Wow that's a lot. I have no idea how I'm going to fit all of that into my parent's car. But almost everything is necessary to have a comfortable time in college/in the dorm rooms. If you check out my Dorm Supplies post, I go into a little more depth of what I already have to give you some ideas.
What should I bring for college that I already haven't mentioned?

Thanks! I wrote my list on paper too! I love to be able to highlight to mark it off!
DeleteAlly, this is such an awesome list! I went about writing mine the same way (via Pinterest and everything). Your list had some things I was missing, but mine had a few extras I thought you might want to look at:
ReplyDeletecurling iron, deodorant, perfume, tweezers, nail clippers/files, body and hand lotions, sunscreen, bandaids, alarm clock (unless you use your phone), disinfectant wipes (I'm a clean freak, so I NEED these), and all of your personal info (!!! driver's license, student ID, insurance info, social security card, etc).
Thanks again for sharing!
Thank you for the ones I missed!
DeleteThis post seems familiar so I may have posted before... but i saw it in the college advice link up so im going to comment again lol. heres my advice: dont bring silverwere. I sniched mine from the cafeteria then returned it at the end of the year lol. Also a glass pryex glass (like a liquid measuring glass) is awesome. I used it to microwave everything, heat water, and cook ramen.
ReplyDeleteLol! I might just have to do that! Awesome suggestion! I'll have to look in to getting one of those!
