I didn’t have one of these freshman year and now I’m so jealous of everyone who does! It would have made me 10x more organized.

119. Phone

Obviously you need a phone. I’m an iPhone person and I can’t imagine my life without it, but I have friends who live and die for Android phones.

Tip: Get a smartphone with a good camera! You probably won’t bring a separate camera to college (more on that in a minute), so this saves you money.

120. Phone Charger (+ a Spare)

Definitely bring at least two phone chargers to college; I was always forgetting mine so now my extra one lives in my bag forever.

Also, get an extra long charging cord for your room! Dorm outlets are always weirdly placed (and sometimes there’s only one per room!) so this will help you so much.

121. Portable Phone Charger

It’s nice to have a portable phone charger in your bag in case of emergencies, and for under $30, this is some easy peace of mind you can give yourself.

I didn’t bring this to college but I wish I had; it would have saved me multiple times during long days of classes.

122. Headphones

It seems like everyone on campus has AirPods these days, so they’re definitely a must for any college packing list.

I just got a pair this year and they have already changed my life!

123. Batteries

Get at least one pack of AA batteries and one pack of AAA batteries to have on hand for things like TV remotes, wireless mice, bluetooth speakers, etc.

124. Camera(s)

If you’re into photography, you may want to bring a camera to college.

Personally, I just take pics with my iPhone, but I have friends who live and die by their DSLRs. Little instant-print cameras like this one are popular on campus and they’re so fun for party pics.

125. SD Cards

If you’re bringing a DSLR or other digital camera, don’t forget some extra SD cards!
