I have a son. He is going to College. He is going to be far from home. What is he packing? He will have a small dorm room, and he can’t just run home on the weekends to do laundry, get different clothes, or any home items. He will not have a car. He will be using public transportation or the college shuttles. So, as I am going through the list of items to pack, I thought I would share with you my Top 10 Things to Pack for College.

1. Surge Protector. Electrical outlets could be sparse in the dorm room, and will be needed for those computers, phone chargers, video game systems, mini fridge and more!

2. Laptop. Many assignments these days are done on the computer, so this is now a must have accessory for college.

3. Mini Fridge, this will come in handy for food and Gatorades, Milk and other items that need refrigeration. Some colleges have water fountains that have the purified water dispensers you can use to fill up reusable cups!

4. Umbrella, so your college student will walk to class in the rain!

5. Proper shoes, like boots, snow shoes, cleats, and athletic shoes. Depending on where the college is located, you will need to be weather aware!

6. PJ’s, good pair of PJ’s Pants for sure!

7. Favorite blanket, pillows and of course those xl twin sheets.

8. Laundry basket, you will need a place to put those dirty clothes, and your room will be cleaner if you put the laundry in the basket.

9. A good pair of Headphones, yes these will be needed for those times you want music or T.V. and your roomy wants to sleep!

10. First Aid kit, bandaids, advil, and other meds you may need.

Oh, and a STEP LADDER! Even the tall boys have a hard time getting into their raised bed!

A T.V. Tray. That way they have a portable table to eat on, along with a fold up camping chair. Things we learned during college move in day last week!

Above is just a list of some top items, you may not have thought of. There is a lot more items needed to hit the school year off right!

Title Boxing Club Video

I have talked a lot about weight loss, losing weight and how I lost 40 pounds in 16 weeks. Part of this success included Boxing, at Title Boxing Club. This isn’t just any boxing class, it is a full body workout! I love taking Boxing Classes, and they call the classes Power Hours. Some people burn around 1000 calories in a class, I normally hit around 600 calories burned in an hour. Watch my short 45 second video below to see what Title Boxing is all about (and yes.. that is me in this Title Boxing Club Video! After you watch the video, see my total results from my 16 week weight loss contest!
