FRESHMAN NECESSITIES

Freshman need so many things to make the transition to college. It is hard to remember the most important things you will need at times so I have compiled a list for you. Not too long ago I asked on Tumblr what upperclassmen would recommend that freshman would need.

Laptop sleeve. This is so important to keep your laptop safe. You are constantly toting it around campus to class, group meetings, the library, etc. A laptop sleeve will save it from getting dirty or even scratched. Vera Bradley laptop sleeves are so colorful and come in a ton of different prints!

Towel wrap. Unless you are one of the lucky few, you do not have a bathroom connected to your room. Traveling down the hallway from a shower can be awkward if you do not have a towel wrap. I hate when wet hair touches a shirt, so I usually get ready in a towel wrap. Frill Seeker Gifts has these adorable monogrammed wraps available for your sorority!

Key chain. There are so many keys that you will have to keep up with. Invest in a cute keychain to brighten your day. I love these keychains from Jonathan Adler.

Shower caddy. Again, if you do not have your own shower, you will need a shower caddy. This helps for you to keep all of your shower items in one place that you just have to grab and go. I shower in the morning, well before I am awake. If I didn't have a shower caddy I would probably forget everything I needed. That is not how I would want to start the day! Linens and Things has these colorful caddies for less than $20! I love all of the compartments too.

I.D. holder. My I.D. holder is my life. It has my debit card, student I.D., driver's license, etc. in it. This option from Lilly Pulitzer is one of my new favorites! This is a new style they have started to carry. It also has a keychain available to keep everything in one place.

Storage bins. We all know that dorm rooms have limited storage available. My favorite place to store things is under the bed or on top of the closet. Keep everything organized with these bins from Bungalow. They come in a ton of sizes and colors. They are also super durable!
