Do's & Don'ts of College Living

The Do's & Don'ts

 for a smooth comfortable College living experience

 College life is a transformative experience filled with moments of growth, learning, and occasional regret over choices made, especially when it comes to packing for the journey ahead.

 As freshmen across campuses gear up for their new chapter, there's a perennial list of items that students wish they had or hadn't brought along.

Among the "wish I did bring" items, a reliable laptop reigns supreme. Whether for taking notes in lecture halls or pulling all-nighters in the library, a good laptop is the college workhorse. Another regret-free inclusion is a versatile wardrobe, blending comfort with style for impromptu outings or campus events.

Yet, amidst the sea of "did brings," there emerges a chorus of "wish I didn't." High on this list are excess clothes and shoes. Reality quickly sets in as dorm closets overflow, leaving students yearning for space. Similarly, kitchen gadgets often collect dust as cafeteria dining and air fryer meals become the norm.

Then there are the intangibles, the emotional baggage some wish they'd left behind. Procrastination tops this list, a common nemesis in the face of newfound freedom. Time management skills become paramount as deadlines loom and social calendars fill up.

For many, college becomes a rite of passage marked by both tangible and intangible lessons. As students unpack their bags and settle into dorm life, they navigate the delicate balance of wants versus needs. In this chapter of self-discovery, what they choose to bring—or leave behind—often shapes not only their living space but also their college experience as a whole.

Here's a list of items that many college students wish they had brought with them.
