The College Packing List (of Everything You Probably Forgot)
Thinking back three years ago, I remember the excitement I felt about moving off to school and living in the dorm. Dorm life isn’t all that great, but I’d be living on my own for the first time, and my future roommate and I were talking every day about things we needed for the dorm, things we already had, etc.
It’s funny now, when I thought of this post, I asked her “what did we forget for our dorm?” Well, I’m one of those people who can usually think of everything that I need, and my roommate from freshman year is the same way.
Thankfully, I had some awesome blogger friends who helped me think of some things that you probably won’t think of bringing until you get to your dorm (or even your apartment).
22 Things You May Not Remember
- water filter
- pepper spray
- shower shoes
- command hooks
- bags for shopping
- bug spray
- air freshners
- trash bags
- extra batteries
- Flashlight
- clorox wipes
- mini vaccuum
- extension cords
- extra phone charager
- first aid kit
- 3m strips
- ethernet cord
- step stool
- dryer sheets
- ear plugs
- Ziplock bags
- A swifter
- paper towels
I know, some of these won’t apply to everyone, but it’s always the little things I forget to grab before I move. If you’re still panicking about what else to bring to your dorm, here’s a great article from The Blogging Brew full of the basics and the expanded things to bring.
I’d also like to thank these ladies for suggesting some ideas.
Brittany from Southern Soul | Savannah from Always, S | Megan from Bowtiful Life | Mikkaela from The Southwestern Prepster | Kristine from My Little Box of Tricks | Laney from Modern Laine | and my roommate from freshman year, Brooke
