I really enjoyed reading this list, as I made a similar one for myself last year. Since I have most of the basics leftover from last year, I just used the list to refresh my memory for things I ran out of that I'll need to buy again before I go back to college.
Some people truly enjoy making lists like this. It's a fun way to look forward to something exciting -- like going off to college. Not to mention a good idea. The "trivial" things on the list are often things you really wouldn't think of otherwise that you WILL find out that you need at the last minute and yes you can go get them at the store but sometimes you are in a rush (someone told me to bring wrapping paper with me, and it was great advice because you never know when you might need/want to give a spur-of-the-moment gift to someone) or you feel too sick to go to the store and you're glad you have that box of nyquil sitting in your desk.
So for all the people criticizing the list: who cares? If you don't like it, it's as easy as closing the window in your web browser. Saying "this list is too long" does not help anyone. People can decide for themselves what items they need and don't need.
And for all the people who said they are just going with a suitcase and toothbrush and laptop, I pity you.
