| This is an AMAZING thread...perfect for packing this summer!!! THANK YOU to all who contributed. For a first-gen student this will probably save a lot of heartache and worry about "did I forget _____?" |

There, I have compressed this list to an Excel file (sorry, Excel 2007, I will convert it later) complete with whether I will be taking these items to school and my logic behind the decision. Feel free to download this, change your answers, and print it out as an easy-to-see guide to packing (no offense meant to the OP). Also the descriptions may help you make decisions about taking certain things.
Keep in mind that, unlike the OP, I am a guy and an engineering major, which is why so many of my answers differ from hers  . | |

| Here it is in 'normal' Excel format: RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting
The entire list complete with my answers of yes/no and my reason behind the decision is on Sheet 1, and MY list of things to bring (handy for guys who don't need makeup, hand cream, etc) is on Sheet 2. My final list is about 120 things, the original list was about 240, to give you an idea of how much I cut. I recommend y'all take the list in Sheet 1, copy it to Sheet 3, and then change the reasoning in the third column so you can print that out and use it as a guide to packing.

| iceburns - What a weird phrase....
Is it like "awesomesauce?" only the opposite...
Because I've never heard anybody else use it. | |

| Maybe it IS a regional thing then. In the northeast, I've never heard anybody say it. | |

| Weaksauce is more of an internet meme than anything, I think. I live in the NE, and I only use it around my computer-geeky friends, who use it too. | |

| Werd, it's more of a nerdy thing than a regional thing. Why do you think I said I'm going to engineering school  . | |
