When I was accepted for my first program, I immediately began to think about what I would pack. After being accepted for my second program, I starting thinking about it again, especially since I made so many packing mistakes during my last program. Last year, I left all my packing to the last moment (like literally the day I flew out), and my bags were too heavy and I had to set aside things to be shipped, which never got shipped. It was all a nightmare. This time I'm planning and preparing better. Before you look at this list, I want to give you two pieces of advice: 1. Don't just look at my list, look for more (Pinterest is a good place) because I might have a very different personality from you and need different things from you, and 2. Think about how you're travelling, if you're flying it makes more sense to pack as little as possible and buy things in Florida, but if you're driving, it might more sense to pack your things so you don't have to spend money buying things you already own. The list will be organized by room. Items in italics are suggestions of things that might be helpful, but aren't a necessity. Many may be easier to purchase in Florida, bring it if you have it and have room, but if you don't already own it, it's better to buy it in Florida. I recommend taking this list and making two lists: First, make a list from all the things on this list that you already own and use that as your packing list. Second, take the rest of the items on the list, and use that as a shopping list once you get to Florida. You might also consider asking for some of the things on the list. Don't forget to add thing you think you need and take off things you don't think will be useful to you. Bedroom
Bathroom
KitchenYou don't NEED anything for the kitchen, but there are several things that I highly recommend. The kitchen already comes with plates, cups, bowls, mugs, silverware, pots and pans and lids, a spatula, and some mixing bowls.
Living Room
ClothingYou'll spend most of your time in your costume, so you don't need to bring a lot of clothing. Last year I got by with barely any clothing, so this time I plan to not bring too much, but I did learn a lot about what clothing I will/won't need.
Toiletries & Personal Items
Other
Is there anything else on this list that you can't live without? What did I miss? Comment below!
