MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Mar 30, 2005--It`s time to pack up and head home for summer with as much of your stuff as you can cram in Mom or Dad�s SUV or minivan. Why not save yourself the hassle of Mom rummaging through your boxes (who knows what she might find!) and stash everything in a nearby storage unit?
Here`s a list of things that can make summer storage as easy as dropping last semester�s Trig class.
1. Stash your Clothes. Separate your clothes into those you`ll wear this summer, those you won`t and those miniskirts, negligees and other clothing you don`t want Mom to see.
2. Stash your Gear. Separate your stuff into two categories: Home and Away-From-Home. Pare down as much as possible, because you know there isn`t as much room in your parent`s basement as there was before college.
3. Recycle Books. Last semester`s school books are for last semester. Sell `em. To the school book store. To underclassmen. To your kid sister. Do something with them, just don`t bring them home!
4. Leave the Milk Crates and Cement Blocks. Your cool furniture looks cool in the dorm, not in your parent`s living room.
5. Dump your ''Memorabilia.'' The imported beer cans, Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues and the few hundred strands of Mardi Gras beads might seem priceless to you now, but aren`t exactly going to make you rich on eBay someday. Dump them unless the thought breaks your heart. If you can`t bear to part with them, find the nearest self storage facility rather than risk having Mom put them out by the curb as soon as you get home.
Since few colleges offer summer storage, more and more students are turning to self-storage facilities for the summer. They offer the quickest, easiest and least expensive way to store your belongings for the summer. You can lease a unit to meet your summer storage needs, or longer, if necessary.
Some national chains are even offering specials just for students. At Storage USA, a national chain, students get a $25 Visa gift card with every new rental. Or, if your wallet is already crammed with so many credit cards that you don�t have room for one more, Storage USA has a choice of three other offers: two weeks free storage, 15% off your summer rental, or even free use of a moving truck at some of their locations.
