It's back to school time and students should already have a basic list of necessities for living on campus like a comforter, pillow and soap. However, there are a few things that aren't as common but are very essential! These essentials will most probably leave you feeling like you have your college life together.
1. Costumes (Hawaiian Shirt, Ugly Christmas Sweater, Sports Jersey)
Costumes or clothes like Hawaiian shirts, ugly Christmas sweaters, sports jerseys, etc. are essential in college for themed parties and events.
2. Hand Sanitizers
Bathrooms around campus usually never have soap, so carry your own sanitizer to be prepared.
3. Power Strip
You'll never know how many outlets or power strips will be available to you in your dorm so it's best to bring your own. Also, you can keep all of the cords around your room more organized.
4. Netflix, Hulu, Etc.
These will come in handy on nights that you decide to stay in.
5. Cheap Pair of Sunglasses
You will probably get too drunk and lose a nice pair and you will regret wearing them.
6. Bar/ Frat Party Shoes
These shoes can be any shoes you'd like, but you would have to be okay with getting these dirty.
7. Flask
Alcohol is hard to get into crowded places.
8. Coupon Book
This is probably one of the most important items on the list you'll need because it'll help you save money and will come in handy.
9. Monogrammed Water Bottle
Because they're cute and you'll know which water bottle belongs to you.
10. Coffee Maker
Don't bother with coffee pots! Get a coffee maker like a Keurig 1-cup mini brewer. It's really simple and you'll save time. All you need to do is place a coffee cup in, press "brew" and you're done!
