That small group of gas station plastic cups? What about the jeans you have had from the time you were a freshman, however you still will not fit into?

There is not any point in hanging onto something you have not used, and don't need. Or in taking things along with you if it would be simpler and economical to merely upgrade it with a new model shipped by someone else.

Then, just before you move, pack a weekend bag with all your essentials (several sets of garments, toiletries, etc.). By taking it in little, achievable pieces, you can make a move in El Paso feel much lighter than it really is.
