College is just around the corner, and as your start packing your bags here's a few things you shouldn't forget before the big move.

1. Command Strips

Almost every college I've heard of doesn't allow holes in the walls. That includes thumb tacks, screws, and even the occasional out-of-rage punch. Therefore, the beauty of Command Strips comes into play. They can honestly hold up anything, pictures, electrical cords, you name it.


2. Hangers

Trust me on this one, don't think you'll bring too many hangers, because you won't. Hangers disappear like lint under the couch, and they're basically worth gold in the college world.


3. Pictures

Memories are forever, and they hold a special place in everyones heart. When you're having a rough day, it can easily be mended by looking at your dog from back home or a picture of your friends.


4. Hand Sanitizer

This baby cleans off everything. Germs, marker stains and even furniture. I know my roommate and I cleaned our floor with hand sanitizer and it worked like a charm.


5. Your Parents

Let's be honest, college is expensive. If you're fortunate enough to have a support financial system pushing you through school you can't forget them. Make sure to thank them for all their love, kindness and in addition money.

I love you guys so so much, thank you for everything!

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
