If you are an out of state student looking for some packing guidance, look no further. I remember prior to moving into college I searched all around the internet looking for a good packing list. All of them were so long though, who did they think I was? A billionaire? There is no way I was willing to pay the overweight luggage fee <strong>or<\/strong> the extra luggage fee. Airlines charge for everything, one checked bag is $25, how ridiculous. Everything is so overpriced. Anyways, if you&#8217;re looking for a minimalistic packing list with all the actual essentials that you will need. You have found the place!<\/p>\n<p>In my case, I packed four bags. Two of them were my carry-ons (a duffel bag and a backpack), the other was my checked bag ($25) and the last one was my mom&#8217;s checked bag that I filled with my stuff ($25).<\/p>\n<p><em>Friendly advice: Don&#8217;t overpack. Overpacking is the worst. Think about how hard it will be to move out. Pack as minimally as possible.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Back Pack Carry-On:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>This bag consists of all the expensive and important objects.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Electronics (iPad, Computer, Camera, Cellphone, Speaker, Chargers, etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Personal important documents (Anything you need for applying for jobs [birth certificate, social security&#8230;], anything you need for financial aid, etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Wallet<\/li>\n<li>Keys<\/li>\n<li>Make-up<\/li>\n<li>Water bottle<\/li>\n<li>Umbrella<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Duffel Bag Carry-On: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>This bag consisted of all clothing and beauty supplies I love and use the most.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clothes!

I&#8217;m also very minimalistic, so I&#8217;m not into decking out my dorm room and putting fairy lights and pictures everywhere, which is why my packing and shopping list is so tiny, but if you&#8217;re into that I recommend buying all of those things in Iowa just so you don&#8217;t have to carry so many bags! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My two checked bags ||\u00a0My dad and my brother saying bye at the airport Hello, hello!
