Happy Monday! I know the fall semester of college this year is going to look extremely different then normal. My brother’s school even told them to bring less than normal in case they get sent home. To the other extreme some school are doing strictly online, for example the Speech Language Pathology Department at my school is completely online this semesters. I can stay home or go to my house up at school. The choice is up to me. Everyone is hoping the spring Semester is a little more normal! When ever it’s time to go back to college here is a extensive packing list!
My packing list is definitely a little long, one reason being I am an over packer and the other being I like to be prepared for anything so I bring everything I could possibly think of. Be sure to head over to Shannon’s blog for her packing list.
