Preparation diminishes stress
■ Moving won’t give
you gray hair if you
plan ahead, manage
your time and get
informed about the
process

“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.”
