<\/a><\/p>\nTissues: <\/b>As much as we all try to deny it, at some point it\u2019s going to happen: you\u2019re going to get sick, and there\u2019s nothing worse than being stuck in the middle of class with a runny nose and no tissues when you\u2019re already not feeling 100%.<\/p>\n
First-Aid Kit: <\/b>See above. As much as you try to deny it, it\u2019s going to happen. In fact, I like to believe that my freshmen year taught me precisely how accident-prone I am.<\/p>\n
Business Attire (Grown-Up Clothes): <\/b>Nope, your least-faded t-shirt and jeans without holes in them don\u2019t count. You never know what job or internship opportunity may present itself, and roaming through the halls of your res. hall trying to piece together an outfit by borrowing isn\u2019t nearly as fun as it sounds.<\/p>\n
Umbrella: <\/b>Don\u2019t worry, you can thank me on the first Monday that it\u2019s pouring rain and you have a 7:45 am class. And nope, classes don\u2019t get cancelled because of a little extra moisture in the air.<\/p>\n
Earplugs: <\/b>As much fun as the community living of res halls can be, at some you\u2019re going to want to quiet things down to hit the books (or at least your bed!) However, keep in mind that not everyone may have the same schedule as you, and while you\u2019re working on homework at 1:00 pm, that might be someone else\u2019s morning jam session, the kids\u2019 across the hall Breaking Bad<\/i> marathon, or a snorer\u2019s naptime. Your solution? Earplugs.<\/p>\n

So there you have it new Warhawks: five things that I definitely forgot my freshman year so now you don\u2019t have to. Plus, here\u2019s a bonus for you: one thing I didn\u2019t forget, but also definitely didn\u2019t need:<\/p>\n
Quarters: <\/b>Seriously, everyone and their brother told me to bring quarters to college for washing machines, driers, vending machines, etc. What they didn\u2019t tell me was that Whitewater has this super convenient thing called Purple Points that you can put right on your HawkCard, and that\u2019s how you operate all of those former quarter-eating machines. Nifty, huh?
