First Look Into Dorm-Life: A Short List of Essentials

And a Few You Might Want...

(in no specific order...)

by Katie

1). Towels and washcloths!!! (During Orientation, my co-blogger and I completely spaced on towels. Thank god my mom was there to save the day!!)

2). Fan (Again, Orientation opened our eyes to a lot of things. The thermostat was broken so during the afternoon, the room was super hot but luckily it cooled down during the night.)

3). Shower shoes (One look at the bathroom floor will reassure you that those dollar sandals were totally worth it.)

4). Multi-outlet power strips (Duh...but seriously, I expected a lot more outlets in the dorm room we stayed in but there were seriously two accessible ones by the bed. It's definitely necessary for people with multiple devices.)

5). More than one pillow (Okay, you might think I'm a total idiot but I seriously only brought one pillow to Orientation and I had to make a late night trip to Walmart so I could sleep.)

6). Headphones (There was a party downstairs so I went to Walmart and bought Beats... highly recommended because they are the best thing since Chicken Nuggets, I swear. <I did not specifically buy Beats because of the party, though. I really wanted them.>)

7). Dry Shampoo (I woke up late, okay?)

8). Drinks (I bought a case of Yoohoo for the dorm because I was tired of going downstairs every time I was thirsty.)

9).  Comfortable T-Shirts (That aren't Pajamas, so it's okay to ride the elevator without looking like a complete slob.)

10). Makeup (I forgot it in the car, not the house so this doesn't really count--does it?)
