1. Tissues. You will cry, whether missing your family, a boyfriend or your dog, something is gonna hit you within the first few weeks.
2. Condoms. Not meaning to be crude but the likelihood is you're gonna have sex, and if you don't someone else in your flat is going to and they're probably going to need some protection too.
3. Some kick-ass slippers. I originally came to uni without slippers and boy was that the worst idea. I now own a pair of cute little cream slip ons which have been abused since they were bought!
4. Plants, plants, plants. Greenery will brighten your days when you're feeling a little homesick and trust me it happens to everyone. I was convinced I wouldn't miss home but I find myself going back rather frequently for a cuddle with my puppy.
5. Speakers. The flats all around you will have their music blaring and the walls are so thin you can hear every word. The only way to drown them out... Play your music louder.
6. So much moisturiser. I don't know what it is about uni but everyone seems to get dry skin within the first week or so. Maybe it's the excessive consumption of alcohol?
7. Reminders of home. I brought a pin board and a painting my brother did with me and every time I see them it makes me happy. I'm probably just a home girl!
There you have it... all the things I think a person needs to take to uni in order to feel more at home. Hope you enjoyed this post, keep reading for more beauty, fashion and lifestyle writing!
