College Dorm and Clothing Must Haves

     As the 2014 school year comes to an end, many of the graduating Seniors are wiping their

foreheads to finally be  done with the long stressful college application process, Senior

picture organization, prom planning along with other Senior tasks  and are ready to

 transition into starting a new chapter of their lives...but with this transition comes the need

for careful preparation! I have been proactive by creating a list of both dorm and women's

clothing necessities in order to be organized and to have a check list of college item must

haves. Items may vary person to person, items may be added, feel free to share this

with your fellow peers and or print out the items so that you could possibly check them off

your college preparation to do list! I hope it helps!
