It is back to school season! No matter how hard you fight it, you cannot avoid that section at Target forever. This means, for those of you heading off to college, it is time to start packing up. Besides the mattress pad and shower caddy, here are a few things you should consider throwing into the U-Haul:
Good pair of headphones
You will be in the library, on your way to class, at the rec center, or trying to tell the world to leave you alone and only have the standard Apple headphones tangled at the bottom of your bag. Investing in a good pair will be worth every penny.

Extra phone chargers
At school, try having an extra phone charger you always keep by your bed or in your backpack. You will thank me when someone steals your charger or a cutie has a low battery.

Netflix and Hulu accounts
Netflix has a ton of great things to watch, and I really do not know where you have been if you do not know about it. Hulu is nice to have for watching shows you would DVR. It plays new episodes of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy, Law and Order: SVU, and others on the morning after it airs. You do not need to buy an account, but just find someone that is willing to share their passwords.
Stapler
A lot of teachers in college require things to be stapled, and it is not like high school where there will be a stapler at the front of the class when you turn in your paper. Bring one to school like the responsible student you are pretending to be to your parents!
Printer Paper
Typically, your dorm or building will have a communal printer. Now, picture this (light fades in). You pull an all-nighter finishing a paper for your sociology class. When you finally jolt awake in terror that you overslept, you see you have 10 minutes before your professor locks the doors and gives you an automatic fail on the assignment. You run downstairs to print it off, but the printer is out of paper (gasps). You fail. You drop out of college. You work at a Quick Trip when you are 37 and get a tattoo of Betty Boop on your bicep. Except now you know, and you can prevent this future of microwavable meals from happening to you.
Mini vacuum
When you walk through your room barefoot and feel all the hair that has shed wrap between your toes like a cartoon vine in the jungle, just imagine me saying, “I told you to get a mini vacuum.”
