在成为游牧民族的几年之后，搬入和走出宿舍，我的父母的家和公寓，我终于来休息，今年夏天没有移动一次。久坐的国家让我享受我之前无法享受的东西：人们搬家的奇观。现在我不确定移动的奇观是一个喜剧还是戏剧。但是我从个人体验中知道它可能是一个涉及那些涉及的人或那些错误的喜剧的恐怖表演。\ nmy在我需要移动的那一天没有移动卡车，当我能够在Martinsville找到一个U-haul时，我感到幸运是我需要的大约三倍的三倍更贵，因为我忘记了预订。所有这一切都发生在一天的温度飙升到107度，而不是计算热量指数。\ nbut这似乎温和，而我以前没有意识的问题，虽然我可以陷入这个陷阱：暂时的无家可归。当某人的租约在他或她的下一次租约开始之前到期时会发生这种情况。这可能是某人可能发生的最糟糕的事情之一，因为它们被迫找到一些东西来存储所有东西，而且往往并不容易。\ nit成为你愿意施加多少朋友的问题你的朋友必须存放你的东西的免费空间。 It's doubtful a friend will be able to store an entire living room set, but they will find space for that 25-inch television. You also have to be careful that you keep your clothing together, because there is nothing worse than having taking a shower at Susan's place, finding your pants, but discovering you left your underwear at John's apartment, five blocks away.\nSo you resort to a suitcase with your clothing and a storage unit for your furniture, which really isn't that bad a deal … or is it? At one storage company here in town, the smallest space goes for $25 a month, with a $15 nonrefundable processing fee. That's pretty pricey for two days, and you can't rent for less than a month.\nClearly there is a winner in this game: the companies that own storage units ' they must make a huge profit in August, the month when most of these temporary homelessness situations occur.\nThe dorm room experience is also interesting to watch and less exasperating for me because I no longer drive to work. There is nothing quite like watching an incoming dorm resident, especially a freshman whose parents don't really want to see their offspring leave the nest. Upon arrival into town, 10th Street becomes unbelievably clogged with cars as traffic crawls to a complete halt. This is probably the one day a year that campus has a legitimate traffic nightmare.\nI realize it's not amusing for the people involved and that it is quite stressful, but I remember the first time I moved into a dorm room: The elevators were rickety and I brought too much crap. Of course, not everybody at IU has the benefits of an elevator; a lot of people at IU have to haul their stuff up the stairs, one large object at a time. It's moments like these that you suddenly appreciate the 13-inch television and the beanbag chair your friends brought instead of that 35-inch television and EZ-Boy recliner you brought.\nOf course, the whole scenario starts up again next May when people move out of the dorms and apartments. What I constantly find amazing is how much more stuff I can acquire in a year and what took one trip to move this summer will take Mom and Dad two trips the next. I hope I will be on the sidelines yet again.
