The third and final post in our series on what to bring to college focuses on the really important stuff - the stuff you were probably going to forget. Don't spend your first few weeks running from store to store. Read this list, pack accordingly, and let the party begin.

"Hey. Dorm rooms are pretty big, maybe my roommate and I can just bring two of everything?" No! Shut your mouth when you're talking to me. Listen: your dorm is small. The last thing you need to do is clutter it with two refrigerators, two microwaves, two 4-foot bongs, etc. Here is a list of things we here at DormDelicious think you need to split and share when you come to college.

Sometimes it's what you DON'T bring that matters.

There are lots of sites out there that will tell you what to bring to your college dorm when you first move in. Let’s face it, though, they are probably out-dated or written by a parent that wants you to over-prepare and end up with a room full of stuff you’ll never use. This series of articles will bring together all the what to bring lists into one up-to-date super list that leaves out the unnecessary. For easy reading, I’ve divided the list into parts: essentials, easily forgotten items, if you must, and major purchases.

Okay, so I was one of those freshmen who brought way too much to college, but there's something to be said for being over-prepared. My reputation for "having it all" got around the dorm quickly, and I met quite a few people thanks to my over-preparedness. After all, you'd be surprised how many people tried to open their first can of spaghetti-o's, only to find that -- uh oh -- they didn't have a can opener. And who knew the lemon juice I'd brought to highlight my hair with would so appeal to the drinking crowd?
