Stress Free College Packing For Freshman


Deciding what to take with you when you go off to college may seem like a challenge. By planning ahead, you can make the job simpler and ensure that you have the items you need.

Don't stress too much about having absolutely everything you need the first day. You will be buying a few things when you arrive on campus. Class supplies, personal hygiene products, and the like, can all be purchased as you need them.

Make a list of the items that you are sure to need during your first year. Your list will probably include: a laundry bag or basket, laundry detergent and fabric softener, shower products such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razors, as well as a caddy to put these items in, towels and wash cloths, sleep wear and a robe, clothing for all types of occasions, a first aid kit, a sewing kit, hangers, essential dishes including a plate, bowl, cup, fork, spoon and knife, a can opener, a bottle opener, cleaning items like paper towels, cleansers, sponges, a key-chain, twin XL bedding, a jump drive, a lock for your laptop, a power surge strip, two extension cords, a small oscillating fan, an umbrella, a small fridge, a and a microwave.

Collect all of the items on your list and place them into your packing containers. As you pack each of the items, cross them off of the list. Be sure to wrap any fragile items in bubble wrap or paper to protect them during the move to your dorm room. Label your containers so that you know the contents of each of them. If you have a long trip between your home and your college, you may want to leave some items off of the list until you get to your new location. You can usually purchase shower products and bedding at most department stores.

No matter what your budget or your particular circumstances, there is a split king that will suit you just perfectly. Why Are Split Kings Made?   A split king is made as a solution for comfortable sleeping for a couple. The bed is divided into two sections so that each person has their own customized side of the bed. This would allow for one person to have a firm mattress while the other person has a soft one, or for one person to have an electric blanket while the other one can sleep blissfully in the chilly night air that they prefer.

History of The College Dorm Room

For centuries now, the college experience has long been associated with living in dormitories. From the first university in the United States the modern colleges and universities of today, students have had the opportunity and experience of living with one another at a pivotal time in their lives. All students in dorms are relatively young, typically between 18 and 23 years old, and all of them have a goal of getting a degree in mind. It's an experience that defines those first moments in an adult life, and that helps students learn the importance of responsibility, the benefit of independence and the joys of student camaraderie. However, while the general experience has remained the same, the dorms themselves have changed a lot over the years.
