Is your apartment unfurnished? If so you will need some basic furnishings:

• a table
  
• some chairs to go with that table
  
• comfortable seating of some sort- possibly a couch (a futon is nice if you are going to possibly have guests sleep over) or love seat or upholstered chair of some sort
  
• a TV if you feel like you want one (optional)
  
• a bed and a mattress and some bedding and sheets (obviously)
  
• a bedside table (optional)
  
• somewhere to store your clothing if your room does not come with a closet already
  
  As far as basic living supplies go:
  
  
• 4 spoons, knives, forks
  
• mugs
  
• 2 dinner plates, bowls
  
• some knives for cooking
  
• cutting board
  
• mixing bowl
  
• spatula (HEAT RESISTANT) and turner and spoons for mixing. Also possibly a whisk but really you could usually get the job done with a fork
  
• cheap set of pots & pans
  
• a cookie sheet
  
• a fan is usually useful for some airflow
  
• microwave if this is already not included
  
• books just for fun
  
• cleaning supplies: shower cleaner, clorox wipes, swiffer, toilet cleaner, dish soap, windex
  
• plunger & toilet brush
  
  School supplies in college are pretty basic- you don't need much, but depending on your major this could go waaay up or down. But as far as I'm concerned your basic supplies are as follows:
  
  
• laptop (optional- there are always computers everywhere anyway, laptops are just convenient)
  
  
• notebooks and folders OR binder with looseleaf paper, depending on your organizational preference
  
  
• stapler
  
  
• pens and pencils (I like to have two different colors for pens)
  
  
• calculator (if you will be taking math courses- go for scientific because a lot of the time graphing is not allowed)
  
  Things to consider:
  
  
• Will you be paying for wifi and/or basic cable (if you want a TV)?
  
  
• Is your lease for a year or X months? If it is a year, will you have to sublease while you're away for the summer (if you are going away)?
  
  
• How far from campus do you live? What does the general area look like? Are you going to have to take public transportation different places? Know the area.
  
  I know its scary, but living alone is great, and studying in a university is really not a huge deal once you get into the rhythm of things. You'll do great, kid.

I decided to draw one want and one need, If I win I will let you decide which to get. I created a little pre-horror movie scene scene that shows both items and can be seen here. My drawing skills alone are the real horror show lol.

Need: A new set of towels, my husband and I both have towels filled with holes, fraying and stains any time big spills need cleaned we have to use our towels. I would love to get a pair of new towels and retire the two old towels as the clean up towels.

Want: A new set of kitchen knives, I've been trying to cook healther and eat better which means I've been cooking at home a lot more since we stopped eating fast food. My kitchen knives are old and well crap I would love to replace them.

Thanks for the contest!

I would buy one 4qt pot, one medium-sized nonstick frying pan, a baking sheet, a 9x13 baking pan, and a rice cooker to start out. Also a wooden spoon, a spatula, a pair of tongs, a couple of those cutting board mat things, and some cheap bowls to mix things in. And a set of knives. I have these and they are silly-looking but actually great: https://www.amazon.com/Farberware-Classic-Color-6-Piece-Non-Stick/dp/B0050NDYOQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1472837786&sr=1-1&keywords=kitchen+knives+farberware

You might want more stuff but try that and see what you wish you had. You can buy everything from Target or Amazon or something and they'll be pretty cheap.

I have these ones. They have so many different ones, and sometimes they go on sale for pretty cheap, since they have them in some stores.

I have these pretty colored knives for keeping us safe and preparing foodstuffs!

I had TONS of things in common with my match. She likes lisa frank and I like lisa frank. She likes adorable necklaces and so do it! She likes kinder hippos and I love those damn things!! They are on one of my wishlists. She wants this and I bought that exact same set on 01/30 of this year. She likes Rachael Ray and that is my favorite cookware set. I have her plates in green! She likes colorful knives, guess who bought that set back in March? She has contacts and I have contacts! I just added that to my wish list too. She likes makeup and I love makeup. Those brushes are amazing, btw. She also had quite a few makeup items that I liked, but I wasn't about to link all those. Ditto with books!! My random person is pretty awesome.
