You’re leaving the nest and starting your chapter of college and adulthood. But, you need stuff to furnish your dorm room and advice on navigating life on campus and freedom from your parents.
By now, the school has provided a checklist of essentials you’ll need for life away from home. Have the ‘rents share the list with family and friends and invite them over for a going away party.
Some will bring comforters, pillows, lamps, toiletries and other things you’ll need. Some will come with words of wisdom to carry you through the semester. All will enjoy spending time with you as you embark on the next phase of your life.
This playlist is the embodiment of summer and celebrating life.
