So you’re moving to college and you don’t even know where to start with the packing, I mean, you may not even know what your campus is like! \u00a0But here is my ultimate college checklist for college dorms and campus living:<\/p>\n
The room that you move into is most likely going to be very similar to a prison cell, so to distinguish your room from your average prison the key is personality. \u00a0I’ll get into a few other ideas in a minute, but first on the list is pictures. \u00a0Print them off online and pin them on your pinboard and stick them on your walls to spice everything up. \u00a0If ticket stubs are your thing, they also work really well: it’s all about adding elements of\u00a0you<\/em> to that room.<\/p>\n \n More often than not your bed will also be your sofa, so you really need to make it somewhere not just comfortable to sleep but also somewhere comfortable to sit and live life. \u00a0A few scatter cushions are really cheap and can transform your bed during the day.<\/p>\n This sounds insane (I know), but if you are in self-catered accommodation many people forget the most basic of things. \u00a0It’s great to have 25 pots and pans but if you can’t eat anything then you really are screwed. \u00a0You can get cheap sets from just about any hardware store, so just pick one up next time you’re there.<\/p>\n There’s a reason every college girl under the sun has fairy lights. \u00a0No one likes those neon strip lights first thing in the morning. \u00a0Grab a few battery-powered packs and some blue-tack and you’re good to go!<\/p>\n \n If you always read in the morning, don’t take no books with you to college. \u00a0You may be moving out but that doesn’t mean you have to throw away everything you already know! Try and keep some of your routines, it will help with homesickness.<\/p>\n This sounds so extra but it’s not. \u00a0At home, you have drawers and places to hang all of your necklaces and stuff, but it won’t be the same at college. \u00a0Buying a jewellery stand can make things tidy and it also looks super cute.<\/p>\n Mom and Dad aren’t here to help you when everything goes to shit now. \u00a0If you have a headache, or you break your arm, it’s on you. \u00a0Buy some cheap painkillers from the supermarket before you go so you are prepared for most problems (and hangovers) that come your way.<\/p>\n Take as many as you have. \u00a0Trust me, the next time you pull an all-nighter at the library you will definitely need it. \u00a0It also adds to that bed-feeling-like-a-sofa thing I mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n \n Unless you want your tampons, razors and face cleaner all jumbled together, that is. \u00a0You can buy them for just a couple of quid and they make you look like you have your whole life together. (It also helps you keep track of what you do\/don’t have).<\/p>\n Whether you share a bathroom or are lucky enough to have your own, get one of these. \u00a0Chances are there won’t be any space to put all of your bottles when you shower, so get one of these to make your job about 50 times easier.<\/p>\n If you’re anything like me, you’ll have about 20 coats, so buy some hooks that hang over your door to hang them all up without breaking the rules of your tenancy and drilling and holes into the walls.<\/p>\n So you’re moving to college and you don’t even know where to start with the packing, I mean, you may not even know what your campus is like! \u00a0But here is my ultimate college checklist for college dorms and campus living: 1.
