As a soon to be freshman in college, I never truly realized how much I would need to survive. I'll also soon realize how many pointless things I will be returning. Whether you are extremely excited about dorm shopping, or completely annoyed the whole time, we all are thinking the same thing.

1. How long was my mom saving all of these Bed Bath and Beyond coupons?

This store is full of college necessities. From bedding to lights, they have it all. As you make your way to the register, your mom becomes coupon crazy and it makes you extremely grateful.

2. It's on sale, I should automatically buy it.

Sales never fail to amaze me. Sales are also everyone's excuse to buy something that odds are, they will never use.

3. My roommates will use/wear this too.

New dress? Roommates will borrow it. Whenever you are dorm/clothes shopping, always remember how your roomies will be sharing with you. You're living together, you might as well keep them in mind and buy enough Ramen noodles for everyone.

4. How is this all going to fit in a car?

I still question this everyday. How does one pack their life and necessities into a car? Somehow everyone does it but the thought of this scares me.

5. Is everyone else buying this much stuff?

When move-in day comes, will everyone be bringing in this much stuff? During orientation I had the biggest bag, so this actually concerns me. The more dorm stuff the merrier, right?

6. How do I unpack all of this?

Moving into a much smaller room with one or two other people is definitely an adjustment. Girls are known to bring more than boys, it's just how we are. Shoutout to my roomies: we will survive.

Move-in day is just around the corner and I can't wait. I will probably be returning half the things I have bought, but it's all worth it in the end. Freshmen year, here we come
