15 Things You Now Officially Know You Totally Did Not Need For Fall Semester

In This Article:

Whether it's the first time or the fourth time you're moving into college for the fall semester, you want to cover all of your bases and pack up your entire room so that you're prepared for any possible situation. Now that it's mid- October I bet you're realizing that there are plenty of things that didn't need to make the trip.

1. 16 pairs of jeans

Let's face it, you wear leggings 5/7 days of the week anyway. 4 pairs would have more than sufficed.

2. All of your makeup

80% of it has gone untouched, right? Next time, just pack your everyday makeup and leave the fancy stuff for weddings.

3. Your entire shoe collection

How many times have you worn your nicest pairs of heels on campus so far? None. What about the 7 pairs of sneakers you had to pack?

4. A Keurig and 100 K- Cups

You just bought coffee everyday, didn't you? It's just dusty and taking up space on your desk.

5. 18 blankets

It's not even really cold out yet. 1 or maybe 2 blankets is plenty.

6. 10 Pillows

Do you even make your bed ever? They're probably just on the floor.

7. Bed risers

Were they really necessary?

8. 11 sweatshirts

You know you only wear your favorite two.

9. High school apparel

You just wear your college sweatshirts anyway.

10. Tons of dresses

It got to fall temperature pretty quickly and you didn't want to wear a dress anyway.

11. Excessive decorations

It looks super cute, but you didn't need all of it.

12. Every shirt you own

You just don't have room for it all or ever wear half of it.

13. Copious school supplies

A few pens and a notebook for each class is fine. Leave the paperclips, push pins, stapler, and binder clips at Staples

14. An iron

Be honest. have you ironed one thing so far?

15. Lots of jewelry

If you wear the same earrings and bracelets everyday at home, why did you think that would change at school?

We've all made these mistakes, haven't we?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
