When I was finishing up my senior year of high school I feel like all I did was look up pictures of dorms rooms and packing lists on Pinterest. But I felt like every packing list I saw had either an outrageous amount of unnecessary items or was missing a lot of stuff.

After using one of the lists I found to buy all of my stuff I decided that I would see what I actually ended up using after the first semester, and put together one complete packing list (with room to add some extra goodies you may want to bring. Everything on this list is actually in my dorm, and in use right now.
