As the time of dorm shopping and college-readying rolls around, a lot of you may be wondering what exactly should be brought. What is too much, and what is essential?

There are so many things you might need or not need for school depending on if your dorm has a common room and kitchen, or if you're going into an apartment like I did. What you can't forget is making your dorm or apartment feel like home. Personalize it with a few things from your old room and with pictures of family and friends. Don't forget any sentimental things you know you would regret not taking. No one will judge you for having a stuffed animal or two, contrary to popular belief.
Let me know down below what you think is essential and suggested for going to college!
Thanks for reading,
