What do I need for college?

As a request Charline asked me to make a list of things she'll need next year for college. Seeing as I went into this blind I'm more than happy to help others out so they don't have the same experience I did. This list will be sorted out by room and for certain areas there will be farther separation due to suite living or old fashion dorm living.

The bedroom-
What you should realize when preparing to move is that you only have so much space of your own. Do take storage, but only as much as you'll use. Anything beyond that is to much. Also remember that the space you have is shared, so be considerate in how much you take. You don't want the person/people you're living with hate you.

*Bedding (Pillows, pillow cases, several sets of sheets both fitted and loose, a comforter, a spare blanket)
*Back pillow. I can't tell you how many times I sit in bed on my laptop or studying. They cost about $10 but a trip to your chiropractor is more.
*Underbed storage. It will save your life.
*HANGERS!
*Decorations. I can't stress enough how depressing your room is without them.
*A T.V if you want one.
*A DVD player if you want one
*A desk lamp
*A floor lamp
*A full length mirror

The Bathroom
The first set will be for both kids, the second set will be for community, and the third will be for suite.
*Towels! Hand, body, washclothes!
*A robe
*A shower caddy
*a loufa
*Toothbrush
-The next few things buy in bulk!
*Shampoo
*Conditioner
*Body wash
*Deodrant
*toothpaste
*make up cleaner
*face cleanser
*floss
*mouth wash
*tampons/pads
*Hair brush
*Hair ties
*Bobby pins
*Head bands

Second set
*Shower shoes
(I can't really think of anything else...)

Third set
*HAND SOAP!
*Toilet paper
*a trash can
*Shower curtain
*Shower liner
*bath set (bath rug, toilet covering)
*Plunger
*toilet bowl cleaner

Obviously from here on out these are for suite living unless I put a second * by it at the end.

The kitchen
*Cups
*Plates
*Silverware
*Cooking ware
*Pots
*Pans
*Mixing bowl
*Bowls
*Water filter
*Measuring cup
*Measuring tools
*Dish drainer
*Dish soap
*Sponges
*Coffee maker
*Coffee
*Coffee filters
*Sugar
*Creamer
*Toaster
Food wise:
*Bread (YOU WILL FORGET THIS!)
*Eggs (AGAIN! YOU WILL FORGET THIS!)
*Salt and Pepper
*Butter (ANOTHER THING THAT YOU WILL FORGET!)
*Soups
*Rices
*Meals to actually make!
*Noodles
*Condiments

The living room
*A T.V
*A DVD player
*Decorations
*Plants (they make it feel A LOT more home-y)
*A clock
*Extra lamps

Extras/cleaning stuff
*A sweeper
*A fan
*Febreeze
*Any cleaner you can even think of! YOU WILL NEED IT ALL! I PROMISE!

Wardrobe wise
*Pretty much all of it that you'll ever wear. You should have enough room to fit most of it...my roommate did and if she can? Anyone can.
*As for shoes, bring about 2 of every kind. These aren't as easy to find room for.
*Purses? ONLY BRING THE ONES YOU WILL USE! NO OTHERS!
*Scarves? It depends on where you live and how cold it gets.
*DON'T FORGET YOUR COAT!

Also bring your make-up and school supplies!
