This is one of those life moments when less is more. In thinking about this post, I reviewed some college webpages and what they say to help students and parents plan for move-in day, and I was struck by the phrasing at my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. They preface the checklist: “Remember, along with packing the essentials, your student should be sure to bring a sense of self, a sense of purpose, and a sense of humor.” I think that’s spot on.
