First time leaving home for a job and I genuinely don’t know what all I should carry/help 😭

Hello, I need advice on what all to carry with me when travelling from my hometown to another city for a job for the first time.

I’ve honestly never stayed away from home before, not even for coaching or anything, so this whole thing feels very new and overwhelming.

I know basic stuff like clothes and documents, but I feel like there are probably a lot of small important things people only realize later after moving out.

So can someone please explain from the basics like you would to a younger sibling 😭

• What are the actual necessary things to carry?

• Things people often forget?

• What helped you the most when you moved out for the first time?

• Also any advice for adjusting mentally would really help too because I’m both excited and scared at the same time lol.

Thank you in advance!!
