Off to College

This time of year its hard not to think about all the students getting ready to head back to college.  I would imagine they have so many things to get ready to prepare for the next years journey..
New classes, new teachers, new friends etc.  Some of the best memories are just ahead, memories that will last a life time.
I never had any interest in going to college,  I wish i had.  I have heard some really good college stories from friends and family.  Really funny stuff!!! :)

Don't leave home before you cross these 5 off your list!!

1)  Make sure financial Aid is completed.  It's always good to double check.

2)  Check the directions and arrangements for getting to final destination. Make sure your car has all the necessary repairs, oil change and good tires.  These things will be easier to take care of in your home town where you know and trust who is doing it.

3)  Go over the list of events for  the first week of entering school. This first week is usually full of fun activities to get you antiquated with new people and get you familiar with the area better,  Hall meetings, football games and welcome parties to mention a few,.

4)  Don't forget to have that going away party with all your friends and family.  Make sure to have a camera handy for all the pictures that will make memories for a life time

5)  Living arrangements-  Whether it be a small apartment or dorm room.  You will need to know what items to bring. Coffee pot, small refrigerator, Futon or Chaise Lounge sofa. At
Up North Furniture we have a selection of small sofa's perfect for small apartment living.  Whether it be for a guest to spend the night or an afternoon nap.  They would be great in a college students new pad.



This Lounge moves quickly from chaise to sleeper with its multi-position Click-Clack technology.

It would be so easy to accommodate that last minute overnight guest.

Just look at how simple and yet beautiful this is.  It would make a great place to lounge or hang with friends.  It looks to me like a great place to read a book, whether it be for study or pleasure.

My guess is that no matter how much you try you will never be as prepared as you should for what lies ahead. Enjoy!!!
