College Packing List!

See updated packing list here!

With 3 weeks down in the big apple and only one week left, I think I am finally adjusting to dorm life. It has given me a good taste what to expect when I move into the Furman dorms in August. A few nights ago, it was entirely too hot to leave air conditioning so instead of exploring New York, I decided to make an in-depth packing/shopping list for college! My friend’s mom started this list and then I went through and added all the stuff I thought I would want. Being the type A person I am, I color coordinated the whole thing to make it easier to read. If you want to use it, I would suggest simply copying and pasting it into a word doc and printing it from there!
