The only downside is that I have so much to do to get ready. I have medical forms to fill out and get my visa. I only got my new passport on Tuesday
To help me and some future poor soul, here are some ways to prepare for college in the fall
Pinterest is a godsend. I have boards for my dorm room, for study tips and for general college life. Pinterest is currently my survival guide.
Follow Anushka's board Dorm on Pinterest.
Follow Anushka's board College on Pinterest.
HerCampus
HerCampus.com is a great resource for all incoming freshmen. They have amazing giveaways and advice for you during and even after your college life. They also have an amazing book coming out.
HerCampus has given me ideas for dorm decoration, socialising on campus and how to use my degree to get a job in the future.*
Any tourism site about the area you're going to
For me that's VisitPhilly.com. It's a pretty cool website that even has a breakdown month by month of any events happening in the city.
I'm looking forward to going around and exploring the city!
Packing Lists
This is of uber-importance. Don't tell yourself that you're going to remember everything you need. That's a sure way to end up on the phone to your mom trying to describe to her the thing you need so she can send it to you before next week, when you have to have it by.
I'm making two lists. I'm planning on mailing the bulky stuff to myself and then packing light for the plain ride. Remember pack only essentials, most of the stuff you'll be able to buy once you get to college.
That's it form me for now, good luck Class of 2019!
* I might even start a HerCampus chapter at BMC, shhh....
