Previously on Freshman Declassified: I just introduced the series!
Hey guys! So as promised, I am back to do another college related post. This post is going to be all about what you do NOT need to take with you to college. I know it can be tempting to take literally everything you own, but trust me, you do not need it all taking up space. Here is a list of five dorm dust collectors that you should not take with you. *Disclaimer, this is through my experience. Something on this list might really seem like an essential to you. If it is, then please take it with you! This is nothing absolute!*
1. High Heels---> Especially if you are going to a big school. Any college involves a lot of walking. The bigger the school, the more the walking. I honestly never put on a pair of heels. When I needed dressy shoes, I always opted for fancy flats instead. Heels are just not practical when you have to walk a long distance to your destination.
2. Gold Jewelry--> Yes it is most likely safe in your dorm, but that does not stop it from falling off. This is not high school where you can retrace your steps and find your lost earring. If you have gold jewelry, or jewelry that is expensive or sentimental, wear it when you are at home. Don't risk loosing it at school. There is plenty of costume jewelry that looks amazing that you will not feel as bad about loosing.
3. Smoothie Makers/Choppers/Fancy Cooking Devices--> You just realistically will not have enough time most nights to break out a machine and make food. On the nights you do have extra time, you will probably want to go out with your friends. Save the space, it is worth it.
4. Excess Spa Night Products--> Again, it is just not practical to fit in a weekly spa night at school. Honestly, it is not really even practical to fit in a monthly spa night. If you want to bring a face mask or two, go for it, but you will never use the whole at home spa kit.
5. Back-Up Make-Up Products--> If you are like me, and you love make-up, you might have a lot of it and it is very hard to part with the whole collection when you go off to school. When I went away to school, I tried to pear it down as much as possible and I really did not thing I took very much. Realistically, I used about half of what I brought. Make sure you have everything you use on a daily basis, but honestly, you do not need the big collection and variety and back-ups. There just is not enough room for the one day you decide to switch up your concealer.
Next I will be posting about essential to take with you to college. Hope this helps, and happy packing!
