List of Things For College
71
When I headed off to college, a friend and I got together and compiled this extensive list of what you will need to go off to college. Since then, whenever someone I love goes off to college, for their high school graduation open house, I will give them a laundry basket filled with items they most likely won't realize they need. Also inside the basket, I will add this list to help them better pack for their big adventure off to college.
A few items I often include in the survival kit along with this list are: hangers, dish soap, laundry soap, soft toilet paper, a scrubber for dishes, bathroom cleaning items, cups, plates, plastic utensils, paper towels, post-it notes, a stapler, and the list goes on and on! Each person's care package is different, but they all do contain a laundry basket and this list. So whether you yourself are the one heading off to college or you are sending someone off, feel free to copy and paste this awesome list that has served me well!

Thanks so much for stopping by, I'll have to look into netspend. If I think it's awesome, I might have to post it on an upcoming article I am writing!!

Netspend 22 months ago
Yes! This list is amazing. As a college senior , I remember when I had to pack up and move to school. When I forgot to pack something I ended up making a trip to the store to buy it. Netspend is a popular company that provides prepaid Debit cards. I used it for emergencies and little things. I kept in my wallet and it came in handy many times. Please, everyone who reads this, make a list and seriously consider all the above items. Living area supplies, laundry supplies, and bathroom supplies are very important!
