If you're heading off to college, here are 10 things that you might want to add to your packing list:

1. A Fan

You are basically living in a shoebox and no matter how high you blast the A/C it’s going to get hot sometimes.

2. Salt and Pepper

You won’t realize this is missing from your packing list until you really need it.

3. Sugar

I came to college with a coffee maker, coffee filters, coffee grounds, coffee cups, coffee creamer... and I was really frustrated when I realized I forgot the sugar.

4. Hamper with wheels

You’ll be happy when you don’t have to lug your 50 pound bag of laundry to the other side of the building.

5. A Ramen Cooker

I didn’t know that this existed until a few months ago but it seriously does a better job cooking Ramen in a microwave.

6. A lint roller

No one thinks to pack one of these but you’re probably going to need it at some point.

7. Tools

I have a pink set of tools that I have used a bunch of times throughout my first semester. It came in handy when I needed to measure my closets and windows for curtains and put together my food-cart and floor lamp.

8. Swiffer

You’re going to have to clean the floor of your dorm at some point, and a swiffer is easy to use and easy to store.

9. A designated interview outfit

Interviews can pop-up out of nowhere and you don’t want to be left unprepared and scrambling at the last minute to find an outfit.

10. Indoor/outdoor slippers

I have a pair of Ugg slippers that I wear around my dorm and sometimes outside to grab some food from the dining hall. They’re definitely worth the investment.
