![]() ![]() I wanted to be really prepared and brought extra toiletries, face washes, shampoo, etc. Bring a few favorites and buy the rest as needed or else you’ll be like me and end up having way too much!Įxtras of things. With that being said, school supplies in college towns usually get picked over pretty fast so if you want to bring a binder or two to be safe you could. I suggest buying most of your school supplies in your college town after you get there. You never really know what you need until you go to syllabus week of your classes (by the way, actually attend class that week). On top of that you can receive a ton of free t-shirts from your college at different events and even more if you join a sorority! The only time you really dress up for college is when you go out or the rare occasions when you have a presentation in a class. I made the mistake of bringing so many clothes that I never wore my freshman year. Plus they make for great storage! DON’T NEED:Īll your clothes. I used these as step stools to climb into my raised bed and they were life savers! I’m not super short, but I definitely would not have made it into bed every night if it weren’t for these. They’re not allowed but just hide it (trust me). I don’t know why but my cooking knife got used quite a bit throughout the year! Side note, you can actually open wine bottles with a cooking knife – you’re welcome □.Ī toaster. After awhile dining hall food gets old so you end up making some of your own food in your dorm. Funny thing is, I hate taking medicine so I think everyone else used it more than I did!Ī cooking knife. I was constantly letting my roommates and hallmates borrow advil, tums, and, everyone’s favorite, my Emetrol which was is for nassau. I was my roommates pharmacy (okay that sounds kind of bad, not in a bad way y’all). ![]() Then my boyfriend’s phone charger got stolen so I gave my spare to him until mine finally gave out! My roommate was the first one to need it when hers broke so she used mine until she could buy a new one. One to keep plugged into my wall, and another in a drawer for back up. Because of that I purchased two phone chargers for back to school. I don’t know about you, but my phone chargers tend to break all the time (I see what you’re doing Apple □). I purchased two of thesefrom Target and I always kept them plugged in so I could grab one on the go!Įxtra phone chargers. By the time I was ready to go out for the night I was so mad at myself that my phone was on 10%! It’s important to have a charged phone especially if you’ll be out at a bar, fraternity, or somewhere you aren’t familiar with. I can’t tell you how many times I got home from a day of classes and forgot to plug in my phone. Especially if you’re not use to having a house key or ID you need all the time, this helped me remember to bring it with me when I left my dorm! Wristlet. Last year I had a Lilly Pulitzer wristletand this year I decided to buy another because I loved it so much! It’s unbelievably convenient to have all your money, cards, IDs, and keys with you at all times. I highly recommend Kayla Itsines because it’s easy to do in a dorm! Having a medicine ball in my room gave me the chance to workout every once in awhile without having to go all the way to our campus gym. This may seem odd, but a lot of freshman don’t have time (or don’t want to use their free time) to work out. More things you DO need and what you DON’T that I think are worth mentioning: DO NEED: (Check out everything I purchased in this blog post) Clothing: □ Bobby pins School Supplies & Desk Accessories: □ Mattress pad (this will make your bed so much comfier) Food: ![]() □ Toilet paper (dorm toilet paper sucks) Bed: □ Curtain for living room Cleaning Supplies: □ 2 Tall trashcans (one for recycling – trust me both our trashcans filled so fast) → College Packing List ← What to split up among roommates: I typed out all of this info so you can copy and paste, but I also have a pin-able/printable list at the bottom if you want to use that! So let’s get into it… – can we start a petition to allow dogs in dorms? Because my pup wants to go back to school with me □ Make sure to read to the bottom because my readers sent me in their #1 dorm must haves that you need to know about! P.S. Some of this info depends on what size dorm you have, I lived in a suite last year so you may not need all this stuff if you are only living with one person. Because I over-packed I was able to feel confident going into my year and I am now able to help you all decide what to bring and what not to bring to college. My freshman year of college was no exception! My roommates from last year will probably laugh when they read this because they can 100% back me up that I had WAY TOO MUCH STUFF! Honestly though, I don’t regret it. I am a person that is much happier and calmer when I am over prepared for something. ![]()
