Today concludes my first week of being a college student at Villanova. To celebrate, I've compiled a list of things that are important t have in college. These are all items that either myself or my friends have forgotten, but prove to be very important. From command strips to a hole puncher, here are 11 things you don't wanna forget to bring to college.

1. Command strips

Tape is not allowed, so you need LOTS of command strips. They come in handy for everything!

2. Step stool

The beds in most dorms are high, so a step stool is very important to easily get up and down.

3. Food

Between meals, you are bound to get hungry or get a Cheez-It craving.

4. Gum

We all have breath problems from time to time, so having gum on hand is imperative.

5. Games

Forget the frat parties and getting drunk. The REAL parties are playing Monopoly in your dorm room.

6. Doorstop

The best way to make friends in college is to leave your dorm door open. It's like an open invitation to come in your room and make friends!

7. Extension cord

Outlets are limited, so you are going to need extension cords.

8. Curtains

Most closets don't have doors, so you need a shower curtain to cover up everything and make it look neat.

9. Planner/Calendar

A lot of high schools give students agenda planners, so don't forget to boy one yourself for college.

10. Seat cushion

The desk chairs in the dorms are not comfy, so bring a seat cushion to be kind to your booty.

11. Hole puncher

Teachers will not usually hole punch paper handouts, so bring one yourself.

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.
