As "Summer Seventeen" is coming to a close, it's time to get ready for the next chapter of our lives and one of the hardest ways to do so is by packing. Deciding what to bring and what not to bring is a constant struggle. And those things that you don't NEED to bring, but REALLY want to, will somehow make their way with you to college...

1. Your dog

2. Or cat

3. A coffeemaker

4. The guy at Starbucks who knows your name and makes your coffee in the morning

5. BAGELS... so many bagels

6. Every pair of leggings you own because you don't want them to get lonely

7. That tank top you haven't worn since that one time freshmen year

8. And the heels you wore to junior prom...

9. Might as well bring a nice dress

10. Or two

11. Or three

You can never have too many

12. An ironing board for those nice dresses

Wrinkled dresses are so not cute

13. Can't forget Mom

14. OK... If you're bringing Mom, might as well squeeze Dad in there too

Who knows what kind of bugs live out there?

15. Oh and Grandma's secret chocolate chip cookie recipe

16. Butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla, chocolate chips, and an oven

17. Fidget Spinners

18. A personal body guard

19. The 102 colored pencils set your aunt gave you for your ninth birthday

20. A toaster for avocado toast

21. Every single stuffed animal you've owned since you came out the womb

22. Speakers and strobe lights for a lit time

23. Your favorite Bath & Body Works Candle

24. And the matching scented hand soap

25. A Razor scooter for traveling across campus

26. Your own wifi router

So you won't have to deal with sucky wifi

27. The work of art you made in Kindergarten with an interpretation of your family

28. A life size cardboard cutout of Justin Bieber circa 2010

You just need somebody to love
