved in moving and doing the move all at once, students may create unwanted stress. “Transition to a new place gradually is a lot less disrup tive,” Miyaguchi said. Some of the ways to cope with the stress of moving are to “relax, exercise, be more assertive setting limits and priorities, time management, pay attention to sensory nur turing, express emotions and avoid self-medicating,” said Linda Sherman, staff psy chologist for the Counseling Center. “The major focus is on balancing social, physi cal, mental and spiritual needs ...T Do as much preparation as you can before moving, Miyaguchi said. “Implement strategies, reminders and to-do lists,” he said. “Moving compa nies offer moving tips on the Internet.” Organizing your boxes by using stickers that designate which boxes to “Move First,” “Move Last” or to not move at all can make the task of moving a lot smoother. Miyaguchi recommended leaving “the kitchen and bathrooms to last, gradually moving things, and taking a step back to look at the bigger picture if things get too stressful.” At the end of the year, moving may also involve transporting some unwant ed items. “We will be collecting stuff for St. Vincent dePaul and Food for Lane County,” Bryant said. “This will re duce the amount of un wanted items for students, as well as providing things for charity. We are also try ing to put on a garage sale.” Practically on Campus CLAIR LU APARTMENTS at 735 E. 17th (between Alder & Hilyard) 1 Bedroom, Furnished Apartments On site laundry & parking SUMMER RATE $310 FALL RATE $410 Call 343-2114 or 344-1583 Student Manor Reserving For Fall Low Summer Rates!!
