Hi y’all, I’m Makayla! I’m a student at the University of Texas at Austin and I created this video to ease the college transition process for freshmen and transfer students by answering all of the questions you might have about Moov-in, all in one video. Thank you so much for tuning in!

Below, I’ve created an ULTIMATE packing list with links to the products I mentioned in the video, along with all of the other things I think are pretty essential to bring. If you have any questions AT ALL, I’ll actively be responding to comments. Please subscribe as I plan to actively post throughout the semester! Thank you!!
