FOR those moving out for
college, packing up your things is the most exciting and stressful part. You
are in a dilemma of what to bring with you and what to leave behind.
I honestly am an over packer
so here is a list of some essentials I have come up with to guide you in
packing and in avoiding that excess baggage probs at the airport.
Bring from home
-Basic clothing and shoes:
this includes two weeks’ worth of undergarments and socks, jammies, workout
clothes, comfy shirts and some flats and sandals. If your school don’t have
uniforms I suggest bringing clothes that you can mix and match, include some
cardigans and accessories so you won’t need to bring a lot of items just to
look different.
-Semi-formal clothing and
shoes: college parties usually happen during the first two months so better be
prepared.
-Sneakers: PE Class
essential and for some fitness motivation
-Swimsuit, hair cap and
googles: another PE class essential
-Your gadget’s chargers: you
don’t wanna come to school with empty batteries!
-Prescription meds and a
list of your doctors: need I say more?
Buy at school
-Bathroom caddies or
toiletry bags: unless you have your own bathroom this is very important
especially if you are sharing a bathroom with other people.
-Bath robe, towels, pillows
and beddings: these tend to be very bulky to pack so it is much better to buy
it when you get to your school.
-Slippers: buy one
specifically for bathroom use, you don’t wanna go barefoot in a foreign
bathroom.
-Pail, tabo,hanger and clothespins: for your clothing and laundry needs.
-Extension cords and
adapters: not all plugs in your dorm room are accessible.
-Plate, bowl, mug and
kitchen utensils: for your noms.
-Disinfectant spray and
multi-insect killer: These will be your best friend to help you fight germs,
mosquitoes and COCKROACHES.
-Water heater: we have come
up with a lot of uses for this before we cook some instant noodles in it,
hardboiled eggs and of course coffee and tea fixes. I suggest buying one with a
flat heating surface rather than a coil one so you can cook some instant meals
easily.
My list seriously goes on
but these are the essential things that I think a college student needs as per
experience.
Hope this helps all of the incoming college students out there.
Jotting
down your essentials and the things that you want to bring ahead of time can
really help in making sure that you do not leave anything behind.
