There is a 99% chance that while shopping for college the 1st time, you will buy a lot of things that you will never use! There is an even higher possibility that you will over look those things that you can’t live w/o.  Drawing from my collegiate experience (and others), I have created a list of the things you will need for your new adventure through the land of University.

 

But wait, don’t get to hysterical.  All of my need its will be on different blogs.  Yes, I do feel a little bad about adding extra stress to your frazzled little selves, but I am doing what is best for you.  Are you really going to read a dissertation presented as a blog on what you need for college.  Well thanks I am flattered, but I think it is best to practice our patience....it’s a virtue you know!  

 

Here we go boys and girls!

 

1.  Microwave Food-  Ok, kidd-oes it is time for a little story about a girl, we will call her.... Mallison.  Mallison came from a home that not only lacked junk food, but also a microwave.  She was amazed her first year of college when she was introduced to the wide world of microwavable food.  You have heard of the Freshman 15.... well Mallison developed the Freshman 17...in one semester.  True story.  She could no longer sit up strait in her cute little jeans.  Every chair became a recliner in order to maintain the buttons on her pants.  

 

Not only did this new world introduce her to a new way of sitting, it also contained a whole new way of cooking food.  Mcassidy, Mallisons Irish roommate, can attest to her lack of Microwave skills.  I believe that no matter what school you go to, if you live in a dorm with at least one other Freshman, the fire alarm will be set off because of burnt microwavable popcorn.  Mallison proved this point several times at her college, and caused multiple girls in her dorm to have the black lung.

 

So my words to the wise.

-Buy microwavable food (popcorn, EasyMac, hot chocolate, and ramen noodles)

-Use restraint w/ microwavable food

-The microwave popcorn button never works how it does at home
