Every time move-in rolls around, I always start my list of essentials, and every year I seem to forget things anyway. There are always those little things you forget that you'll need at some point down the road, whether it be as soon as you move in or three months into school.
Here are 10 of the necessities that college students always tend to forget:
1. Ziploc Bags
You might wanna pack a snack, be taking your toothbrush somewhere, or anything else. You always need one but never have one.
2. Tape
You may not be able to use it on your dorm walls, but you'll be doing an assignment and tear your paper or need it for a project.
3. Hair ties
Eventually the extra one on your wrist will break, and then what?
4. Hangers
More hangers than what you use. Because all of a sudden you'll have to hang more stuff if you do not have enough drawer space. Also, you accumulate more and more clothes during the year. Can't just steal them from Mom's closet anymore.
5. Ruler
Your professors won't just hand those out in class anymore.
6. Organizers
For things like pens/pencils, jewelry, hair stuff, etc. Can't just have everything rolling around in the same drawer. Trust me, it's a mess.
7. Medicines
Maybe some cold medicine or even ibuprofen. These are things you forget about until you get sick for the first time... desperately.
8. Hygiene products
Any and all, especially feminine hygiene products.
9. Containers
Having to throw away left over food is the worst, especially when there is a lot left and nothing to keep it in.
10. Dish washing products
You'll have to wash everything by hand, so don't forget a sponge and some soap!
