Do you feel old ?

My twin brother's Alex & Taylor are in there senior year.  Yes, that is right not only are they seniors but they are 18 years old.  Those of you who have known me for a long time that a lone can make you feel old.  So, I have been on a mission to collect items that they will need for college.  You know those things that you needed but didn't remember until after you had done the shopping with your parents.  And, since there is two of them this could be quite expensive but spread out over there last school year and with sales not so bad.  I made a list of items, trying to think of what is need for college.  Let me know if I am forgetting anything.


This was the first 2 items I thought of but according to the boys this is now a combo unit that is provided by the school.  Seriously....Oh and did you know that now you will recieve an email telling you that your laundry is finished, you don't have to wait for it.  Oh, and that almost every school A & T looked at have computer labs in there dorms.  Seriously?!?  I remember if you wanted to go to the lab you had to truck across campus rain or snow.  I can't wait to visit them in college....I hope they know I expect a weekend of fun and a football game, how fun!

the growing list

Let me know what I am forgetting.  It is weird think about this from a boy's point of view.  I thought what color should the towels be, white so they can bleach them or may navy blue or gray so they don't get mixed up with someone elses?  Guys have a toiletry bag for the shower?  Will they wear sandles in the shower? they should, yuck!  The only think I did remember were my friends that would not do laundry until they ran out of socks or underwear, some of actual went and bought underwear to avoid doing the laundry...oh the good old days of Trinity.  All thoughts are more then welcomed.

There was a good reason I left college with over 90 pairs of underwear...

Depending on where they decide to go to school...walking to class can be pretty cold, windy, or even wet. So warm and waterproof outdoor gear is always good to have handy.
