Instead of buying an iron a cheaper alternative is hanging the things you need straightened into the bathroom with you during your shower, the steam works out the wrinkles so it saves time and money, I learned this trick from a dance teacher about a costume!
Thank you!
But how do you keep from accidentally splashing it??
+Katy CUNNINGHAM you dont keep it in the shower lol you hang it on the door or if you have towel hangers hang it there
I just finished my sophomore year in college and there were a LOT of things I wish I brought and wish I didn't bring. I wish I bought a water filter too, our school's water was really foggy, and I was deathly afraid of drinking it or using it for making coffee or hot chocolate. It would have saved me so much. Also, something I did have and I advise everyone to get is bug traps and/or bug spray like Raid. My college is surrounded by a wooded area and bugs (especially ants) liked to make appearances in my and my friends' dorm rooms. I had ant traps and Raid ready in my dorm both freshman and sophomore year and it SAVED me.
Something I wish I didn't bring was all of my DVDs and ALL of my clothes. I didn't watch any of my DVDs, and they took up so much space. Also, I barely had room for all of my clothes, so I decided to switch out my clothes everytime I went home. It saved me a lot of space.
Good luck to anyone starting college for the first time in the fall! I hope my post was useful!!
BeMyGuest A good way to save room and bring all the DVDs you want it to put all of them in a CD case! Best decision I've made!
yeah I planned on doing that! I couldn't find a CD case anywhere near me, so I went with a pink container that could fit all of them. I should start looking for one, thanks!!
BeMyGuest Hey, I had your same problem with the DVD's and I found myself a DVD case at Target for cheap. Plus, it fits a lot of them, so go check em out there! By the way, your idea of getting Raid helps me because I never thought of getting that, so thanks!
***** of course no problem!! the thing with the DVDs also is that I never had time to watch them either, so they just sat there collecting dust

A shower caddy can still be good if you're in a suite. You're sharing with 4 people usually, there isn't that much room for everyone's stuff.
steamers are really helpful and a great alternative to irons! :)
thanks for da tip!
Dandanpong Yeah, my older sister (finished with college) bought one when she started and she still uses it. You can buy a small compact one, and then you don't need a large clunky ironing board.
I don't iron shit
lol
Same
Americans...
Alex 0202
The girl in the video is American, you idiot. And she irons.
Great alternative to paper bowls/utensils for taking food away from the dining hall is a tupperware container and metal utensils. You don't have to keep buying more, environment friendly and it's easy to transport your food and keep it protected from dust and the elements if you're ever walking outdoors with it.
Instead of paper bowls just buy a set of tupperware/plastic containers and utensils so you can microwave, refrigerate, and store your dining hall munchies more easily (plus, more environmentally friendly)
Bring a full set of dish ware! You won't need more than one but like a bowl, plate, cup, mug, and utensils was definitely something I needed and had to buy once I got to school. My dining hall was right downstairs but I ended up using all of those very very frequently either for food I had delivered or if I made ramen or instant oatmeal or something :)
Hannah Michelle I like bringing 2 cups just because if one is being washed then I have another. If I'm also having a friend over and need a cup it's great to have that.

You seem so much more mature from your first day of college videos. Not like old but mature.
I feel dat! good to know I've grown in college
+Katherout you coming to be me ugliest you can always talk to me 104mwanza

This is so ridiculously helpful!! I am not going to college for another year but it's really nice to start thinking about what to bring!
TheKgstyle YAY glad i could assist ya
The lighting is amazing in this!
I just want to thank you so much for all your college videos! They've definitely helped ease all the tension I've had about college! You are such a beautiful human being! 💖❤️
Yaaay thank you so much for this video! Was waiting for it. Thanks for being such an amazing, helpful, college sister-like figure ☺️
This was wonderful! Your videos are very concise and enjoyable to watch. I really appreciated the what not to bring list, so I know what I should revise my list for this fall.
I never think of my videos as on the concise side so thANk u
I would love a video with tips to study, take notes and being organized! Thanks :)
I've only been watching for a minute and I just really wanted to tell you how much I appreciate how real you are in this video. Almost every college advice video I've seen are from girls who appear very fake, or almost ditsy in a way, and I love that you come across very educated and wise. Thanks for the great video! I subscribed
yay! so glad you're uploading more frequently!
rockstarL98 :-)
Hey Katherout! I love all of your vids! They are super duper helpful. Also, you look so pretty w/o makeup. Keep doing you!
Great video! In regards art type supplies, if you're an education major (Early Childhood/elementary), you will need some school/art supplies. Also, a Keurig or coffee machine is a must, at least where I went to college, because the dining halls weren't open all night and yep, my friends and I loved a cup of hot tea or coffee, even at midnight. 😊
I am going to college in the fall and I had compiled a list of things I needed but a lot of the stuff you said, I hadn't even thought of! So thanks!!!
OMG i was just hoping that you would upload a video and here it is!!
Me too!!
Super helpful! I'm class of 2017 so I'm starting to get prepared for college
Same!
Same here! I'm so excited
THANK YOU for these college videos! more please!
Olivia Perez COMING RIGHT UP U DON'T EVEN KNOWWWW
i'm in high school, and your videos have really helped me feel more comfortable with the idea of going off to post secondary. I'm not going off for another two years, but i still want to know what i might be in for. Thanks again for all the helpful info!
this august will be my sophomore year in college and one thing I would say to help you pack your clothes is to pack it by season! It helps with space and you're most likely not going to be wearing that winter coat in the beginning of the school year anyways. Also, the Brita filter is a must!! or get those water bottles with the built in Brita filter. super helpful :')
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH!
my favorite things -
- the informative, original content
- your personality
- how prepared you are in your videos (not many likes and ums)
Jasmine Shao literally why did u say that now all i can pay attention to in this video is every time she says um
Love these college videos!
I love makin em!
You are saving my life rn.
Yeah, getting stuff at the end of the year is great. A lot of seniors were giving away or selling stuff at my school too and it had never occurred to me that that was possible. Great way to get stuff for cheap and a great way to help your friends.
Omg yes new video!
I am in my Junior Year of high school... I have been planning on stuff for college & just wanted to say thank you for the helpful tips I am truly going to make sure I save these!! And I Love your videos!!!
Swiffer swiffer swiffer! Dust accumulates super fast in a dorm, its crazy. Also your hair is so adorable and so are you :).
xallisonpaige thanks so much!
The videos you post are very helpful. I'm just about to start college and I will be in a suite as well so your tips were very helpful
I'm so nervous yet excited
Starting my first year at FGCU in two weeks so very helpful! My roommate, who started over there summer, said that a stain remover(like a stain remover pen) came in handy, not only for her but also for people on her dorm floor.
you are the best youtuber
AWWWWW I'm glad I'm able to do that in my videos 💕
KATHERINE your eyes and your pillowcases match perfectly. I had to put that out there ;) And ofc, thanks so much for all these college videos lately. I'll be a freshman this fall and through my shameless binge-watching of college vlogs, I have to say that yours are the most feel-good, genuine, USEFUL... All the good things :)
Jaaananannn this was the BEST compliment you are too thoughtful!
Ayy keep at it :) We need them ahah
Katherine you're seriously my fave youtuber, thanks for being cool and existing. Also, REPPIN MARCHING BAND TRUMPETS ON TH-cam GO YOU 🎉🎺
Brooke Vaillancourt I WILL REP TRUMPETS TIL THE DAY I DIE!
Yeah good idea about the storage bins I'm only going to buy 2. Mostly for moving my stuff into my dorm . I'll probably only keep one with me.
Bring a fan, it's good for blocking out noise when you are trying to sleep or study and keeping you cool
I love these type of videos, and this was super helpful for the rest of my college years even though I'm not a freshman anymore! I'm doing a college series too if you wanna check it out!!
Lysol wipes are a must have. Between sleepovers and sticky sandwiches, your room will be dripping with dust and germs. Lol. I also found candles very soothing when studying. Another thing is medication and first aid. Make sure you have alcohol swabs and bandaids, even though there's probably a emergency team or health centre, you never know. Oh. And get fabric sheets for when you're doing laundry. I always forget them. Best of luck!
This was really helpful. Thank you
Instead of paper bowls, my sister brought a set of (durable) plastic bowls/plates/cups as well as some metal utensils; she reuses and washes them regularly. A lot cheaper and better for the environment
This video was super helpful, as are all your other videos. And really only 5 rainy days? I live in Florida and it rains all the time, but I'm never inclined to bring an umbrella, I just deal. Must be a Floridian thing. Hope you're having fun in China!
I'm loving it in China!! it probably is as humid and rains as much here as it does in Florida though!
This video is so helpful! Thanks! You go to USC right? I am starting as a freshman there this fall and I'm super excited!!
What lens and lighting do you use? The quality in this is amazing!
Loveee your videos!
AWWW thanks, Bailey
A three-hole punch & binders are very helpful.
I have also found that a water filter pitcher was very useful. Also, a vacuum. RAs at my school all have them, but if its late and popcorn spills everywhere, I feel bad waking up the RA to borrow the vaccum.
I'm transferring to UCLA this fall as a junior and your videos are SO helpful thank you!!
Jasmine Paek congrats!!!
Love yhis video so much...i find it really usefull.
I also really love all this college videos since i will go to college next year and i'm realy scared i mean like its all new and you have basecly to deal with everything and have friends no one knows you...
So i really want you to do some videos about all the day of start what you afraid of and turned out really not so scared..
Thank you for anything you're graet!!
that one is definitely going to be filmed this summer!!
Just about to start my second semester of senior year and I’m having a college-panic induced planning fit lol
This is so helpful because I am moving into my dorm on saturday and am sure I am going to forget things lol.
I love watching you!!!
M0XXA18 YAY I LOVE YOU FOR WATCHING
Thanks for this!!!!
I'm in the marching band at my college, too!
I'll have to save this for a year from now...
more vids on life at USC! i want to go to LA for college but i dont know which one and after looking at the majors for each school, USC has the major i want (TV Acting and Film stuff). I want to go to USC and i really want to be prepared. Thanks for your amazing vids and i love them so much!
Claire Hsu i'm going to do a day in my life when i get back to school in the fall!
I love your hair!
thanks, Ella!
Not yet in college, but I've heard having a personal printer is a good idea for any last minute essays that you can't wait through the line for a public printer
staplers, scissors, tape things like that are quite useful even though most of the time they are forgotten.
Question for anyone out there...I'm starting college in August and a lot of my clothes happen to be workout clothes; among those, about half of my shirts are t-shirts I bought or won at track and field invitational meets that I competed at in high school. I'm not planning on taking any high school memorabilia, but do these count and will I be judged? 😂 thanks!!!
History majors need color pencils and a ruler! And good, dark, pens. There'll be several classes where you'll have to do hand made map projects. The more color, the better.
I have been living on campus in norway for the last year, and we had like our own bedrooms and shared bathrrom with one person. and I ended up living alone there from like january to july.
and I had way to much stuff with me, but I used most of it actually
your eyes are gorgeous!!!
thanks this is great!
Im a freshman and going to Hawaii to study. This video is so helpful but if you don't mind me asking. Do you have any tips on what to make sure to pack when flying there? For my dorm stuff, I plan on buying the stuff when I get there.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
AnnelisePixler YOU ARE SO WELCOME
I wanna go to college so badly. But I'm class of 2020 :/
+Pikacute Enjoy being young man, you only get to do it once.
me too 😢
I'm in the class of 2021 and my brother is 2020
I think im class of 2022:/
im also class of 2020 cant wait!
I'm not going to college but to a boarding high school and your college vids are so helpful
Crazy8adb best of luck at boarding school!! :)
some people do actually used color pencils but it depends on your note taking style, some people need colorful notes to help them, so it would be useful to them but not other people.
I go to college in L.A. county too and concur about the brita filter. That is not an optional purchase lol especially because the water is contaminated from nearby fracking :/
It's not good to do homework or studying in bed? I don't know how not to lol.
Should I buy supplies before school starts or after classes start? Because at least in high school teachers told students in the first day what they would need
I remember watching like a college food hack video for her a long time ago
I hope to see you next year at USC and TMB
see you there!
My dad worked for the Los Angeles dept of water and power for over thirty five years. He can attest to the fact that Los Angeles has some of the cleanest tap water in the country. (Seriously) And yet after having grown up there I can say that even so, most people that live there are bouji and still drink expensive bottled waters.
I'm so excited for college....
good!!!
I love you so much definitely your new subbie
ChasityTV1 YAY welcome to my channel :)
"I didn't bring any raincoat or umbrella.." I'm planning on going to HSU which rains all the time. but I do get that you went to USC bc I wouldn't bring them to SoCal either.
Riana Jae that's so cool that you go (or went) to HSU! I'm born and raised in Arcata and basically everyone had parents and family that worked at HSU.
A drying rack!!!
your eyes are gorgeous!
In HS I used colored pencils in my notes because unlike some pens they don't bleed through and will never run out of ink. Just an idea if your someone who finds yourself with colored pencils you didn't really need but don't want to waste
In my state it was actually incredibly helpful to have rainboots and snowboots. (I live in the midwest, and these things are very necessary here.)
Hey can you do a video about the housing and with the cost e puctures because im traing to look online and im kindof interested in the apartements!
Are you allowed to bring in a friend into your dorm from another college to like hang out and sleep?
cant wait for college im class of 2020
brita water bottles are also really helpful
I am watching the playlist with all your college videos and I'm in the class of 2022 but this is so helpful. just a quick question, is there a specific thing that you have to wear for each major?
In college, it all depends on what you're involved in. People regularly show up in sweatpants, t-shirts, and flip flops to class. However, if you're involved in clubs, Greek life, or anything that requires you to dress up business casual, then you do. But there is no actual clothing policy.
ForeverHungerGames19 Thanks! This was helpful.
What did you have on the walls?
I would bring a coffee pot and a thermos, if you drink coffee. Saves money and time from going to the dining haul. And HAIR TIES in bulk, some in your bag and some in your room, they're important and nobody wants to run out of them. And Band aids they're really really important.
YAAAY!!!
can you make a video of the outside of your dorm
hopefully i'll be travelling 3000 miles across Canada to the university of my dreams :)
crossing my fingers for you!!
Forever waiting to go to collage (I’m 18 in 3 years and a bit thoooooo)
Hey so I am going to be a business major this fall and I was wondering if you have to wear business clothes to class. Or if I need to bring business closes for like presentations and such.
Juliet Dazzle you should definitely invest in a suit at some point and bring business casual clothes because your classes may or may not require you to wear them for presentations but you'll go to events that require it
Fun fact for ironing use your hair straightener!
Also fun fact, you'll probably burn your clothing if you do this without doing your research
Done it plenty of times. as long as you do it on clothes you can use an iron on and aren't stupid I promise it will be okay. Like run it the same speed as you would your hair just have to go over it a few times.
ur eyes are so amazing
I always wondered this but... How do you poop without annoying your roommate?
