<p>Get excited if you’re packing for college for the first time this summer! Looking back, there are probably a lot of things that I didn’t need to pack, and others that were really really important.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>get an alarm clock, and a good one. You’ll be surprised how hard it is to get up in the morning even if most college classes start later than high school classes</p></li>
<li><p>less on the clothes. depends on your “style” i guess, but seriously, once you’ve been up late a few nights in the library, you’ll care a lot less. and most people have too much on their own minds to care. good jeans and tshirts always come in handy ;)</p></li>
<li><p>wear a smile, be open to people, get along with your roommate</p></li>
</ol>
<p>here’s a youtube channel with some great clips and answers from real students about all things college related:</p>
