Moving out stuffs?

[Bananasplit_00]

Almost certainly moving out to go to Uni mid summer, need to get moving out stuff for my birthday but id like some tips on whats useful from those of you that have moved out. I cant really think of much, I have no idea what il be needing once im not living with my parents anymore and what I need for uni.

 

So far my list is:

A cast iron saucepan

 

Yah thats it. Like ofc il need some plates and cutlery but thats already sorted. 

 

Thanks for any help because im clueless

Bread toaster. Helps against stale bread and making it tasty regardless of how dry it is. Simply add butter and Jam akd you are good

Depending on your accommodations a pair of flip flops will do wonders. Communal showers can be the worst and footwear will at least take the edge off.

 

Apart from that, you always need assorted smaller tools. You never know when you'll need a crowbar, a hammer or a screwdriver.

Small cloths for cleaning surfaces aswell as pieces if kork to place pans and stuff on.

First, make a list of what you already have. Then look to see if anything is missing from that list. It will help you out quite a bit.

I always pack light and take linen, laptop and tech etc, my bathroom stuff, I usually buy a new pan rather than bring one (I fly back to uni). 

 

Always pack light and you’ll thank yourself.

Never moved out (not old enough to yet) but I can tell you this much - get a microwave.

Don't feel like there is a huge incentive for me to pack light?

If you get a power cut and your lights stop working, I think a torch would be quite good to have.

It depends on your country though. If you live in Europe, US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand you shouldn't have much trouble with power cuts.

Last time I had one was about 3-4 years ago now.

It'll be huge, just the essentials and a few doodads you'll be right as rain. When I first when to college I brought heaps of stuff, moving out was such a pain at the end of the year. I was pretty paranoid that I might need some stuff or might not, ended up with two suitcases full, and then brought. more throughout the year. Not great at all because I had to move out all at once. Simpler the better. 

 

Oh and stuff for when it gets cold, especially if you are paying for power.

I mean pack light, less weight, not much, not pack a flashlight , but I'm sure it will come in handy!

Power cuts are fairly rare and fixed quickly but Il consider it

Oh that's fair enough then. I travel a lot different places and stayed in a hall for the first year. Good luck with university though .

Depends on what you is "included" in your apartment. I did a quick Google search and found this list that seems pretty good: Moving Checklist.
