About this list:

After graduating from college, I not only miss it like the Arctic misses their cold temperatures, but I want to share my wisdom of what you need in college with every college-bound girl I know. So, this list is a list of the essentials that I think every young college woman should have before embarking on those 4 crazy years. Enjoy.

Qualifications:

Battled my way through living on a student budget.

College Cooking - Feed Yourself and Your Friends

First to recommend

Description

The book for the off-campus college student (leaving those dining halls behind is such a travesty) who has little time, money, and equipment. This cookbook is packed with recipes for study snacks, full on meals, meals for all the roommates, date night meals, and even tips on how to maximize leftovers. Perfect for anyone who's off to school. That way they won't get stuck in the Top Ramen rut that I remember so fondly.

Chandelier Bulb

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is so neat! A glass ring slides onto any bulb (except a CFL?) - and attached onto the glass ring are hooks which hold strands of crystals in place. Basically, turn any lightbulb into a chandelier. So fantastic.

Call Your Mother Mug

Perfect to give your son or daughter who's moving away, going off to school, or leaving on that 6 month study abroad trip that you don't remember why you let them go on. A not so subtle way of reminding them of their most important task while away - calling you!
