🎒 What Your Storage Unit Says About You: Student Edition
Because your storage habits reveal more than your degree ever will.
🧳 1. The Overpacker
Storage Unit Contents: 11 hoodies, 7 pairs of “backup shoes,” and a rice cooker that’s never been used.
Vibe: You came to uni ready for every possible weather scenario, zombie apocalypse included. You still don’t know how you got it all there, but your storage unit looks like a fashion showroom with camping gear.
Storage Tip: Stackable bins. Label everything. No, really—label everything.

🖼️ 2. The Sentimental Hoarder
Storage Unit Contents: Year 7 drama scripts, empty crisp packets with inside jokes, and three “Happy Birthday” banners from 2019.
Vibe: You say “everything has a story,” which explains why your childhood teddy has a designated shelf.
Storage Tip: Store keepsakes in smaller boxes so you don’t accidentally bury your laundry under your old Pokémon cards.

đź’Ľ 3. The Gap-Year Globetrotter
Storage Unit Contents: A suitcase that’s lived in more countries than you have, a hammock, and 4 hats that scream “I’ve found myself.”
Vibe: Always “just back from somewhere” or “about to go.” You don’t really need storage—you need a teleportation device.
Storage Tip: Invest in weatherproof containers—your travel gear deserves better than a mouldy farewell.

🪑 4. The Furniture Collector
Storage Unit Contents: A coffee table you rescued off Facebook Marketplace, 2 broken chairs, and a lamp that “just needs rewiring.”
Vibe: Future interior designer or just a lowkey hoarder? It’s hard to tell. You’re storing potential.
Storage Tip: If it’s been broken since Freshers’ Week, it’s not “quirky”—it’s just broken. Be ruthless.

🧼 5. The Secret Minimalist
Storage Unit Contents: Literally everything you own. Your room at uni is zen and immaculate—but only because your storage unit looks like an IKEA crime scene.
Vibe: Clean on the outside, chaotic on the inside. We respect it.
Storage Tip: Rotation is key. Swap things in and out by season so your friends keep believing you live in a Pinterest board.

📦 6. The Last-Minute Panicker
Storage Unit Contents: Random bags of clothes, one toaster, and a half-eaten box of cereal.
Vibe: You didn’t plan this. You may not even remember renting the unit. But hey—it’s all in there. Somewhere.
Storage Tip: Next time, book early and bring boxes. And maybe hold the snacks. It's against our policy (lol).

đźšš 7. The Shared-Storage Strategist
Storage Unit Contents: Your stuff, your mate’s stuff, and your mate’s mate’s stuff. A spreadsheet was probably involved.
Vibe: You're all about efficiency. Why pay full price when you can split storage and split the stress?
Storage Tip: Keep shared items in separate labelled zones or bags. Otherwise, September becomes a chaotic game of “Whose Air Fryer Is This?”
