One of the most daunting tasks for incoming college freshmen every year happens before classes\u00a0even start. Packing your entire life to move to a new environment is challenging, especially when\u00a0it comes to your closet. With limited closet space, every item should be purposeful and\u00a0functional. As a college sophomore that has mastered the ability to pack light, I have compiled
\nmy top five often forgotten but helpful items that are essential to any college closet.<\/p>\n

\nRegardless of where you go to college, a zip up jacket that you can throw over anything is a\u00a0must. For class, it is always best to dress in layers because while it may be hot outside, most\u00a0buildings are often freezing cold inside. A zip up allows you to be prepared and dress for both\u00a0climates.<\/p>\n
\nOne of the best perks about being in college is that you can finally wear a hat in class! This is a\u00a0lifesaver in your eight am lecture or if you need to hide your dirty, unwashed hair. It can also\u00a0serve as an accessory to your outfit or just something to shield your face from the sun.<\/p>\n
\nSomething that people do not think about when packing clothes for college is professional\u00a0events. Paired with a sweater, you can wear these pants to a networking event, presentation or a\u00a0job interview. The possibilities are endless. This will also save you time and money compared to\u00a0the scramble of buying these last minute.<\/p>\n
\nA shocking fact that I learned is that not everyone thinks to bring a raincoat to college. When\u00a0needed, a raincoat is incredibly useful to not only keep yourself dry but to also protect your\u00a0laptop and books while walking around campus. It can also double as a thin jacket for layering
\nwhen needed.<\/p>\n
\nMany Greek life organizations, professional clubs, and student groups may host a formal during\u00a0the semester. A formal is a party hosted and thrown by the group where attendees typically wear\u00a0a dress similar to a homecoming dress or suit. Packing clothes you know you are comfortable\u00a0and confident in will make your life easier down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
