Life Logistics Nobody Prepares You For Hat 7

Having to move in the middle of the semester because of problems with my lease
It's not fun to find out in the middle of your lease that it won't be extended, your rent is going up, or you can't live in the way you chose.
How to deal with:
Always have a backup list of places to rent ready, even if you don't plan to move right away.
You can move faster if you keep your things in order and don't bring too many of them.
Pay close attention to the lease to see if there are any terms that say how to end it or raise the rent.
That way, you won't have to worry as much about tests. If you can, try to land your lease end during school breaks.

How to deal with roommates who don't clean or follow the same rules
Some people have trouble getting along when they live in different ways, like how often they clean, how loud they are, or how many guests they have.
How to take care of:
Make a roommate agreement that spells out tasks, quiet hours, and shared costs so that everyone knows what to expect from the start.
When you bring up problems, be kind and talk about behavior instead of attitude.
Talk to your owner or the housing office for help if things don't get better.
Keep important things in your own storage to avoid arguments over shared items.

If you need to call someone in an emergency when your family isn't around


Emergencies can seem worse when you don't have family nearby to help you.
How to go:
Keep the police, fire, and ambulance numbers in your area ready and write them down.
It's important to have someone you can trust in your area who can help you if you're sick or in trouble.
Find out what to do in an emergency at your school and how to reach campus security.
Keep some first-aid supplies, a flashlight, and important papers in a small emergency kit at home.
