" School Supplies What you&amp;#039;ll need and how much of it will depend on your course load and teachers&amp;#039; requirements.

Remember, these items don&amp;#039;t all need to be new! Before you go shopping for school supplies, look through your old supplies and see what&amp;#039;s still in good condition. Go through old notebooks and see if there are any unused pages. If so, rip out the old notes, so the rest of the notebook has blank pages. You can also reuse folders and binders. Don&amp;#039;t worry about old doodles or those cheesy portraits of your old crush \u2014 jazz them up with pictures of friends or a collage of your favorite celebrities. There&amp;#039;s no need to spend money on penholders or desk organizers when you can make them yourself! Save aluminum soup cans after you use them. You can use them as is or decorate them \u2014 either way, you&amp;#039;re saving the environment. Packing List for College So, you&amp;#039;re going off to college. With the change of scenery, the new independence, and the responsibility headed your way, packing might be the last thing on your mind.
