Write it Down

When going off to college, one thing that goes straight to the mind before leaving the house is usually " did i remember to get everything i need?". Unfortunately, there is always that one thing that is left behind. Knowing what necessities to bring with you to college is crucial especially since you are living on your own. Preparing with a list is the best way, so you dont forget those last minute items. College is the one place where your parents wont be there to clean your clothes or hear you say you need them to pick something up at the store, so it's always good to remember by writing it down right when you think of it. Thats when post it notes should become your bestfriend. Have one day out of the month or every so many weeks where you go to the store and pick these material items up. Some major items that you should bring in large amounts would be shampoo, body soap, and detergent. Many times when you have roommates or someone who comes to visit for a couple days, you're not the only person who 's using your cleansing items, so buying more than needed is a plus just in case. Keeping up on studying and daily tasks while making sure you have everything you need is way harder than it seems, so try to keep it simple and write it down.
