PACKING
FOUR STEPS TO MAKING YOUR MOVE EASIER

Summer is quickly approaching and before you know it will be time to move out of your dorm room or apartment. Don't make the mistake of waiting to the last hour to start packing. Getting a head start on packing affords you the opportunity to get organized and can make unpacking easier.
This is the perfect time to go through all of your belongings and evaluate their usefulness. Here is a hint — if you didn't use it at your current residence, you probably won't use it at your next. Trash it.
STEP ONE: PURGE
STEP TWO: PRIORITIZE
When you start packing, there are plenty of items you can box up that you will not miss. Items such as picture frames, books, movies, memorabilia and other knickknacks are perfect examples of things you can pack first. Set a daily goal for a number of boxes you would like to pack. Make sure to keep boxes light enough to move.
STEP THREE: LABEL
The key to staying organized is as simple as picking up a marker. Mark each box indicating the contents and where the box belongs in your new space. To take your organization to the next level, create a color-coding system. Assign each space a color and label the boxes that belong to that space with the appropriate color. Another hint: Label each side of the box, not just one.
STEP FOUR: FINAL TOUCHES
Dedicate a box to the essentials. This should include the items you cannot live without after a long day of moving, like bedding and personal items. Don't forget your toothbrush!

Moving out can be chaotic. Being organized will make the moving process smoother. Having a packing system will benefit you when unpacking your things.
I know, it was just a spring rooftop game. Neither Heaps nor McCay have proven themselves.
Junior quarterback Jake Heaps passes the ball during the second half of the Spring Game Saturday afternoon. Kansas' 2013 season will begin on Sept. 7 against South Dakota.
But why not make the comparison?
The past three years have been a disaster for the Kansas quarterback-receiver duos. Last year, it was Crist and Kale Pick, and no wide receiver caught a touchdown. The year before that was Jordan Webb and Pick, which resulted in two touchdowns. In 2010, the duo was Webb and Daymond Patterson.
The big-time combination has been drastically missing since Reesing and Briscoe, but that might soon change.

Heaps doesn't have the mobility like Reeing, but he certainly has the arm. McCay is lacking in speed, but he has a similar frame and athleticism as Briscoe.
Look, it's a long stretch, but the possibility is there and has time to develop with both being juniors.
We'll just have to wait and see it develop in the fall.

Kansas coach Charlie Weis said there were a couple of plays that Heaps could have executed better, but for the most part, the BYU transfer lived up to Weis' expectations.
win over the White team. Local media voted Heaps co-offensive MVP for the game.
"You've got to be encouraged when you watch him play." Weis said. "Strong arm, accurate, and knows how to read coverages."
Heaps' biggest target in Saturday's spring game was junior wide receiver Justin McCay, who shared the offensive MVP title with Heaps. McCay's eightceptions helped produce 99 yards and a touchdown for the Blue sound.
Heaps and McCay spent a lot of time this offseason working together and carried it over to Saturday for fans to see. McCay sat out last year, but will be an essential part of the lajwhawks' offense in 2013.
"What we need is a dynamic football player to go down and stretch the defense and make plays down field," Heaps said. "With him
Although McCay has yet to make a name for himself, he is already a key player as Heaps continues to be the leader for Kansas. The quarterback-wide receiver duo showed a lot of potential for this season in the spring game.
McCay played in three games as a redshirt freshman at the University of Oklahoma in 2011, including one against Kansas. As a Sooner, McCay did not accumulate any statistics and still awaits his first catch in a college football game.
ing their teammates every Saturday and learning as much as they could before stepping into their shoes.
"I'ta a lot of fun to see him go out there and perform and play as well as he did," Heaps said. "Now we're going to expect that from him every single day."
Weis opted out of coaching in the spring game and scouted the team from the press box. He liked what he saw in the duo.
"I think one of the reasons why Jake had a big day is because Justin
Like Heaps, he sees the new opportunity to go from being a quiet football player to being a big
had a big day, and vice versa."
Weis said. "One of the reasons Justin had a big day is because Jake knows where to throw and where he's going to be."
McCay said after the game that Heaps "amazes" him in practices as the two have built a lot of chemistry and camaraderie this year.

"It definitely humbles you," McCay said. "It makes you more hungry when you get on the field. I'm just trying to compete."
contributor under Weis' offense.
On Monday, the players will visit doctors and trainers to check up on injuries. Later in the week, the players will watch the spring game and receive offseason evaluations from the coaching staff. The players will have meetings with their
position coaches on Wednesday and Thursday.
The players will soon begin summer conditioning. The team will report for fall camp in August to prepare for its season opener at home against the University of South Dakota on Sept. 7.
