That was kinda obvious considering your sig

A flask, funnel (beer bong) a good key to shotgun with, maybe a bong or a pipe, the usual stuff.

EDIT: Also various size shot glasses, including but not limited to a single shot, double shot, and 5 shot glass

Hmm... i forgot the duct tape.

 

Sandles, lots of CDRs, awesome and loud computer speakers (better if they're 5.1), posters, a good pair of headphones for quiet hours, and a beer pong table. What? You haven't built a beer pong table yet and you start college in less than a month? What is your problem?

A computer, and don't forget that search button.

 

[halik]

condoms

I'll second the sandals. Dorm showers are foul.

Don't bother with the condoms. You can get them for free from your hall's SHA (student health advocate) :beer:

A waste of money. All it is is a table with slots for the cups so they don't slide. If you wanna be a real hardass I guess you can get it, but it really is a waste of money IMHO

oooh boy : P

i'll let someone else take this one

i'm snickering too much


don't bother, you'll make a makeshift one in dorms with like a table and some couches.

Christmas lights, Scarface poster, Dave Matthews band poster

[kaizersose]

basic medicine (tylenol, stuff for colds)
pocket size digicam (to record those oh so classic college moments)
comfortable backpack

all you need is a full sheet of plywood
go to lowes, get one for like 20$

you now have a beer pong table

i suggest

Ball powder - if you dont know thats bad
duck tape
lots and lots of CD-Rs /DVD-Rs
Sharpies
Digicam
loud ass speakers
A good Comp Chair - the wood ones they provide suck ass
posters - most schools will have a HUGE poster sale like 2 weeks in, you could just wait for that
quarters for laundry

Trust me even if you are doing engineering you will have plenty of time to procastinate espically since it will be your first year and you will just have the basic classes which are easy as heck. Definitely buy some good headphones as your roommate and hall/suitemates will thank you for it. Another good thing is possibily an X-box or something (having NCAA hall tournaments was popular last year). And yea LOTS of quaters. You'll find out the best time to do laundry is usually in the early morning on weekends or late at night on weekdays. And if you don't have any connections to people 21 or over, make them asap. Or find a few friends with those connections. And just to reinforce what others have said, take some flip-flops for the shower you'll be glad you did. BTW, what college will you be going to?

EDIT: Do you know for sure wether you have to carry a laptop? I've found them to be more of a hassle than anything else while taking to class and just another way to not pay attention (IM and crap like that).

I've got my Xbox

I'd rather carry it, seems more convenient.

I'm going to UC Berkeley.
