I’d like to start this post with a story just to get the point across that everything on this list is necessary. Once upon a time, there was a frugal freshman named Betty. She didn’t see the point in wasting money on a bathrobe for college when she would be buying towels. “What’s the use in a bathrobe when you wear it for like, 2 seconds,” she questioned. One day, Betty was walking back to her room in a towel after taking a shower. She was surprised to see two male students arguing outside her door. She was even more surprised when she dropped her keys…right next to them. Needless to say, Betty went to Target the next day and bought a bathrobe. On the up side, I, I mean… Betty, got matching pajamas for free. The moral of this story? Stick to the list! I know it can be daunting, but a lot of places have big sales for college students when it gets closer to move-in day.
