Packing Lists

did you JUST type that all up or find it somewhere or was it your own list

It's my packing list from when I went away to college for my first year--I had it saved to my computer! I did add a few things--mostly ones I wished I'd thought of then.

When I went away to college the first time, I moved about 3/4 of it in when I first moved in, then went home/had my parents visit/had fall break or something (I can't remember) and brought the rest (it was already packed).

Then there was Christmas, and I brought more back.

Over spring break, I took part of it home. My parents visited once in the spring and took more back. Then my mom picked me up.

I wouldn't recommend doing that -you're always moving, and you have too much stuff.

Life didn't become manageable for me in the dorms/on campus until I was living there year round and had my car.

Also, be prepared now - you're probably going to buy a bunch of crap that you're never going to use.

Ah, thank you all for your help. I've been able to make a good dent in my packing and my mother is no longer tempted to kick my butt.
