I couldn't find one of these if it's been made already, so...
College-goers, here's a small attempt at making a little check-list for things that are absolutely vital in your survival of college. In no particular order:
1) The obvious stuff - Clothes, duh? It's still illegal in most places to run around naked, so this might be a big one for some of you.
2) Pair of $5 flip-flops from Wal-Mart - Why? Because, if you're living in the dorms, the bathroom floors (i.e. the showers) are nasty. You don't have any idea what's been going on in there, so it's a good idea not to step in it. Wear the sandals while you're in the shower at all times.
3) You can pretty easily get by an entire semester of classes with ONE of those 5-Subject notebooks, even if you're a pretty hardcore note-taker. You might want to get an extra "one subject" notebook if you know theres a class you might struggle in and feel the need to write down every single word your professor says.
4) A computer with a printer - I can't stress the handiness of having a computer in your dorm, plus, with a printer you can type and print out all your essays and assignments without having to spend too much energy. Also, in going with #3, it seems a lot of professors perfer assignments to be written in pen, so stock up on those. I think I went through maybe 3 pencils the entire year. Plus, if you've got a decently beefy computer with some decent speakers, you can negate bringing a big stereo with you by playing all your music on the 'comp.
5) PS2, Xbox, NES, SNES, whatever - Game systems make up for the passing of a lot of time in college, especially in the winter. Go for a "vintage" look and bring your old original Nintento to school, the games are pretty damn fun, espcially when you're stoned (which you will be at some point).
6) Laundry detergent/soap and dryer sheets - You'll probably be doing all of your laundry, unless you live like 30 minutes from your school and can bring it home every weekend. Contrary to what some people say, you can get by without having to wash your pants/jeans everytime you wear them. It'll save you a few precious dollars if you only do them every 2-3 times you wear them unless they're caked in nasty sh!t.
7) Pepto-Bismol, Aspirin and Multivitamins: Your pathetic little body is going to take some serious damage at school, so it's always handy to have something to releave stomach and head pain. Also, the multivitamins are good at replacing possible nutrients lost after long nights of drinking. Take one before you pass out and you'll feel a bit better the next morning.
8) Stupid sh!t for your dorm: Don't underestimate the aesthetical power of signs that say "Clothing Optional Beyond this Point" and the whatnot in your dorm. Also, in accourdance with the last sentance in #5, it's always nice to have something funny/trippy to look at when you're stoned. Black light posters are nice. Also, a poster of a bunch of differnt types of shots and how to prepare them isn't a bad idea. Bone-up on your drink mixing.
9) Mini Fridge - Unless your dorm comes pre-stocked with a minifridge, you'll want one. I don't think I need to explain this. Goes the same for a Microwave and a Can Opener.
10) Condoms - Not that you'll be getting any use out of them as a Freshman (jk), it's just nice to play it safe.
11) IMPORTANT! - This goes with #10 - Have one rather expensive bottle of really good alcohol stashed in your room for when you're entertaining a girl. Not breaking out the cheap sh!t during a mack-session can go a long ways.
12) Random artsy-crap. This kind-of goes with #8, but cool little nick-nacks for your room can add a lot of smoothness and individuality to your room.
13) Untensils / Glasses / Plates - You'll probably need something to eat with at some point in your room, so don't forget 'em. It's also handy to keep a list of all the pizza delivery phone numbers taped to the wall for emergency situations. Don't forget your shot glasses!
14) Deck of cards - Even if you're not really into poker and whatnot (like me for example), a lot of kids in college are pretty hardcore. Keep 'em entertained with a new deck of cards and hopefully something to play on.
15) Superglue - If things get out of hand, you'll want it.
16) Febreeze / Ozium - Makes the room smell good. I think you know what this is mainly used for.
17) A LARGE bag - You'll want a fairly gigantic bag to sneak alcohol into your room with. If it's a small order (i.e. one bottle or something) you can use your backpack.
18) At least one sh!tty towel - Clean up "stuff" with it. A lot of people in school get KO'd pretty easily, and you never know what kind of dumb stuff they can do. You'll want this for not only cleaning up spills, but for sticking under the door during...uhh..."sessions."
19) Dry-Erase board: Not only so you can let your roommate know when you're masturbating, but it comes in handy a lot for people to sign when they stop by and you're not there. Look like a pimp by letting the notes girls sign on it pile up (not).
That's about all I can think of right now. Probably a couple I missed, so if you guys have some additions feel free to post em.
GOOD LUCK!
