Ok...soo..here's my bit on what to bring and what not to bring:
Don't bring...
-too many plates and cups and all. YOU WON'T DO DISHES AS OFTEN AS YOU THINK. Trust me. At my school, everyone just took all the disposable styrofoam stuff and plastic utensils from the commons. You will never go back to all your stuff you brought.
-Too many shoes. I brought like 35 pairs and going to school by the beach, I basically wore sandals every day that I rolled out of bed for class.
- Books to read for enjoyment-you will not have time to read them.
What everyone is always borrowing from each other since they forget/run out..
-enough hangers
-detergent
-QUARTERS... this will be your most valued currency in college. You will actually pay a dollar for a 25 cent item just to get those 3 quarters back instead of giving up one.
-laundry basket (to carry all your clothes to the laundry room)
-sweatshirts-the lazy wear of choice. Your motivation to dress up cute for class is dramatically lower than it was in HS. You just want something clean and comfortable for the 9 AMs.
-gym clothes & running shoes(if you work out)
-scissors
-staplers
-first aid kit
-small tool kit
-movies
And what to never forget!
-socks and underwear (You laugh, but I had to have a package of white socks and underwear shipped to me since I was too busy remembering white boards, peacoats and TV/VCRs!It was so pathetic.)
- LYSOL DISINFECTANT SPRAY AND WIPES- You will use this almost every day of your dorm life! I swear. For the random spills and the odor that builds up mysteriously in everyone's dorm.
-Candles from illuminations
-a lock for your laptop and an ethernet PC card
-A car if possible. This depends on where you go to school. If you're heading to the east coast, then don't worry about this. But if you are on the went coast, you will make many friends having a car. Haha.
