Moving Day
When it comes to moving day, are you a list-making organizer or do you just throw it all in the truck and sort it out when you are unpacking? There are definitely pros and cons to both approaches, but either way, it’s all gotta get moved, right?
Just like most young adults, moving day for our oldest students is met with excitement and trepidation. The excitement of your first apartment is mixed with a little fear of living on your own.
Setting up housekeeping for the first time also brings new expenses. There’s furniture and dishes and sheets and towels and curtains and mops and brooms and on and on. And then you have to learn how to manage all of your new belongings and take care of your new space. You might not even be sure how to use some of those new cleaning supplies too.
A First Apartment
Our After Care team is working to help these young adults set up their own housing. They may be getting ready to graduate this year, or may be changing jobs, or just striking out on their own for the first time. Either way, there are a lot of needs when setting up your first home.
