I last you did so well I needed to make a part two because apparently I missed some things. So this is the updated college list. If you're new here, my name is Abby and I'm an uprising sophomore at Penn State Berks and I'm gonna help you get through college. Yeah. Let's do this list. Shower shoes. Might seem obvious, but, um, if you have a communal bathroom, you don't want everybody else's foot fungus. That's nasty. Not everybody thinks about this, but medicine. You're gonna get sick. You're out all night, you might be a little hungover. You're gonna want Tylenol the next day. It's gonna save you. Oh, and honorable mention, liquid IV. Yeah, get that. And sip, don't chug. Sip, don't chug. If you can get your hands on Zofran, that will save you too. Insurance. Your insurance card. No one thinks, um, I sure didn't. But when you're gagging and you don't know why you keep getting sick. Yeah. You're gonna end up in urgent care. A lot. Yeah. So bring your insurance card. Yeah. Pillow. Your college doesn't provide that. Bring your own pillow and make sure it's a good one. You're gonna need that neck support. Long nights after studying, you're just gonna crash on a nice pillow. Get a good pillow. Soap and soap dispenser. They don't give that to you. Your bathroom. Yeah. Bring your own hand soap, especially if you have like I did in my dorm. We didn't have soap. Hand soap to wash your hands. Bring your own soap. A hand towel because what are you gonna wipe your hands off with after you're done washing your hands with that soap you just bought? Don't get paper towels. Paper towels are a money hole. You'll be buying paper towels every other day. Just get a hand towel and wash it every now and then. Alternative lighting. Yeah, LED strips. But be mindful. A lot of colleges don't let you put LED lights on the wall because they rip off the paint. So buy painter's tape and lay the painter's tape down first and then put the LED strip on the painter's tape. It's not hard. Just do it. And you don't want to be paying the maintenance fee when they have to go fix the paint on the wall. Can be expensive. Don't do it yourself because you're gonna be broke. Really broke. Batteries. Yeah. You brought your Xbox. Your controller just died? Yeah. Buy a big thing of batteries. Costco and Sam's Club sell them. Do that for yourself. I promise. A TV. Yeah. Summer I just turned pretty dropped a new episode and you can't watch it 'cause you don't have a TV. Buy a TV. Just watch a movie. A bedside table. If you don't have a bedside table, you're laying in your dorm bed. Yeah. You want to put something down where you're gonna put it? On the floor? You're not gonna reach all the way down there and get that. Get a bedside table. What the heck? A rug. This sounds so dumb, but those dorm floors can be freezing. And when you, you better not sleep with socks on. That's weird. When you get out of bed in the morning and you wanna put your feet on that ice cold freezing floor, you're gonna wanna die. Get yourself a rug. It'll save you. Save you a lot of hassle, a lot of cold feet. You don't want that. Towels. Towels for the bathroom. You get out of the shower. What are you drying yourself? Not the paper towels, 'cause that's a money hole. And not that hand towel. It's too small. Get yourself towels. Colleges just don't provide them. And get at least two so you can have them in rotation. That's nasty. Bookbag/tote bag. You're in college. No one cares what you wear. No one cares. Get a bookbag or a tote bag. I had a tote bag. It fit my laptop and my iPad and all my books and everything I needed. I just carried it on my shoulder everywhere. Looked like a purse. It was so awesome. I'd also use a bookbag, but I'd use both. Switch them out. A freaking calculator, okay? Get a calculator. A Texas Instrument. You're gonna need it. Those math classes, heh, they ain't gonna give you a calculator. We're in college. Buy your own. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash. I cannot stress this next one enough. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash. You stink. They don't give you that either. Go buy. Native is really good. Can be a little expensive. Just go buy literally whatever. Deodorant. You stink. Put some deodorant on. Do not buy Axe body spray. We're not in middle school anymore, okay? We're in college. Deodorant or spray deodorant. Not hard. Come on guys. You can't be stinking. And last but not least, a water filter. Yeah, okay. All right. I'm a girl. I have long hair. It looks kinda ratchet right now did I didn't brush it. So that water at college. It'll dry your hair out. Get a water filter. I did. My hair looked great. Okay. Do yourself a favor. Buy a water filter. If you made this far in the video, follow me, 'cause I'm a college student and I share my struggles literally every single day. So, yeah, might as well. Wish everybody luck. Comment if you have any questions. Okay. Bye.
