155. Tweezers

Definitely necessary for taming your brows. Invest in a good pair of Tweezerman tweezers and they will last you all of college and beyond.

156. Safety Pins

If you love fashion, don’t forget these. Safety pins are fashion lifesavers for everything from broken straps to holding bra straps in place.

157. Medicine for Upset Stomach

The first aid kit linked above comes with this too, but it never hurts to have extra Pepto on hand for the morning after late night pizza runs.

158. Cotton Pads/Cotton Balls

These are a must for things like nail polish remover, makeup remover, and applying products like toners.

159. Q-Tips

Beyond the obvious ear uses, these are an essential for cleaning up mascara smudges and makeup mishaps.

160. Nail Clippers

Self explanatory; don’t forget these! I like that this two-pack has two sets of clippers for nails and toes.

161. Prescription Medicine

Bring any prescription medicine you’re taking and, if possible, try to get a 3 or 6 month’s supply so you don’t have to bother with refills during a busy semester. Be sure to save your labels so you can refill if you do need to.

162. Retainer/Mouth Guard

Your dentist will be mad at you if you forget this, so make sure it’s on your college packing list.

School Supplies

School supplies is a huge category that depends on personal preferences. See our Ultimate Guide to School Supplies for our full detailed guide to this, but here’s a quick list of what you will want to bring:

163. Pencils

I always get mechanical pencils so I don’t have to bother bringing a separate pencil sharpener. A big pack like this will last you all semester long.

164. Pens

Everyone has their pen preferences, so buy a big pack of your favorites for the semester.

These Jetstream pens are my ride or dies because the tip is super fine and the ink dries instantly, so I never get smudges on my paper.
