COLLEGE STUDENTS! read please!

I've been trying to make a list of all the things I need to pack for my dorm room but I feel like there are a ton of things I am missing. For any college student, past college student or even future college student:

What things did you bring with you to your dorm?I already have alot of the basics: sheets, pillows, a TV, a DVD player, of course my ( Read more... )

1. Does your dorm have air conditioning? If not, bring a fan. The end of summer months are always too hot, and they always turn the heat up too high in the winter. It's a good investment.
2. An extra toothbrush never hurts, you never know with toothbrushes.
3. Power strip/extension cord. Phone cord. Ethernet cord. Cords all around. Even if they don't allow some cords, bring them anyway, rooms usually only get inspected dueing vacation periods.
4. Flip flops for the shower. Community bathrooms are the worst.
5. Super glue. Seriously, that stuff comes in handy, especially when you're getting your room settled in.

And there are the top five things that I forgot to being my first time around, and life was so much harder with out them. (until I went to the sture, that is.)

Oh, and it never hurts to have a bathrobe either.

I'm Allison. I just realized why you asked this, I had forgotten about leaving that comment in your journal. Yeah, this is going to be a rather long explaination. lol. Umm I'm dating Tyler Brantley and somehow I stumbled across your journal one day and realized that you were the Katie that Tyler dated. We looked through your journal a little then decided to leave a comment, I guess to be assholes? I don't really know why. lol. I wasn't even going to respond to this but now as I look back I realize that was a pretty shitty thing to do. But I guess after reading some of the stuff in your journal it brought up some weird feelings, especially when I was reading some pretty negative stuff about ME! But it is your journal so I understand why you would write the things you did. I also commented back because I wanted to say that I hope you don't think of Tyler as a horrible person. I know what he (well, both of us) did was wrong but he never ment to hurt you. Even as he and I began to develope feelings for each other (which was kinda out of ( ... )
