I spent my first semester abroad, off campus. Now I'm moving on campus and beginning to pack. I'm flying out and shipping the majority of my stuff. What do you wish you had packed for college?

Well I only lived an hour and a half away from home, so if I needed anything, I would just drive back. But make sure you have the pillows and blankets that make sleeping enjoyable.

Having some organization or shelves is sweet. I live close to school so it's no issue for me

Um, I didn't bring my skis last semester which sucked until I got them at Thanksgiving. Other than that, I actually felt like I had too much stuff. My room is really small and I'm probably going to leave a lot of stuff at home when I go back this semester.

Learn from the Old(er) people!

Christmas Lights since they are literally perfect all year round. Winter they keep you cozy for the holiday season. In the Summer they serve as tiki lights around your room.

Also I would have to say ear buds. Like the orange foam peanuts or noise cancelling little shits. Lastly Duct-tape. You can fix everything with duct tape.

Get a bed for a puppy. Take a girl back up to your place by saying "I got the cutest little puppy" Since chicks dig puppies. Say that little scamp ran off or your friend has him or something. Boom.

Make sure you have a food and bowls for the dog as well you want it to be believable.

When you say "give or take", it's obvious you mean "take"

Slippers was a good suggestion. Get something with both hard bottoms and which are washable. You'll find yourself wearing them in some questionable places most likely...
