<p>I don’t think theres a single day where I didn’t use my shower caddy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Only if you’re going to Bryn Mawr.</p>
<p>^^^^ HAHA</p>
<p>Anyways,</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or you could save the space in your preciously packed vehicle and dry your dishes with paper towels like I did :)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t bring dishes. Most people don’t clean them right away, and they get nasty. </p>
<p>Just bring paper plates, bowls, and some plastic silverware to throw away.</p>
<p>A stapler. I never bought one and still don’t have one, but could really use them. Paperclips constantly fall off of my papers and I end up scrambling to find a stapler in the classroom.</p>
<p>I still need to invest in one.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you know you have a safe place to keep them, then yes. But otherwise, leave them at home. They’re fun to show your friends a peek at what your pre-college life was like, but they’re easily ruined. A friend of mine brought her senior yearbook and someone spilled coffee on it. And unless your school is like mine and sells back-issues of yearbooks, you’re kinda screwed. Not to mention all the notes from friends and teachers are especially irreplaceable.</p>
<p>Anyways.</p>
<p>Bring a 3-hole punch. I brought one thinking I’d never use it, but I actually used it a lot. And I was extremely popular in my dorm come project time.</p>
<p>Also, if you have a kitchen and you know you’re going to use it, a hand mixer. Baking isn’t quite as much fun when you have to spend 40 minutes mixing the wet and dry ingredients.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you’re drying dishes more than once a week that’s a pretty big waste of paper/money. Why not just get some cheap hand towels on clearance from Marshall’s for the cost of a roll of paper towels or two?</p>
<p>Get ShamWow! You’ll say “wow!” every time.</p>

<p>^^^ I have some of those and they don’t work. :(</p>
<p>Folding camp chair and a flashlight. Bought that stuff for our '09 friends this year. Duct tape is an absolute necessity. Set of jeweler’s screwdrivers. Your favorite movies.</p>
<p>Agree with costume gear, too.</p>
<p>Bring a 42" plasma TV. Seriously, it will win you a lot of friends.</p>
<p>plattsburg: great video</p>
<p>Music and wonder hangers</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>…Beeeecause they were the paper towels from the community bathroom 4 feet away, and therefore, not mine… haha. If they were my own paper towels I would have just gotten a dish towel instead.</p>
<p>Air mattress! It’s very useful for when friends stay the night and you don’t feel like squishing up in the twin bed.</p>
