Today I am sharing with you all my latest YouTube Video. I had a really positive response to my last video about sorority recruitment, so I decided to keep with the back to school theme this time around! I am sharing the top 10 things you should pack for college your freshman year. I know every store has a list of things you need, but I think they can really overwhelming! It is hard to determine what you actually need and what will just take up space. Obviously you need to pack more than 10 things for college, but these are the top 10 things I would recommend! Please make sure you all give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel.
Additionally, there is currently a giveaway going on in this video! I feature my pair of monogrammed rain boots, from Hollenberg Bros (pictured below). You can win a pair for yourself and get it monogrammed, with sorority letters, etc. (Psst. this give away is over an $89 value!) You don't have to be in college to enter. It is quick 4 steps to enter which are listed in the description box of the video. If you have any questions, just let me know! Good luck!
I would love it if you would follow me on GFC or Bloglovin'!

Those monogrammed rain boots are so cute! It's been so long since I was a freshman in college that I don't even remember what my "essentials" were!

These are all great items!!! Especially the rain boots that was the best decision I ever made was grabbing rain boots before I left because I walked to class and it rained a lot! hahaha.

rainboots are a PERFECT giveaway for college girls. They are a campus essential! The worst is when you're not prepared with them. One time it randomly started raining hard and I was wearing uggs- you better believe i took them off and walked barefoot so I wouldn't ruin them!

ReplyDeleteSuch great advice!! Reading all of these back to school posts makes me really miss school! I never thought I'd say that!
ReplyDeleteRainboots & a raincoat were the two things I made sure to get before I left for college because I knew I'd be walking a lot...funny thing is I never owned an umbrella.

Darcy, you mentioned some really good things! I really liked the earphone headset idea (that's very courteous) and ottoman where you can store things (limited spacing). When living on campus, there's so much to think about. This will definitely help others. Great video!

This made me miss college so much (it's been 9 years yikes!), and I love the water bottle/filter idea. I definitely could have used that back in college :-D
ReplyDeleteLove this video! Now that I've finished my freshman year, I'm definitely going to re-think my packing list and leave some things at home - I definitely overpacked!

i never got to experience dorm life--ours were suites, like an apt--but it seems like fun! and i swear there are more fun things to purchase and get to really personalize the space than when i was in college.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post! I wish I had it handy when I was in college.
