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!

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
