Going to be living on my own for the first time. What should I have?

I'll be living with a roommate in a university affiliated housing.

Hopefully the place is furnished.

So far...
- Microwave.
- Coffee maker machine. (lol)
- Tea maker machine. (idk the name of this)
- Sound system.
- Laptop / computer.
- Fridge or mini-fridge for room.
- Bookshelf.
- AC or heater unit depending on how much control I have over the housing's unit.
- Alarm clock.

Spices and seasonings beyond salt and pepper.

Many unis like mine give you at least a mini fridge with a microwave but you probs wanna check that with ur uni. Apart from that you'll need coins for laundry if your schl doesn't have free laundry machines. Ear plugs and fan... some unis have a.cs that turn into heaters at a threshold and then it can get quite stuffy so you need a fan for airflow.
Air freshener
Headphones
Shower slippers, esp if using a shared bathroom
a back-up USB or hard drive. I though upload my stuff on the cloud.

- Tea maker machine. (idk the name of this)

A teapot?

[davidbm95]

Cup of noodles 🙂

Don't get a Kuereg. Get a French press. Better and cheaper coffee!

 

[TheShaker]

Fleshlight

A toaster-oven is crucial, and not the one with slots for bread but a mini-oven type

 

[davidbm95]

Fleshlight

And if the OP is female?

This is also my recommendation.

 

[NuttyEngDude]

Locker and padlock

 

[hiyaman]

A little basket to put your hygiene/shower stuff in would be helpful if you are using a public bathroom.

 

[unnamedlord]

An alarm clock
a bodyguard
a safe
2 ak-47s, 1 rocket launcher and a magnum.
Laser defense system to use against those burglars
Retina scan, fingerprint scan and DNA seq scan
whiteboard outside your door
C4 bombs placed strategically. This is to self-destruct important stuff just in case.
2 gas masks
Containers of thick lead to store radioactive material
a -80 degree freezer
containment suits and decontaminating chambers
stocks of H5N1 virus
30 lab rats
stock of BHK cells
automan and pipette tips
centrifuges
paper clips

Now you know why students take out loans. Parents find it hard to pay for all of this.

 

[Catalystik]

White noise generator/sound machine/loud fan or an app on your phone that does the same thing to drown out frequent misc noises while you try to sleep.

 

[Vespertilio]

very useful replies thx dawgs

 

[911 Turbo]

Band aids and triple antibiotic for cuts and scrapes.

Tylenol, Tylenol pm, and nyquil

 

[NightGod]

Spices and seasonings beyond salt and pepper.

Dear gods, yes. A decent selection of spices can make even the cheapest college-budget meals tasty.

Why do people get banned on these forums?

 

[davidbm95]

I've noticed the people who get banned from these forums, they all have one thing in common. They don't help out at all on the forums, they just post random threads and make jokes.

I think the OP might have been on another thread looking for someone to help break in a mattress. 😉

You forgot about mattresses and pillows. You need good quality mattresses for comfortable and nice sleep.

Haha I hope your serious, because that is seriously funny. That's much easier at Uni, not SDN

 

[khatz]

Don't forget your printer.
