The Ultimate Back To College Shopping List

Hello Lovelies!!

The back-to-school season is upon us! Now shopping for back to school has always been hectic as students seem to grow exponentially, needing a whole new wardrobe, and the teachers seem to want completely different sets of school supplies each year! But what is probably more stressful than buying another one of the latest calculators every twelve months is shopping for college!

Whether you are leaving home to move into the dorms or you are renting your first place off-campus, the adulting gets real. Now in addition to new clothes, books, and supplies, you will need ramen, detergent, advil, pillows, towels, and so much more! So, here is my ultimate list of the back-to-college supplies you will actually need during the best four years of your life!

Below is a detailed breakdown of all my must-have items above, including shoppable links and the reason why I chose each item!
