The transition from high school to college can be downright scary. For most of us, it’s our first time really being away from that comfortable bubble we call home. Trust me, even if you’re going to a school close to home, dorm life can make you miss your mom and dad even before the first week is up. And it gets even worse when laundry time comes around.
But don’t worry, some of those who came before you have kindly shared their skills to making college life a little easier. Take a look before hitting the books.
