#1

A flashlight is a good thing to have in general, but can be especially crucial in your dorm room. They鈥檙e great for everyday purposes: Looking through your storage under your bed, or finding something in the dark while your roommate鈥檚 asleep. Additionally, your res hall鈥檚 power is bound to go out at least once during the school year. Ten points to Gryffindor for having one of these on hand when it does! Twenty points if you say 鈥淟umos鈥� as you turn it on.

Floor pillows are a must when it comes to dorm room hang outs. Nobody wants to sit criss-cross-applesauce on your cold tile floor, and when you get to the point where you have seven of your friends all duking it out for bed space after your desk chair is taken, you鈥檒l be ready with this hipster听seating alternative.

Yes, even in the magical land that is 91制片厂, it will rain on occasion. And no, 鈥淚t was raining,鈥� is not an acceptable excuse to skip class. Make sure you have an umbrella and some rain boots so you don鈥檛 have to spend your day looking like a grumpy wet cat. (If you don鈥檛 know what this looks like, google 鈥渨et cat鈥� 鈥斕�.)

Make your own college-ready first aid kit that includes Band-Aids, disinfectant, aloe, tweezers, anti-itch cream (for bug bites), cough drops, TUMs听and some over-the-counter pain reliever. This kit is a life-saver (figuratively)! And for anything it doesn鈥檛 cover, you can always pay a visit to 听Wellness.

#5

Do the environment a favor and bring along some reusable shopping bags. When you head downtown to pick up Post-It notes, Cheetohs, and laundry detergent (or whatever else is on your dorm life grocery list), you can do it in style.

Batteries: You don鈥檛 need 鈥檈m, 鈥檛il you need 鈥檈m. Am I right, folks? Your TV remote, wireless mouse, electric candles, alarm clock听and probably your roommate will all thank you for it.

#7

This may come as a shock, but you will actually have to clean things on occasion. Namely, your dorm room. Don鈥檛 go overboard on this; some Klorox wipes, dish soap听and carpet cleaner can go a long way! Bonus points for an air freshener and a To-Go stain stick.

#8

As unappealing as it is, invest in at least one business-casual outfit. You will need one at some point, whether for an interview, job fair,or in-class presentation. You鈥檒l save yourself a lot of time the night before, when you鈥檙e not asking everyone on your floor if you can borrow a navy blue blazer.

Especially at the beginning of the fall semester, you鈥檒l be spending a lot of time outside! At U-Day, Fall Fest听and just hanging on T-Hall Lawn, make sure you鈥檙e armed with sunscreen and bug spray! Seriously. If you go to the outdoor movie night without bug spray, this will be you:

Whether or not your dorm room has air conditioning, it鈥檚 a good idea to bring a stand-up fan for the one week before winter comes (a little New England humor for you there). Bonus points if it oscillates, so you and your roommate don鈥檛 have to take turns angling it towards your side of the room.

#11

As great as the 91制片厂 dining halls are, they do have to close sometimes. You can use your Dining Dollars or Cat鈥檚 Cache to stock up on dorm food at Wildcatessen and the Philly Cafe! Try to include some healthy options among your Doritos and microwaveable mac and cheese听for when you鈥檙e snacking during your late night study sessions.

#12

You would be surprised how often you听or somebody in your hall needs a screwdriver. Whether you鈥檙e a regular handyman (or woman, or person), or you can鈥檛 tell a socket wrench from a spud wrench, having a mini tool kit on your college packing list will basically make you the Ron Swanson of your dorm floor.

This one seems obvious, but for some reason, buying a pencil sharpener rarely comes to mind when buying pencils. Be prepared for anything your classes will throw at you and stock up on paper clips, binder clips听and push pins for your bulletin board. And 鈥斕齀鈥檓 only going to say this once 鈥斕齋TAPLES + A STAPLER. You can thank me later.

Make sure you have all the right cords and cables to plug your computer into your TV听and your TV into your cable port, and to hook up all your Playstation Nintendo X-Cube nonsense.

And last, but not least, don鈥檛 forget your shower shoes! Any waterproof sandals or flip flops will do, just as long as they cover the bottoms of your feet when you hop in the shower you share with 12+ other college students.
