I have made a short list about what to bring to college, even though I am but a small freshman who has never lived in a dorm and I have no idea if any of this is correct. This is the most random list ever and most of it I probably won't even need, but here goes.
I'm emphasizing the SHORT of this list because I'm supposed to be packing right now. #procrastination
1. A Lamp (or 3, like me)
Giphy
Yes, I'm bringing 3 lamps. It's a bit overkill, but one is a desk lamp, one clips onto my bed and one is shaped like a pug. (She's my emotional support dog and her name is Bagel.) Lighting is important so I don't strain my eyes and I've gone this long without needing glasses so I'd prefer to continue that way.
2. Toiletries
GiphyI know this is a no-brainer, but until like yesterday I completely forgot I needed to bring shampoo. And a new toothbrush... And toothpaste. The list goes on. DON'T. FORGET. TOILET PAPER.
3. Snacks
GiphyMy mom is a queen because she bought me popcorn and fruit snacks. I bought a cart for my snacks and laundry detergent (DON'T FORGET THOSE EITHER) and I completely forgot snacks. ALSO A MINI FRIDGE. My awesome roommate already bought ours 'cause she's also a queen who knows I'm broke.
4. A Rug
what even is this gif?
GiphyI, unfortunately (and accidentally), bought a rather small rug for the room. BUT it's still a rug, which is SO necessary.
I think.
Well, hardwood floors get really cold right? I don't sleep in socks like a psychopath, so sleepy feet on a cold floor is a mistake.
5. A Keurig
Giphy
A Keurig is not only for the blessed drink called coffee, it can also be used for tea, AND SOUP. THAT'S CORRECT: SOUP. Instead of putting a coffee pod in the thingy, just leave it out and put soup mix in a bowl for hot water, AND VIOLA. You can thank me when you're sick and don't feel like moving farther than the bathroom.ALSO, don't forget instant soup mix.
6. Power strip/Surge protector/Extension cords
GiphyI have like 4 of these, because why not? Fairy lights aren't gonna power themselves.
I hope you've enjoyed my absolute ignorance in this article because I did not.
I haven't even moved in or started classes yet and I'm already exhausted.
*sobs*
