Krissie's top ten list of what to bring to college
by Krissieliz | Apr 4, 2000
The same thing happens to nearly every freshman across the country - they come to school with a U-HAUL or van full of junk, most of which is never used. As a matter of fact, I actually took a lot of stuff home by Thanksgiving break of my freshman year,...

Yep, I wish I had known that when I went to school. Besides the fact that it won't fit in your room, I had to lug all that stuff up to my room myself. Let's just say, if you bring a lot of stuff your first time, you get a lot of exercise!

Don't worry about the underwear. You can use that second sheet as a toga. Do sheets come in sets?

Great list!

The underwear thing is so true! Since I had older sisters, I knew to stock up. Even now, doing laundry is a hassle, so having my 30+ pairs is always convenient.

Panty Raids! (Reply to this comment)

God, what college did you go to? Well, I always heard my lay friend's mother always say, Make sure you wear clean underwear".

Kris, your review made me laugh as I reflected my days at college. Never lived in a dorm but I can relate!

We had a real Panty Raid as an initiation rite of passage. I thought it was stupid but I busted out laughing when I saw one undie that had "Sunday" embroidered on it!

BTW, all those panties we stole were returned to their owners . . . Geez, I hope they were clean LOL!

About the underwear thing. I went off to school with a week's supply in tow...had to blow my first two month's allowance buying underwear.

Good one, Marv with an E-e-e-e-e-e-e! Protection from the zipper is advisable>

Great Review, Marvien with an E

I can totally relate to the underwear! I think I came to college with about 12 pairs, and left with about 35...
