I haven't even started packing. So naturally I frantically started packing.
But the question is, what to pack when going to study overseas?
Here's what I grabbed while under the temporary panic attack (please try not to laugh)
This is how far I've gotten with "packing" |
Although I am yet to pack any clothing items.
Okay time to be honest, I hate packing. I don't know why. I hate packing and I hate unpacking. I usually throw a bunch of things into my suitcase a day or a few hours before my flight. So I usually have awkward mismatched clothes during my vacations, but I don't really care because it's a vacation.
It's a different case altogether this time round. This is NOT a holiday. I am literally MOVING to another city. To a place where the weather is completely different from what I am used to. So, what should I pack to prepare myself for life in London?
My first instinct : Everything in my closet.
But that's just plain ridiculous.
So I've come up with a few list. My first list is
What to prepare
1) Suitcase - I know this is an obvious one but do bear with me, I have my reasons for including this on my list. So prefarbly, get a LARGE suitcase since obviously one would be there for a long time, so there is much to pack. But if like me, you do not own a large suitcase and do not want to purchase one, go to point number 2
2) Boxes - I will be putting most of my things in boxes and organize it into categories. Eg; bedding, food, etc. This will make it possible for me to not have to squeeze my clothes with a million other things I will be bringing. Also, it keeps all the things in good condition (nothing will be crumpled, smashed or squished)
Part 2 will include a list of essential items to pack.
But it is past midnight, I need to sleep in the hopes of being able to make wise decision when I continue packing after a good long sleep.
