For those of you with kids heading off to college in the Fall and no idea where to start packing- check here.
I compiled this list from several different places but let me know if you see something missing. My DH and DS shot down stamps and envelopes. I guess I am not yet in the 21st Century.
Be sure to check with the school website as they may have specific items they recommend as well as specific items not allowed.
Good Luck and remember if something is forgotten it won’t be the end of the world.
They’ll adapt or borrow!

Extra TP; as it is the most important paper in the house!
Wow, what a list, I now have two i college. When I can't find something, I can usually fiind it at their pad.
Before they graduate my entire house will be there; my advice by like you are setting up your own place the first time around, or you will be.
Have a beautifully blessed day,
