The first step of any successful move is to empty the car.
-
Among the ways to achieve this is help -- lots of help!

While toting boxes and other items, though, there is time for lively conversation ...
-
... but mostly, you know, it's the boxes ...
-
... and then MORE boxes.
-
Where was the world before clear with snap-on boxes with lids.
-
Did someone mention there are lots of boxes involved?
-
And then there are the stairs.
-
Sometimes, between the boxes and the stairs, a guy just needs a break.
-
Once the boxes are in the room, there are the inevitable rearranging decisions.
-
Space allocation, combined with getting to know your new roomie, can seem like high-level negotiations.
-
Once you've got the room set up, there are decorations to acquire ...
-
... and groups to meet about joining the fun ...
-
... and intramural sports and activities to consider.
-
Students, especially new students, have to learn their way to campus 'hot spots.'
-
Once the work is done, it's time to play ...
-

-
And finally comes the moment of decision: the parental departure.
