If you are ready to go off to college then you are going to need to
take several things with you for your dorm room. After all, keep in
mind; you aren’t going off to college for just a week or so but for
a whole year before possibly returning home for the summer. The
following list will help you when you begin to pack for
college.
· You will need a refrigerator and microwave. Hopefully
someone bought you these items for college going away gifts or
graduation gifts. If not, then you need to try to get your hands on
these things.
If you can’t afford a microwave, then a small toaster oven will
do for now and you will likely want a crock pot for soups and
stews.
· Don’t forget to pack a coffee maker. If you aren’t a coffee
drinker now, you are likely to be soon!
· Beanbags are great college dorm seats for comfortable
furniture that you can move around.
· Lamps will be a must in most college dorms.
· Depending on the dorms you are going to be living in, you
may want a ceiling fan or at least window fans.
· Pack all of your clothing and linens. Don’t forget your
comforters and blankets.
· Pack all of the can foods your parents will allow you
take.
· If anyone asks you what you want for a belated graduation
present—tell them gift cards to Wal-Mart because you’ll need them
later!
· Stereos, your television, clock radio and a telephone will
be items you are likely to forget but will want nonetheless.
· Take some wallpaper to make your dorm room feel like
home!
· Plenty of pens, paper, notebooks, pencils, pencil sharpener
and other office supply items.
· Computer and printer as well as a scanner if possible.
Why not pack some fun items like your old pearl or Brautschmuck necklace. If that sounds crazy you'll
soon realise we were right when your see some of the
ecentricities that surface during your college years.
Anything you use at home, you will likely want to take with you
once you decide to leave home for college. Take the time to pack
well in advance so you will notice the things that you are leaving
behind. You’ll want to pack pictures of your family and high school
friends.
You’ll want to take favorite things such as a favorite painting
or your CD collection. Remember, you will be away for sometime.
Take the time to plan your extended trip to college and make room
in your luggage for the things you need and the things you
love!
