SCOTT YOU’RE MAKING COLLEGE SOUND SCARY

This is such a boujie list. I’ve been in college for 5 years, and unless you’re high maintenance, you’ll like maybe 20% of this. Definitely get an umbrella, desk lamp, and a toolbox though. College isn’t too scary. You’ll be alright young-ins

Can you imagine how insane someone would look if they arrived at school with all the things this guy recommends

Great tips, also: 1. strainer basket "collander" for quick small bits of laundry and to wash delicates that can't be machine washed (in the sink). 2. Air purifier or houseplant. 3. Small cooking apliance for convienance (if there is a community kitchen).

- Consider bringing a second power strip, and bringing that one with you to classes for the first week. If you end up in a classroom that hasn't been updated and has like four outlets for fifty people, you'll be guaranteed an outlet, and four or five extra people will be able to plug in their laptops. Even better if you can get one with twistable outlets, in case someone has one of those bulky chargers that block off an extra outlet. - Large Ziploc bags - they make plastic bags you can connect to vacuums to vacuum-pack bulky stuff like out-of-season sweaters, but you can get more or less the same effect by putting them in a regular Ziploc, closing the zipper except for an inch or so, and then sitting on the bag before closing that last inch. - Not so much an item to pack as something I've done more times than is reasonable: If you need a stapler and nobody has one, you can pry empty staples out of nearby bulletin boards and 'manually' staple your pages together. Looks a bit odd, but it's better than nothing.

A note on allergy meds. Try to avoid Benadryl if you take it in the am. It will make you sleepy and might affect class performance. (You shouldn't take it to help you sleep unless you have an allergy preventing you from sleeping. The sleep they give you lacks REM sleep which is what makes you learn and feel refreshed) Zyrtec is going to work the same, but wont make you sleepy so you can take it in the morning.

As a current college junior living in a dorm for the 3rd year 98% of this is accurate. I would recommend splitting some stuff up with your roomie tho (if you can, like yall only need one toolbox, but you both should get the bed shelf) so the bill doesn't add up

Thank you so much for making these. I’m going to college in a few months and honestly- I was super overwhelmed at first. Your videos have made me realize that I have so many other people in the same place, and that I’m not alone. I also actually feel prepared and excited, something that didn’t seem possible with all the stress of trying to navigate college. Thank you, I want you to know that these videos really do help(:

Scott is every college student’s saviour. He’s honestly awesome

Ok, deadass? I really wanna thank you for this series, I watched all of them before my freshman year and you SAVED me. The umbrella, the storage, EVERYTHING. THANK YOU.🥰

“GETTING A KETTLE IS LUXURY!!!” me a british person: it’s apart of every house hold

I am 6 years away from college but I still watch these a lot-

This needs to be an add for college students

you honestly don't need most of these things. Definitely get a fan, bring formal clothes, bring an umbrella if you'll use it, you might want to bring a couple tools, check if your dorm allows extension chords before you bring one, and everything else just wait to see if you need it when you actually move in. You don't want to be wasting money on a bunch of unnecessary things when you're a new broke college student. And you don’t want to shove a bunch of stuff you don’t need into your already cramped dorm

I swear Scott is the adds we actually want to watch Also he's awesome keep it up 👍

Hey y’all! I’m a college student and something I did for a makeshift nightstand is grab one of those sets of drawers from Target and put it on top of my desk, which is under my lofted bed. It gives me more storage and works perfectly!

I’m not gonna be able to enter college until 3 more years, but honestly this is a LOT more helpful. My sister watched these too, and let me tell you, these tips were a life saver.

0:35 I’ve got an 8am and my roommate usually has class around noon and they really thank me for staying quiet. I make it a point not to disturb them so we don’t argue in the future lmao

I'm not even in college this sounds like a nightmare.

Honestly, if i was gonna get a dorm in college, this video is a LIFE saver! Thanks for the tips!

I'm moving into my first dorm in the Fall and this is a complete lifesaver, honestly. Thank you! I'd love to see more

A little stool, he says. But he does not know the power of BEING UNNATURALLY TALL

I’m watching these like the college I’m about to go to isn’t literally 5 minutes away from my house and I’m gonna live at home

As someone going into college in about a month, I appreciate these videos!!!

You are making college shopping so much easier I start this fall and I’m so nervous I’m so lost but thanks to your videos and tips o feel better please don’t stop making them ❤

Scott speaks faster than I run 😂

the first one is really the saying " Never judge a book by its cover"

5:25 I did like a visitation to a local University (in the uk) every dorm had a kettle

I found this recently! I'm a high school senior and this came in just in time!

Yay. In a good few years I'm going to college and I will make sure to watch this the summer holidays before I go there.

My roommate in a few years will be asking me a bunch of questions when they see me with 1000 things just because this guy told me to bring the items

Scott your amazing! It's cool you do this. I didn't find out till I got to college what I really needed! None of the stuff I brought, lol! Parents should be watching these. I'm a grandparent and do! 😊

I just love how Scott makes everything sound too literal 😅

The amount of times I laughed during this video🤣🤣. This was great, helpful, and entertaining. Thank you! You are very funny😂

I'm not even planning on going to college but i keep writing down all these things you say, thanks fo rmaking a video of alot of them cause this is better then scrolling to find them all, love your content!

I literally have been saving your videos like this so hopefully I see this when I’m college lol!

I'm going to my first semester of college this fall and this series is taking up my Amazon kart 😂 (thanks for combining all the parts into one it was a struggle to find them individually 😂)

8:26 meanwhile me fitting 3 of my friends plus myself in my twin XL at home but we’re all large and we slept with our legs hanging off the bed

Thing to bring that were pretty useful: Scrubba wash bags- they're great to use if you need to wash a few things to wear for a couple of days. Plus it's compact. A lantern that has a solar panel and hand crank: quite useful if there's a black out and saves you money on batteries. Plus you can double it as a desk lamp. Power banks with built in wires: quite useful if you keep on misplacing your charging wire when you're rushing out the door. Travel cutlery: quite useful if there's no cutlery around or if you're a bit of a germphobe. Collapsible travel mug and/or insulated mug: the collapsible travel mug comes in handy and it saves on space in your bag. The insulated mug is great on those cold days/nights when studying or relaxing. Insulated water bottle: great for warm weather.

Tip: Get shower caps (free from hotels and pretty cheap too) if you don't have the silicone lid thing. They are light, space-saving, and reusable!

You can also use a paper clip to hold pages together

thank you! I need this

Congratulations! You just saved many many many many many many many many many lives

5th year of college person here. You’ll be fine guys ^w^. Good luck, and make connections SERIOUSLY.

7:22 this made me giggle 🤭 thanks scott

I’m gonna be a freshman this fall so thank you so so much for this!! So helpful

Scott makes college sound fun sometimes

I’m a childfree 40 yo, long since graduated college and never lived on campus anyway… watched the whole thing because your delivery is so funny

I can confirm the Loop earplugs are good, I get overwhelmed extremely easily and it takes away the audio aspect of it :D

The fan for me is a MUST HAVE. They crank up the heat in the dorms during the winter months, so the pipes don’t freeze, which means I end up using a fan even with the freezing weather outside

Wow 1 min not bad I NEEDED THIS

6:37 that sounds good for time of the months

I am subscribed to your channel and your the best u make the best videos and ur so funny ❤❤

The “the future is now”😂😂😂😂 At 2:41 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

I actually have the food silicone lids, and they are INSANELY useful! They come in like 8 sizes, would highly recommend

My bi posture wont let me use a lap desk lmao

Thank you so much❤

I can testify, those loops earplugs are the best I’ve ever used.

Ive tried the loop earplugs. They work so well. 10/10 recommend

A lot of these tips are very situational depending on what college you go to. A bike and umbrella is probably unnecessary at smaller college where everything is within 5-10 mins walking distance maximum, but better for a larger one where everything is more spread out. Dorm decor/storage like the step stool and bookshelf lamp would depend on the dorm's individual room size and what's their default furniture

The speed of your speech is great:3

0:45 plastic wrap or like the silver foil thingy works excellent for that too!! :)

As a sophomore preparing for college, I see this list as an absolute win

I ain’t in college yet but the MOMENT before I move in,I’m running to this corner of the internet to see what I need😅😅😂😂

Haha watching this to prepare for September now

Not me whose LITERALLY in elementary school but I’m watching these videos cuz I think they are rllly reallly rlly helpful so THANK YOU:

I am going to search for this video in 5 years. Oh boy, can’t the future just wait.

SCOTT I AM IN THE 10TH GRADE YOU’RE STRESSING ME OUT

1:51 Yeah I was still deadlifting my laundry bag bc I refused to do laundry until I was out of clean underwear or some shit

Waiting for res applications to open. Very happy my res is two separate rooms

I watched you for recess on the tv in our room (5A) lol

This dude is a hero

yes you deserve a oscar

Starting my freshman year of college in two weeks and im terrified lol. this was super helpful

5:39 as Pennsylvanian I can confirm this happens every day

2:42 I had one. It broke on the way to class on a huge downpour. I live off campus and was just near my building when it happened. Not a fun day 😢

No one: Me: *giggles as I steal this to use for my private high school*

I'm in middle school and I'm already preparing myself mentally and physically for college

Ok I am obsessed with trolls band together and I literally got an ad for the movie right before this video and I was watching spoilers before this

HOW THE FRICK AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THIS?!

6:12 sir i drink canteen water I only fear the flint Michigan water as i need no more brain damage

So accurate

In my dorm I am fortunate (or unfortunate) to have carpet floors. If you do have carpet floors get carpet cleaner cuz nothing is worse that spilling your dining hall burrito bowl that you brought back to your dorm so you could watch youtube in peace all over your carpet and not having a way to clean the sour cream out of the carpet. Seriously its a life saver.

holly is a queen

I LEGITIMATELY HAVE THAT SAME STEP STOOL.

2:09 bro that’s my 3 yr old sister’s stool to wash her hands- 💀😂

😁😁thanks

Trusting the algorithm to bring me back next year

As a person about yo graduate collage soon this is helpful

I’m scared of 6th grade bc the school is like- “you need to do 2 big tests by the end of class Friday-“

i remember the first time i watched one of these i was thinking that i still had a long time to think about my college dorm *i graduate in 3 months*

Hey I did the same when I was young but called for being “skinny” and not “eating enough” Stay healthy don’t let hate get to you and I love your mask

I can confirm allergies are bad in PA. 5:48

I didn't need allergies medication when i when away for college for a year in Brunswick GA by Saint Simons island, but the moved to Athens, GA and my seasonal allergies came back in 2017 sarly like they haven't left me for a year away at college by the Georgia coast.

I never thought I would need to bring a pool noodle to college

Going to college in 3-4 months and I realized I'm so not prepared 😅.

You did it

I think the only thing I still have from my first semester of college is my medicine box/first aid kit the amount of times it came in handy was nuts

This is awesome because my brother is going to college soon
