The 35 shirts includes base layers, top layers, and sweaters so isn’t so crazy as it seems, but it’s still too much. Why not pull out roughly a third of this and pack it in a box. If you have room and not enough clothes, it can be mailed.

I would also put everything out and make sure it coordinates. You’ll have many more outfits that way. If you have enough clothes for two weeks and a couple of extra undies, you’ll be fine. Plus you’ll be able to find things and they won’t be a wrinkled mess.

And here’s a hint… when you get your schedule, plan a laundry time during the week during the day and make it part of your routine. It won’t be crowded then, and you won’t need to have enough clothes for a month.

Lastly, bonus! When you go home, you can swap out clothes, and it’ll feel like you have a new wardrobe.
