This week my oldest son is attending his college orientation so I am currently preparing for his move into the dorms.
Since this is my first child to move away, I must admit that I am feeling a bit like this…
However, since I do have to let him go I may as well make sure he has all the necessities in his new dorm room.
While browsing the internet I found the website for Bed, Bath & Beyond very well organized and offering everything a boy could need for his first year in college…and then some!
Bedding ~ clean, classic stripes in two shades of blue…
Alarm Clock ~ he is going to NEED one of these since he wont have Mom waking him up. This one has a “shaker” to put under your pillow…
Laundry Bag ~ this will come in handy to carry all his dirty clothes home for Mom to wash!…
Closet Organizers ~ these are wonderful to make the most of your limited closet space…
Desk top organization and lighting ~ these lights work triple duty with storage and electronic plugs…
Quirky Pivot Power Surge Protector ~ you can never have enough outlets these days…
Electro Man Multi Outlet Plug ~ these guys are fun and functional!…
Storage Cubes ~ these can be stacked or hung on the wall…
Bed Lifts ~ another clever way of adding extra storage under the bed…
And finally…just for fun.
Funkalicious Toss Pillow ~ you can even create your own graphics…
Bean Bag Chairs ~
All this will make his first year away from home a little more organized and easy to handle…but what about me? I wonder what Bed, Bath & Beyond sells for Mom’s experiencing “separation anxiety”!

ReplyDeleteEverything is packed here except the clothes, shoes, and personal items (getting it done tomorrow). Her big sis and I made a list of "must haves" a few months ago, as she has been there done that. It REALLY came in handy. We gave a copy to her roommate & mom as well. Of course, girls always take waaay more than the guys!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat fun ideas! I have a son who is about to start driving and I really feel like the cartoon!

Just the idea of my boys going to college one day gives me a pit in my stomach. I am thinking about you and wishing you the best! Why does it have to go by so fast?

Hahaha I love that cartoon! It looks like he's all set!! If he's sharing showers with other people, make sure he's got some cheap flip flops! The floors can be kind of gross!! :)
