Bloomsburg Packing List

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Kind of like a shopping hall packing list type thing s so that I can show you guys what I thought was really important to bring with you as a freshman living on campus eso whether it's like clothing wise or activity wise, academic wise, anything like that. I'm just gonna be showing you guys the list of stuff that I thought was really important. So the first thing I want to talk about is things that you should bring with you for outdoor and lead your activities. As you can see in this picture, another must have is to bring a hat and sunglasses. As you can see, I have my Bloomsburg hat on here and my sunglasses as well. Um, and then I also find it really important to bring my laptop to do work outside as well. So I always make sure I have some kind of activity to help me stay active, whether it's playing Frisbee, um, or using the volleyballs in this picture, I always love to hang out with my friends and do that kind of stuff. Um, and then the last thing I want to point out that I have in this picture is my water bottles. So obviously it's really important to talk about what kind of clothes you should bring to colleges. So I definitely thought it was worthwhile to check into getting, um, a waterproof backpack before you come to campus. It's important to talk about what happens when there's inclement weather. So when there's like snow or ice storms or anything like that, um, you might think, because you're moving in August, you don't really need to bring winter clothes, but it does cool down pretty fast, so I would recommend bringing like snow boots, hat, gloves, even a winter jacket when you move in, because you really never know what the weather is gonna look like. You definitely want to make sure that you're safe and warm when you're walking to and from class during any kind of inclement weather. Lastly, I want to talk about bringing business casual clothes as well. So this definitely wasn't something that I thought I needed to bring to college. We do have a ton of them that go on well, require that you wear business casual clothes. They'll require that you guys show up in business casual, so definitely, definitely definitely remember to bring some kind of business casual outfits. Um, and if you don't have any business casual and you don't have a way of getting them, that's totally okay. Eso students could go in and kind of, um, sign out the different outfits as well. Okay, So the next thing you want to talk about our items that you should bring for Redha living. Um, while our rooms to come with two twin Excel beds to wardrobes, two desks, a mini fridge and a microwave, they do not have mirrors in the room. So I definitely would recommend bringing a mattress toppers well, just something to make it feel a little bit more comfortable and a little bit more like home also, um, and the room can be kind of dim, so I would recommend bringing some kind of light, whether it's a stand up light or I'm like hanging lights that you could hang around your bed or something like that. Um, I also would definitely recommend bringing some kind of desk organizer and a desk lamp as well. Um, the desk organizer can be super helpful I know that they were for me. Um, just to keep all of your school supplies in one area, you can keep your notebooks or pencils or pens, tape, stuff like that and there is Well, um, and then also in terms of decorations, definitely bring a lot of kinds of decorations just to make it feel a little bit more homey s. So, for example, I love decorating for different seasons and holidays and stuff like that. Um a ton of pictures of my for friends and my family and my dogs hanging around my room is, Well, um and then anything that would also have to brighten up your room so you can see, um, my blues for university poster up there as well. Okay, So when we talk about rest hall living, it's also important to talk about going to and from the bathroom, because when you come here is a freshman. You're going to be living in a communal style bathroom setting, so you're gonna have to kind of take your shampoo and conditioner and soap and stuff back and forth family room to the bathroom. So the bathroom is important just so you don't have to bring a change of clothes. You could just kind of get out of the shower and go back to your best hall room and change their eso instead of walking like to and from the bathroom and tell where you can use the bathroom instead on the shower. Caddies obviously really important because you'll hold everything that you need for your shower, like washing your face at night or brushing your teeth in the morning and the night time. So it's kind of just one cohesive way to bring all of your stuff to and from the bathroom, So definitely don't forget about that. So I found it really important to buy a towel that was specifically for drying quickly. Okay, so now to talk about a few things that I found really important for academic life. So I'm someone who always brings my laptop to and from campus to go to the library, to go to class to go onto the Quad City homework. So I know it's not gonna get damaged, so I found that really important. Um, these were kind of a recent purchase because I just have found myself being on my computer so much more. Um, and Bloomsburg University is actually moving towards a lot more online textbooks because they're so much cheaper. So that's what I found really important for academic life. So definitely don't forget those when you come to campus.
