True - tempers can flare. Emotions are running high.

When we moved our son, we thought ahead and followed those lists almost down to the letter, knowing he wouldn’t have a car to pick up stuff right away. His roommate didn’t, either, which made it tricky to get off campus to a shopping area.

Surge protector power strip with a long enough cord is another biggie. These will save those expensive electronic devices in the event of a power surge. These do happen. Last year, in our community, there was spike of electricity and everything that was plugged into one at my house survived. My husband’s laptop was plugged in and smoke came out of his office - laptop was fine. Later on, we discovered the power strip was black and fried, even though all electronics were fine. Well worth spending $15.
