College Preparation: Healthy Kids Articles

I certainly would think that going off to college is a heady occasion-- a possibility to know brand-new things and meet brand-new individuals. And bear in mind that (if you're a guy) you'll wish to make a great first impression on the girls! However if you're women and are reading this, well, ladies like to be organized with their storage rooms, storage bins and their apparel-- it makes it easier to "accessorize"!


In the end, whether you are a guy or a lady, it will be ultimately valuable to your studies and grades to have all these things arranged and organized. So take it to heart, and get a head start !

Also, if you have certain needs taken care of in advance, your study time won't be interrupted. So why not put a bit of time into these considerations - things like having a drink machine (or two) right in your room - a mini-frig may help ..  

Tea is fundamental to helping you wind down from hours of intense study - something along the lines of chamomille tea, or lavender tea

Fundamentally, if you take some time to become acclimated to your university's rules before you attend you'll be better off -- and why not watch some of the videos online with advice, and points of interest. You'll find out things that are required of you for College, and also the layout of the college grounds and parking lots - so you'll find out things such as whether there's a cafeteria, vending machines, and whether or not microwaves or tea kettles and coffee makers are permitted in one's dorm room.

Just pack as light as you can, as the majority of college graduates will tell you this was the main mistake they made as a freshman; if at all possible, contact your roommate to be so you can discuss the floor plan of your room, and what will be alloted to whom.  Also, try to find out rules regarding visitors, as you undoubtedly will have some at holiday breaks.

Good fortune be with you -
