Hi guys! I hope your summer is still going swimmingly! Since my last post I have been quite busy with going to Hilton Head, Black Mountain, and riding the Virginia Creeper Trail. As I previously promised the guys, I found out some specific things that they need to have while living at Heritage. My best advice to you is to notify your roommate before moving in to decide who will be bringing what big items such as the refrigerator, microwave, TV, and printer.

• You can look up the size of your room online to get the dimensions for a rug or carpet.
• alarm clock so you won't be late for those early morning classes
• mirror (there are not any mirrors in your room)
• gaming systems and video games
• desk or floor lamp (the rooms are kind of dark)
• Rubbermaid tubs to slide under the bed for jeans, towels, and etc.
• your favorite posters for decoration
• flashlight
• earplugs or headphones for studying (I have heard it can get quite loud)
• rain jacket
• water-proof boots (we still have class in the snow and the pouring rain, your tennis shoes will be drenched and your feet cold.)
• 3-ring binders, notebook paper, and printer paper
• extra batteries
• 3-shelf bookshelf
• clothes hamper
• clothes detergent and dryer sheets
• extra quarters for the washers and dryers because you have to pay to do your laundry

Unlike the girls who have the football players to help them carry up their stuff, the guys have to carry up their own stuff. So bring your muscles and a friend to help you carry it in.

Remember, these are just suggestions. They are not mandatory. They will just make your life at C-N more organized and comfortable.

Check back next week for some more helpful advice!

Can't wait to meet you,
Natilee Ramsey
