Great Things To Do While The Kid Is Away At College

Now that you have dropped your kid off at college you may be asking yourself, “What am I supposed to do?” For the first time in 18 years, you don’t have to schedule your day around carpooling, afterschool practice or packing lunches. Of course, you didn’t mind doing all those things and you probably miss them but now is the time to refocus your attention on some of the things you might have been putting off while raising the kids. They’ll be fine in college. Here are some great things to do while there a way:

Take up a Hobby

Perhaps there is something that you use to do back in the day that you could go back to. Did you enjoy taking photographs or spinning pottery? Maybe you enjoyed sewing or other arts and crafts. Those are the kinds of things you can return to now you have some free time on your hands. You can also start a new hobby. Did you ever want to learn how to play the piano? Build a ship in a bottle? Go for it.

Travel

Traveling is the number one thing that many parents do after their kids go off to college. You don’t have to go around the world but there might be some fun weekend trips to go on. Perhaps it’s time to book that crews adventure you always dreamt about. Think of this vacation as a reward for all the hauled work you did getting your kid off to college. That is definitely something that should be celebrated.

Volunteer

If you miss being around your kid, then there are plenty of opportunities where you could be help other kids. There are always programs at the local library for afterschool reading. You could even get a job at a preschool or day care center.

Organize Your Home

This is also a perfect time to organize your home. Start with the junk drawer in your kitchen and expand to your closet, basement, garage and attic. You should go on a quest for all the unwanted clutter that is taking up valuable space in your house. It doesn’t just have to be old computers but also futons, sofas, mattresses, appliances and any other household goods you know you’re not going to use again. All of that stuff could fill up a truck and that’s just what Junk King Richmond can provide. They’ll also be sending over a crew to do all the lifting and loading. You can just sit back and watch all that rubbish leave your home for good. You can always count on Junk King Richmond to help organize your home by hauling away the junk.

Get The Most Out Of Your Storage Unit

Renting a storage unit is going to be a monthly cost but it is money well spent especially if storage around your home is limited. The most popular time to rent a storage unit is when you making the transition from one home to the next. You can also use your storage unit as a kind of extension of your garage. Here are some other thoughts to help you get the most out of your storage unit:

REQUEST - Garage Clutter - Landscape

Stacked To the Ceiling

All the heavy objects that go into your storage unit should form the foundation of what you’re packing. You should also stack your boxes up to the ceiling. If you are putting in sofas or tables, then they should be put on their side to make more room. With tables, you can take off the legs.

Create New Uses for Storage

You should always look for ways to repurpose what you are putting in storage. For instance, if you are storing a refrigerator, then it can become its own storage unit. Once it is clean and dry it becomes a good space for a lot of items. The same can be said for dressers, empty trashcans and luggage.

Be Smart About Placement

If you know that you’re going to be bringing things in and out of your storage unit, then those the items you want to put up front. Those boxes should also be carefully label so you know exactly where you need to pull from. You could even write out a small map diagram that details where things are located.

Make a Path

As you pack, you should always work from the walls inward. If you can leave a path between those stacks, then it will be easier to get to the stuff in the back. If you put labels and the boxes, make sure they’re all facing forward.

Don’t Pack Junk

Since you are paying for the storage unit, you want to maximize the space with the things that are of use to you. In other words, you don’t want to pack junk that you would normally throw out. Take the time to sort through all the things you want to put into storage. Anything that you know you’re aren’t going to use again, including big pieces of furniture, can be turned over to Junk King Richmond. These are the junk hauling pros that can be a big help when it comes to carting off all kinds of junk and rubbish. Make sure your storage unit is junk free with a junk removal session from Junk King Richmond.
