Hey guys! This is a follow up to my last post...and it is all about what you should pack for college. The below items were all lifesavers in many ways and are items that I highly recommend packing.
1. Pyrex Cup--> I used this every single day. Pyrex is microwave safe, so it can cook just about anything that needs to be cooked in the microwave. It is also great for warming up soup, water etc. I also used it to make coffee in because my mug was too large for my coffee maker. Honestly, I can not event think of all the reasons I used this at school, but it was my favorite item
2. Sponge--> Washing dishes in the sink by hand is just not the same as washing them in the dishwasher. After a week or so, I had my mom ship me up a sponge to wash my dishes with. It got them a little bit cleaner than just my hands, which I appreciated because I was starting to feel gross despite washing my dishes every day.
3. Re-Useable Water bottle--> This is something that I did not think of ahead of time and had to pick up at school. Many dorms are not air conditioned and it can get very hot, even in the winter months. This water bottle was a life saver for me. I used it all of the time because my room was so hot and it was just so much easier (not to mention better for the environment) to reuse the bottle then to have to worry about keeping a case of water in the room. P.S lugging that case from the grocery store to the room probably would not have even been possible, and that may be the case for you too, so just invest in a re-usable water bottle.
4. Large Duffel Bag--> I know it is tempting to send this home with your parents after moving in. Don't. Store it under the bed or something, you will need it. When I went home and had to change out cloths, or wanted to restock on food, this was so needed.
5. A FAN--> This goes along with number 3. Dorm rooms can get pretty hot. You are going to need a fan.
6. Extra Coffee--> You would be surprised how much coffee you end up making in your room if you are a coffee lover, especially if you are at a big school. At a large university, a midnight coffee run is just not practical. Make sure you are all stocked up so that you do not run out when you need something to keep you up to study for that last test.
7. Long Winter Coat--> Obviously, if you are at a school in a warm climate, this does not apply. However, if you are at a school known for the cold weather, bring a knee length winter coat. It gets pretty cold at schools in a cold climate, and you will need it. Also, bring it up earlier than you might break out the winter coat at home.
More to come!
