<p>I started shopping today. Gosh, it's a pain in the butt but also exciting! I can't wait to start class in the fall, and the most exciting is to have the dorm experience! Woo! So did anyone else start shopping yet?? What are some things that are VERY crucial to bring in the dorms beside the obvious?</p>
<p>lots and lots of money, because you’ll end up finding out that you forgot to buy something, lol</p>
<p>lots of water bottles
clothing, especially some sort of formal suit</p>
<p>earmuffs (you never know)</p>
<p>towels, soap ( I prefer the liquid kind, it’s somewhat hard to carry a bar of soap back and forth to the restroom, it gets all wet and crap)</p>
<p>only thing i bought so far is my laptop and bed sheets.
I’ll probably buy rest of the stuff early next month though</p>
<p>I have bought clothes ,and crap load of notebooks, a back pack. I got a free laptop case. I need to get a laptop/netbook. You can also get a water filter they are 30 bucks at target or it might be cheaper at wally world ( wal mart). the bed sheets ,a desk lamps, a s****t load of cords,hangars</p>
<p>Right now, I just need the small things.</p>
<p>Let’s see what I have that is not “the obvious” o_o

<p>Underwear. You don’t want to be the one without any.
Some lotions are preferred to make your skin feel baby-ish or you can just borrow from your female friends everyday. lol</p>
<p>I made my list from this list I found on the internet. </p>
<p><a href=“http://www.collegebuddy.blogspot.com%5B/url%5D”>www.collegebuddy.blogspot.com</a> - It has like soooo many thing but i’m happy I looked because I realized that if I hadn’t I wouldn’t have remembered to put it on my list. I hope it helps!!! It’s near the bottom of the page.</p>
<p>So much items on that list is unnecessary</p>
<p>I have all the essentials ready, but I need new clothes for the school year.</p>
<p>I remember collegeboard gave me an email yesterday with the shopping list, but I don’t have the link anymore…</p>
<p>I posted it on the fb group maybe</p>
