Preparation diminishes stress ■ Moving won’t give you gray hair if you plan ahead, manage your time and get informed about the process By Sandra Colton for the Emerald “There are two parallels be tween coming into the Uni versity as a freshman and moving out of the dorms into an apartment,” said Ron Miyaguchi, senior staff psy chologist at the University Counseling Center. “You are going from less responsibility to more responsibility, and interpersonal negotiation needs to take place. Figuring out how to get along with new roommates involves negotiat ing skills.” In fall 1999, Uni versity of Oregon Housing Of fice Occupancy Data shows that 3,243 freshmen moved into University Housing. Ad justing 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 Univer sity’s assistant director of resi dence life. By underestimating the amount of work involved in moving and doing the move all at once, students may cre ate unwanted stress. Do as much preparation as you can before moving, Miyaguchi said. “Implement strategies, re minders and to-do lists,” he said. Organizing your boxes by using stickers that desig nate 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 stress ful.” 3 Bedroom Apartment • Within a block of UO • Laundry facilities v' • Covered parking garage • Spacious bedrooms • Special rates 1 year: $575 Fall: $695 Summer: $395 ‘Prices subject to change Call now to reserve and for more info.
