College Packing List Essentials

My move in to dorm life is less than a week away! This past week I have been packing every necessity I could think of. There are so many things I use on a daily basis I was not aware of until I began packing and running through my day in my mind. I am slowly coming to the realization that it may not all fit in my car. Fortunately my parents will be helping me move-in so the packing isn’t an issue…yet. Maybe I will meet a nice guy with a big truck who can help me move back in May 😉 ha.
