Ultimate College Packing List!

I leave for college in almost exactly a month so the frantic search for everything I need in my dorm has officially begun. Surprisingly, you need a LOT of stuff for such a tiny room so its obvious that it can be hard to remember or even think of everything you need. Which is precisely the reason I decided to create this list, to help not only myself, but anyone else who is last-minute dorm shopping and searches "Dorm Room Packing List".
