Packing for college is overwhelming.
There are so many lists online of everything you need from A to Z.
Instead of listing what you already know, here is a list of some things you forgot you need to pack. And no, they are not in alphabetical order.
- Rain boots and Ponchos
- The class isn’t canceled if it’s raining. You are still expected to be there.
- Bug spray
- Sporting events are outside and so are a lot of college bars. Get some unscented bug spray and you won’t regret it.
- Duct Tape
- This needs no explanation
- Clorox Wipes
- These can clean anything and everything. Seriously, wipe your counters down before your parent’s visit and watch in amazement as they think you are responsible.
- Double of anything bathroom related
- Think toothbrush, shampoo, etc., you won’t remember before you run out so just have the next bottle ready. Also, you’re more than likely going to drop your toothbrush.
- Sunscreen
- Take care of yourself. College is four years but you have that skin for life.
Packing for college is essentially packing for survival but with shelter. It’s a whole new world, so be prepared and try to think of things beforehand.
