Packing and getting ready for college can be stressful and hard to adjust to…but there 15 things that you 100% won’t be able to survive college without. With these 15 things, your first semester will be smooth sailing.
Between going to class, work, and juggling a social life, obligations can become difficult to keep track of. A planner will really come in handy when your schedule gets hectic, especially for the first few weeks of the semester before you get more used to your routine.
College is no time to forget about health. Keep a reusable water with you to keep hydrated on and off campus.

If you have a few of these around, you won’t have to do laundry every other day.
Keep your apartment ultra-organized by using storage bins rather than throwing things under your bed or in your closet. Many college apartments don’t have a lot of space to spare.
What better way to look chic and professional at job interviews and meetings with professors than to dress up your outfit with a blazer?
You’ll need a fancy dress, or two, or three. There will be events that require formal dress, and you’ll want to look your best.
