When I went to college 30 or more years ago, I too brought mmy sewing machine. It came in quite useful for making curtains and the such. I did nit quilt them, so good idea to bring it along

I am trying to get my daughter ready for a semester abroad (South Africa). She only can bring 50 pounds worth of stuff, so we are trying to figure out what is essential. At least she does nor need winter clothing.

I hope you and your roomy get along better than me and my first one. My MOM met HER MOM and the mothers decided that the two girls should be together. YUK! She was a really nice girl (me - not so much) She was really neat (me - not so much) She was very studious (me - not so much) At night we would both change at the same time. She put on her pajamas - I put on my going-out outfit. When she would get up, I'd roll in. I found a roomy who was much better suited after the first semester (and I managed to get my degree - lol)

I met my roomy and she is awesome! I think we will be pretty good friends!

Have fun, keep track of your goals, make a lot of friends, try to be organized cause mom nor teachers will remind you of tests or papers due. Get involved in some activities, my daughter was involved in making quilts for the day care at the school and the local hospital. Make GOOD decisions. Your future is what you make of it. just remember you can write us whenever.
These are the best times of your life. Don't forget Fluff

How exciting! I wish I were doing my freshman year over again. I was very nervous about having a roommate, but she was wonderful. Great times ahead!
