banana you do not NEED 5 pairs of heels to come with you. You have to think about space.

haha well im taking 4, maybe more if I find some over the summer, and you can never have too many shoes haha!

Anyways quick question: I hate hate hate wrinkled clothes, so ironing is a must for me, do many freshman brink ironing boards to college or is it too big and pointless? (even though Ill definitely need it)

Swiss Miss-- I just bought a fabric steamer from Target and it's amazing. I'm bringing it to college instead of an iron.

I bought the ConAir Compact Fabric Steamer GS4 for a little over $30. I tried it out and home at it works well for the price.

Swiss Miss, Bed Bath and Beyond has a tabletop ironing board that folds up to be fairly thin and is easy to put on the top shelf of a closet or propped against a wall. It's only about $10.

Do you really need shower shoes? The only time I've ever used them is camping. Never anywhere else. And the showers at my school are pretty clean. Probably not much worse than mine at home (although, that's not a surprise since there are 9 people in my family sharing 2 showers, and in the dorms there are like 20 people sharing 6 and both get cleaned once a week).

someone could have planters warts and you could catch them from not wearing shower shoes. planters warts are no fun either

Er, you mean plantar warts.

But, really, it's not that big of a deal. You'll run a slightly higher risk of contracting fungal weirdness and such, but not so much so that you should stress about it. Especially if the showers are kept clean. Also, if it really, really bothers you, you can always keep a spray bottle with some bleach and water, and spray the shower floor before you use it.

Honestly, I'm not all that concerned about fungus or anything.
