Bed accessories: Lap desks, book lights or those “husband” pillows with arms. These things encourage reading in bed. Which just encourages sleeping.
‘Starry Night’: Or any equally pedestrian poster. We promise there will be at least three hanging on any freshman wall.
NFL blowup chairs: You’re going to school, not a sports bar.
One-cup coffeemakers: What are the chances that you’ll keep milk in your mini-fridge? OK, milk that didn’t expire three months ago?
High-school memorabilia: So you were valedictorian… and track champ… and homecoming king. Now you’re a lowly freshman–just like everyone else. Enjoy it.
Your significant other: The travel, the phone bills, the stress. Half-way through the year, you’ll see how insignificant young love can be.
