The Gap Year - University Prep

I'm kind of exited to have my own place and buy things for my room. I'll even go as far as saying that I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with too much stuff. Things aren't cheap, especially the essentials which is always a fun fact i life so I've made it an aim of mine to periodically buy the things and slowly check off a list. Ive also found a few online that may also help others going to/planning on going to uni.


1) The most important thing would be the MenACWY immunisation, you will be thrown into a pool of germs e.t.c. Make sure you are vaccinated to help yourself and those who are unable to get the vaccine.


2) Urban Outfitters have recently brought out a lot of good stuff, they're not to cheap and I can't guarantee the quality until I purchase them. So I'll just remain optimistic until the time comes when I can buy them *prays that they don't sell out*.

3) Primark brought out a Harry Potter Homeware range - I missed the initial release and now can't find most of the products - I NEED THE BUNTING ARGHHHH.

4) A colourful Excel sheet - This is basically a very extra list, I've also separated it into necessities per room, i.e Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom. The Paperwork and also bits that I don't necessarily need but I really really want.

5) Something I know that there'll be a lack of is storage so things like baskets and boxes will definitely come in handy.

6) This isn't necessarily a necessity but If you don't want to leave a lot of your clothes behind or you're just really into fashion an extra close rail would come in handy BUT I would wait until you've seen and/or sorted your room to see if you even have the space for it.

7) On the clothes note - A clothes horse - or to put it more simply a drying rack. 'Nuff Said.

These are kind of the main things I've been thinking of, Honestly I think this has been encouraged by massive FOMO, everyones at freshers and moving in. Im stuck struggling to even get a job... yeah. I think Ill try to do somewhat regular updates on the gap year, tbh it is mainly for me to remember.. actually that reminds me, hopefully it shouldn't be too long until I do some interesting things because were getting to the interesting part of the year *happy dance* and I have made a vow with a friend to go on holiday next year so at least there's something to look forward to.
