An Introduction

Hey!

So, you're going to live in Heritage Halls.

I want you to know that you've made the right choice. As I sit at my dorm desk, boxes all around me with half my stuff packed up, I realize how great of a year I've had here in Heritage.

When I was in your shoes 12 months ago, I wished that someone would have made available a Heritage specific packing list. I had seen all the blog posts on Pinterest for "what to pack for your college dorm", which were helpful, but I wanted something that would show me what Heritage would look like and what I did/didn't need to bring, for Heritage. 

This page is here to be the resource I wish I had when I was trying to figure out what to bring. So, I'm glad you're here! And I hope this page helps. Get excited! You're going to have the time of your life here. 

Moving out is a really big step! Probably one of the bigger ones on the staircase of your life so far. You're leaving your comfort zone and everything you're used to. The idea of it all is simultaneously exciting and terrifying. That's college in a nutshell. You'll make a lot of decisions in college that are big decisions, and you'll a lot of "firsts": Your first time in a YSA ward, your first failed test, your first time having to take yourself to the doctor without your mom, your first date with an RM - its all exciting and terrifying, and it's all so-classically freshman year. So, yay for you! The adventure is about to being. 

The first step to it all is figuring out how to get there. My best advice for moving - don't stress! You'll forget things, you'll run into little issues - but you'll find a way to make things work. I promise.

So here's to you, and to the wonderful experience that awaits you in Heritage Halls. 
Take every moment in, because one day you'll move out and it will break your heart in two. 

I wish you all the luck in the world.
