Moving away for the first time is always difficult! There are so many things you could forget. You don't want to be that freshman who forgets their towels and has to air dry next to their new roommate. Here are some things that are probably best to remember.
1. A Keurig, because by the end of the semester even noon classes get hard to wake up for.
2. Makeup so that you can cover the dark circles under your eyes
3. Comfy pillows and a mattress topper because when you take your third nap of the day, it better be great.
4. A Mirror just to check on the way out of the room that you don't look like the hobo you feel like.
5. A mug for your coffee.... or wine.
6. Paper towels for when you inevitably spill your wine...I mean coffee.
7. A bottle of wine for each day of the first week to get yourself acclimated to the college lifestyle.
8. Some cash for when you do find new friends to replenish the wine stash.
9. Plastic shot glasses so you don't have to sneak past our RA to clean your shot glasses
10. Frat shoes so you don't cry about getting frat juice on your Michael Kors wedges the first night
11. Speakers for when you're jamming to your favorite pre-game playlist
12. Band-aids for when your friends inevitably take a tumble walking home on a Saturday night
13. Advil for after the first night of partying
14. Condoms because you don't know know that guy's name from last night, let alone his sexual history
15. Extra blankets because when your friends get sexiled from their room they will be sleeping on your floor/in bed with you
16. Clothes for themed frat parties (mathletes and athletes, toga parties, work out bros and yoga hoes, etc.)
17. Some funky-fresh shower shoes so your feet don't get straight-up funky
18
. Shampoo so you don't go a week with greasy hair before you find the nearest drug store19. A laundry basket so you don't have to carry your ~delicates~ all the way to the laundry room
20. Tide to go because Mom is no longer around to get that weird stain out of your favorite shirt
21. A steamer because you definitely didn't fold that shirt that now has tons of wrinkles
22. TWO sets of sheets because you definitely won't want to do laundry and change your sheets in the same day
23. Mattress protector/bed bug cover...just in case!
24. Tons of workout clothes so you can start everyday saying that you'll totally go to the gym after class
25. Rain boots because walking to class in soaked sneakers is uncomfy
26. Some cheap jewelry for when you find out your roommates sketchy friends stole grandma's pearls
27. Headphones for when you're ready to jam and your roommate is NOT
28. Something to put on your wall (tapestry, pictures, posters) so your room doesn't seem as boring and unwelcoming as you are
29. PJs because sleeping naked does not fly when you have a roommate
30. Plastic utensils/paper plates because there's no way you're going to wash your dishes....ever
31. Snacks/granola bars because you're definitely not waking up in time for breakfast at the dining hall
32. Easy-Mac so you can avoid the mush at the dining hall like the plague
33. Brita because you don't know what's in that water fountain water
34. Blanket for when you're feeling extra ~college~ and want to sit outside in the grass
35. A planner to get your life together once classes actually start
36. Maybe a notebook or two if you find taking notes/passing classes to be a priority in your life
37. Tissues to wipe away the tears when your professor says "12 pages due next week"
38. Calculator to calculate how well you need to do on the next exam in order to pass the semester... instead of actually studying
39. Backpack to ease the crippling load of schoolwork
40.
An external hard drive for when you load your computer up with pictures of you and your new best friends
