Whether it's your first semester or last semester of college, we could all use a little more of a few things on this list.

1. Toilet Paper

Never before college did I realize how fast toilet paper goes. Before last year, I truly had no idea how bad it can get when four girls share one bathroom. Now that I'm a Sophomore, I've had some time to grasp this idea. Please, NEVER make the mistake of running out toilet paper because no one will come to save your soul when you run out.

2. Socks and/or Underwear

I never had a lot of socks to begin with but now I'm down to one sock with a cat on one and the other with a lion on it. Together, they have acted as my primary pair of socks. In addition, my underwear count goes down far more quickly than my shirt count, jean count, short count, etc. Where is the Underwear Fairy hiding and how can I get what I need back?!

3. Scantrons

It seems that finding scantrons is a real issue for many students. In most cases, large general courses call for many exams via scantron. I have been advised time and time again by professors to always have a few scantrons in hand at least a day or two before the exam day. Otherwise, you'll be running around the school and battling it out for the last few free scantrons available around campus. I remember one time all the scantrons on campus ran out for a few days. Needless to say, it was chaos.

4. PERSONAL SPACE

Whether it's a dorm room, hallway, parking lot, classroom, or really any other place on campus, you will truly learn the value of having your own space. The amount of stimulus on a college campus can become very overwhelming very fast. Everyone is in a rush, everyone has a place they need to be, and everyone has something on their mind. Proceed with caution.

5. Spoons, Forks, Knives, Plates, Mugs, etc.

Since you have limited space, it's going to be much harder to bring an entire kitchen set with you. Be thankful for the two to three mugs you have with you. It's nice to have a meal outside of the cafeteria or food court every now and then. Remember, though, those dishes aren't going to clean themselves and they add up fast.

6. COFFEE

The addiction will only grow stronger as the year progresses.

7. Food

You can never go wrong with hoarding some of the pastries from the cafeteria or buying the family size snack pack that's on sale! Feed your hunger!

8. Energy

You have class from 8 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Then you need to get lunch. Then you need to go get gas. Then you need to go back to class. Then you need to go to the library to study. Then you need to go to the gym. Then you need to eat dinner. Then you need to.... You know how it goes probably. Wow. Adulting is hard.

9. Money

Tuition, textbooks, room and board fees, dorm room necessities, meal plans, an overload of toilet paper, etc. etc. etc. It all adds up fast.

10. TIME

Before you realize it, half the day is gone but it feels like you just started your day ten minutes ago. Time flies. Catch hold of it and make the most of your college years!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
