Master Check List

My recommendations may be a bit biased since I enjoy going out and dressing up frequently, so feel free to ignore the recommendations that you feel aren’t relevant to you. However, if you plan on going out, I would definitely take note of my recommendations, or maybe even bring more! This list will not work for everyone, these are just my preferences.

💡 Tips

Don’t bring everything in your closet to school! My general recommendation for clothing is to bring what you wear at home (jackets, tops, bottoms, hats, etc.) and to keep the clothes you are on the fence about at home. If you find that you want something, you can always bring it back over break or have someone send it to you.
Learn to layer!! This might mean you want to bring a variety of sweaters/sweatshirts and light jackets/heavier jackets
Leave your high school merch at home.
Bring your random spirit wear so you don’t have to buy stuff last minute!! This might include a few items under each of the categories:
Costumes (you will want a few for Halloweekend)
Headbands, outfits, etc.
Cheap sunglasses that you don’t mind losing
Sports jerseys for jersey-themed parties
Heart-themed/pink/red clothing for Valentine’s Day
Green clothes for St. Patrick’s Day
Any fun pants or shirts that can be fitted to different themes!! (e.g. jerseys, angel halos)
Want to print your doc?
This is not the way.
Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (
CtrlP
) instead.
