Size does matter

If you are moving and get boxes that are flattened, remember to check to see if the box will actually fit through the door when it's full size. Also, it is less frustrating if you don't pack it before you do this… 

Yes, this box is completely full of my stuff.  Yes, I will unpack and repack it outside of my apartment. Yes, I love doing this in the heat of summer.  Yes, I am a master student.  Yes, you all have to love me.

My friend Chelsea did give me a detailed check list for packing, and I never saw anything about checking box sizes before I fill them.  However, I'm not upset because I kind of expect these moments on a daily basis.  Unfortunately, I don't believe most people would encounter this issue, hence why I needed to share it with you all.  

I should write an advice column.
