With fall and winter break just around the corner, it is time to start thinking about what you are going to take home with you. This is a great time to clear out and organize your closet that you use in college. Take home your summer clothes and don’t forget your essentials for the long breaks ahead.

Here is a packing list to make sure you don’t forget anything in Columbia, Mo.

take back seasonal clothes:

  • Summer heels
  • Sandals 
  • Skirts
  • Shorts
  • Light dresses
  • Tank tops
  • Old Halloween costumes and accessories 

bring Your every-day essentials: 

  • Chargers for laptop and phone

Finally, my #1 packing tip: Roll, don’t fold. If you are anything like me, overpacking is hard to avoid. Rolling up your clothes may take a little extra time, but it will save you a ton of space in your suitcase.
