hey everybody I'm back today I'm going to be talking about what i wish i had brought
to college so move in day was august 20th and today is august 26th so i've been here
for almost a full week now and i can indicate a few things which i wish i had packed for
the best possible experience what we are in the middle of right now is hurricane harvey
as some of you may know but it is very hard to get to the store and based on my meal plan
i did the math i can't start my meals during howdy week which is the first week of school
if i want food through the semester we don't have classes during howdy week so i wish i
had brought a frying pan from home because i had to go buy one earlier in the week so
that i could cook some stuff but if i had brought one from home i would have saved a
lot of time money and hassle related to this i wish i had brought a mixing bowl not only
is a plastic mixing bowl good for cooking it is also good for storing things things
that flake off or leave a mess everywhere you just put them into the big plastic bowl
and its perfectly fine perfectly fine every time I've been trying to get hot thing out
of the oven with the good old 12th man towels but they are thin so i burn my hand as well
as probably commit some sacrilegious crime against aggieland so thats no good alright
one last thing to do with cooking i promise is a coffee mug i wish i had brought one because
say i want to eat some ramen in my room i can easily boil water in the mug and add it
to the noodles or i can just put some eggs into the cup mix them up put a little oil
in there and boom scrambled eggs really easy and quick and you don't have to leave your
room to male scrambled eggs if you have a coffee mug i highly recommend watching the
video up here somewhere it'll give you the link to how to do that another one i wish
i had brought more pictures of home or memories i have two pictures i took of philmont really
great experience but beside that my room is kind of bare on the walls i have one picture
back there of kyle field but it's pretty small and everything else is just kind of walls
and stuff this of course is the best shot of my dorm because youtube i have to make
everything look nice but behind the camera where you guys can't see is very plain so
i wish i had brought some more memories of home especially people i only have some nature
shots i have two very small nature shots and i feel its eeeehhh but anyway oh another one
is really important so i have a debit card i made the decision to go with a debit card
instead of a credit card which is kind of complicated i may make a video about that
later but i also brought about $20 of one dollar bills i thought that would be enough
and it's not whenever you ask for a favor or when someone drives you somewhere if you're
really nice you'll pay them back you have to pay with cash which is extremely useful
way more than i had initially thought because without it the only way to pay back debts
is to buy them something from the store in the future and that ends up leaving a bad
taste in my mouth and being akward so i would defiantly recommend bringing lots of cash
or a checkbook i also wish i had some string because there are so many uses for it and
it's like a dollar this one is kind of embarrassing but i brought a ton of body wash and only
one bottle of shampoo so if i want to be really cheap i could use a drop every day but ill
just have to go to the store and buy some more but i wish i had just brought some from
home because i don't have a car and i don't regret not bringing a car to college i think
between the cost of the permit and the cost of gas and the difficulty to park stuff like
that i don't really need a car i can bike to the store yes it sucks but i think it's
worth it just from a money standpoint but that may change as the year goes on who knows
another thing is a baseball hat to be clear i did bring one but it is too small for my
head and being pale and pale people tend to burn every now and then i wish i had brought
a baseball cap which covered my face for the football games and general outdoor activities
because i didn't bring sunscreen either click alright moving on from that kind of stuff
i wish i had brought coupons from home and i wish i had researched what kinds of businesses
and returns were in college station whatever city you will be living in I recommend looking
to see what they have because at home i have mcdonalds coupons and i didn't think to bring
them because i'm dumb but they would have been really helpful like kroger deals at kroger
this one is kind of specific but the college station water is very soft if you know what
that means and if you don't it basically tastes a little like sulphur and personally it dose
not bother me that much i have a lot of experience drinking some really nasty water from boy
scouts but one thing i used to do in the past was put ice into water and drink it before
sleep as part of my ritual to go to bed but here in college station at least if you're
using the standard college rental thing where it's microwave refrigerator freezer thing
in the middle if you use that and pour water into an ice tray the ice tastes like acidic
maybe vinegary cheese and it's really really gross and i have a high tolerance for eating
disgusting things but this is absolutely disgusting and completely vile so i would recommend bringing
a water purifier if you are going to be making ice or if you are somebody ho is particular
about how your water should taste and a lot of people told me to get a water purifier
but i ignored them because they are expensive but if that's a thing for you i would buy
a water purifier so that's all I have for you guys today if you didn't see the previous
video its here somewhere so you can get a more comprehensive list of everything you
should bring to college after this video i'll be making an update and a what i shouldn't
have brought to college video but I'm not ready for that yet because i haven't had the
full college experience but ill do that after classes start on monday in the meantime yeah
thanks guys like subscribe and share if you want and as always i will see you in the next
one bye
