It’s easy to get caught up in all the cute decor and fun items you want to get your new college freshman for their dorm room. And those things are great! But, a funky lamp doesn’t help when it’s time to get daily life tasks done. Here’s a list of 6 items every college student should have that you may not have thought about.
6 Things You Should Pack For College
- First Aid Supplies – They may be grown and on their own, but boo boos still happen.
- Laundry Tools & Supplies – Gone are the days of mom & dad washing their delicates. Make sure they have something to carry their dirty socks in and the products to make them clean again.
- Water bottles and fridge pitchers – Hydration is going to become paramount after walking to all their classes and up all those steps. Save them some money by sending them a refillable bottle and fridge container. While you’re at it: don’t forget ice trays!
- Extension Cords and Power Strips – Dorm rooms are scarce on outlets, so make sure they can power all of their electronics when they arrive.
- Sleep Aids – No, not sleeping medicine; Ear plugs and a sleeping mask! They will have to adjust to having a (probably noisy) roommate after having their own, quiet room for so long.
- Bathroom Starter Kit – Bulk up their ‘get ready for the day’ supplies with mouthwash, a new toothbrush, deodorant and more. They’re going to be scrimping and saving once they hit those halls, so toss in a high quality razor that will last through every early morning class.
The Schick Hydro 5 is a great option for a student who needs to be somewhere on time and doesn’t want to fuss with low grade blades that take several passes to work. The hydrating system also ensures that a quick shave (because they’re late… you know it will happen…often) won’t damage or dry out their skin.
The Schick Hydro® 5 Blade Razor’s advanced ergonomic design and lubrication features will give you the ultimate shaving experience. Its exclusive Hydrating Gel Reservoir is designed to hydrate your skin throughout each shave, and its five Ultra Glide® blades feature skin guards that will smooth your skin to reduce irritation. This high-performance shaver also features a Flip Trimmer for precise trimming in hard-to-reach areas.
You can find the Schick Hydro 5 at your local Walmart along with an entire Schick razor line with options for every shaving need: Schick® Xtreme 3® Ultimate Razor, Schick® Quattro, and Schick® Hydro Silk® Razor.
