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!

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.
