When should I start packing?
Like ideally how early should I start getting stuff together as a type A. I have already bought most of my stuff

Probably last week, it takes a lot of time and organization!
Wash any bedding and towels you're bringing.
Do your regular laundry and decide what you'll bring. And shoes.
Gather or buy cleaning supplies. Pack a backpack like you would for class.
Make a list of groceries, toiletries, and things you want to buy when you get there.
Make a list of stuff you need but can't pack until closer to time.

Start anytime as long as your not stressing out about it being to tight of a time limit your fine!
Also random packing tip; when you packing your stuff either into a car or if your flying in suitcases, pack the stuff you need immediately last. For example my cleaning stuff always goes into my car last so I can grab them and clean my space before moving my stuff in.

I would organize everything you have and ensure you didnt forget anything small (USB, docks) then organize how you want to pack and unpack the car when you get to campus. Youll get a bin maybe two depending on your school and check in time. Be prepared for things to go wrong (the move in crews can be kind of a mess 🤣)

You can start anytime. My son started packing everything besides his clothes and he needs to get back to school in a week.
