16 College Essentials I Wish I'd Packed Sooner - Things I forgot to pack for college - college packing list

I began college as the queen of packing things I don’t need and I’m ending it as the queen of packing a LOT of crap, but a lot of it’s fairly important crap. I’ve certainly gotten better at narrowing down what’s essential and what isn’t.

I’ve also had a lot of  “I wish I’d thought of that sooner!” moments, especially when it comes to college essentials. Whether I see my friends using something I’d never thought to use in college or I have a divine revelation while browsing Pinterest, I’ve certainly discovered new college essentials along the way.

There are so many things that I wish I’d bought sooner for college, and as I near the end of college I’ve started to reflect on it. After four years, it’s fairly clear to me how many things I really didn’t need to pack for college and how many things I’m very glad I did. Here are some of those things.

Last Minute Things To Pack For College // eyeliner wings & pretty things

There are so many things you need to pack for college so it’s easy to forget about some of the last-minute sort ofitems. These items aren’t necessarily essentials, but they’re great to have. I use the term “essential” kind of loosely, which, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while you can probably tell. I think a lot of things are essential because I feel as though I need a lot of things, you see.

A few of these items on the list came in my  “Campus Shevival” BabbleBoxx package. Isn’t that a fun play on words? I’m a sucker for cute titles. Hopefully these last minute things to pack for college will help you find a little bit of inspiration and ideas for what to purchase when you’re preparing to head to college!
