Six things you’ll need to survive college

Graduating the final year of high school can be tough and the transition to college can be worse! To help you move on, presented is a list of six things which are guaranteed to make your life easier…

1) A Lunch Tray~ Although it sounds lame in the sense that no one wants to go and steel one from the abundant stock, it can be rather utilized as a multi-purpose tool! Need a lap desk? sled? easel to paint on? Laptop desk? well the answer is – go and grab a lunch tray from the cafeteria!

2) Febreze~ One can only imagine the smell of four teens squished into a two-room apartment and once people start to slack with the laundry, it all goes downhill!

3) White board calendar and cork board organizer~ If you are a visual learner like myself, in order to get anything done I literally have to be able to see what I need to do before I can convince myself to get started. For this reason, I highly recommend a white board since I’ve had one for three years now and I love every bit of it! With times when I like to offer myself a slack weekend, I make sure I have something like “Go and waste some time” written on it.

4) Disinfectant wipes~ Both the disinfectant hand wipes and the heavy duty Clorox wipes are a good idea to pack. With times when you have some time leftover from parties and studying, you can use it to clean your room. Once the febreze stops working, this can also serve as the last alternative =]

5) Toilet Paper~ Except for only using them for toilet related applications, these guys are multipurpose and can really help you out with cleaning up spills and disinfecting study areas. It is always advisable to carry a set matter where you go. I choose to always bring them along with me for any day trips or even long hikes.

6) And Finally, conversation initiating ideas~ We have all been at places when it seems impossible to start a talk or keep it going. With initial months deciding your outlook for the rest of your university years, it’s always recommended to plan ahead and have those one liners ready… You never know when you’ll have to use them!
