10 Things Students Forget on Move-In Day

10 Things Students Forget on Move-In Day (According to Oops Logic Research)

At Oops Logic, our research department consists primarily of people who forgot important things at important times.

After extensive observation (and a few embarrassing personal experiences), we've identified the most commonly forgotten items during college move-in season.

1. Pillows

Students remember LED lights but somehow forget the thing their head sleeps on.

2. Shower Shoes

Trust us. Future-you will thank present-you.

3. Laundry Supplies

Dirty clothes do not disappear on their own. We checked.

4. Medicine

Don't wait until you have a cold to realize your medicine cabinet is 300 miles away.

5. Power Strips

Every dorm room has two outlets and approximately thirty-seven devices.

6. Hangers

Your clothes deserve better than being stored in a laundry basket all semester.

7. Basic Tools

Someone will need a screwdriver. It might be you.

8. Snacks

Move-in day burns enough calories to justify emergency cookies.

9. Extra Phone Charger

Because one charger always vanishes into another dimension.

10. The Survival Guide

You knew that one was coming.

The New College Survival Checklist & Guide was created to help students avoid common move-in mistakes, stay organized, and laugh through the chaos.

Because college is exciting.

Paying $24 for a toothbrush you forgot at home? Not so much.

Grab your guide before move-in day and start college one step ahead of the chaos.
