Ah, spring cleaning! It’s a term that either inspires excitement or anxiety. No matter how you view spring cleaning, getting organized and swapping out seasonal items is a good way to get prepared for the upcoming months.

The months of May and June signify the end of the spring semester at colleges throughout the country and the official start of summer; it's also the time that students begin to plan their return home. College graduates and students often wonder about the best way to transport and store the belongings they've accumulated through the academic year.

Long-term traveling is a lot like moving in that you’ll need to go through what you have to figure out what to keep and what to get rid of. Give those things you don’t want to charity stores like the Goodwill (don’t forget to get receipts for tax write-offs) or sell them on classified websites like Craigslist. Also, consider having a yard sale.
