The college lifestyle is definitely a change filled with more freedom and independence.There is a long packing list that comes when moving to your college dorm. Below are a list of products that are extremely practical and useful for college life that I did not realize beforehand.
1. Adhessive Cellphone Card Holder
These card holders carry my entire life. At one point or another, it has held my credit cards, dorm key, ID card, and driver's license. It is a great way to keep your cards in a handy place always available for your uses. However, just remember to replace it, when the adhessive part begins to lose its stick!
2. Venmo
It truly is the easiest way to pay back friends and family to the exact penny if necessary.
3. Calendar
As unorganized and messy as I am, a calendar was something that I inevitably needed. It helped me plan out and remind myself of important dates, tests, meetings, and exciting nights out planned. It allowed me to organize and plan accordingly in time for my events.
4. Disinfectant Wipes
From all the sticky spills to dusty window edges, disinfectant wipes become your best friend throughout the messy college semester.
5. Outlet Extension Cord
With the few outlets available in hard to reach awkward places, an extension cord was extremely helpful. It is necessary for my plethora of electrical products used for the printer, computer, phone, lamp, and hair straightener.
6. Picnic Blankets
A picnic blanket is an easy and comfy solution to the itchy grass and stains from dirt patches that come with laying out on the lawn and other grassy areas. Many students go out on the lawn to suntan, play spike ball, do homework, and hang out with friends.
