Tips for Teens to get ready to move out.
1. First you want to purge your belongings and get rid of what you do not want anymore – Giveaway, Throwaway, Put away and Take away ( to college/university) Those things you are keeping and leaving behind, if they are items you will not use when you are home; re: memories and keepsakes, pack away in a tote and label.
