odyssey

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!

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
