Congratulations on starting college soon, girl! Have fun in NC and keep us posted on how everything goes! I literally just graduated from college in May, so I'm so jealous you get to start this journey.
You're roommate is so lucky to have such a kind, considerate person like you to be rooming with!! I can't wait to also feel like I'm apart of your college experience as well! xx
Dorm hauls give me the feels. I love watching them but they also stress me out because I haven't picked up one thing for college (except my laptop) and I move in in two weeks.
From 4 years experience I recommend: shower shoes and Caddy Bed lifts Your own personal medicine cabinet (cold stuff, bandaids etc) Microwave Microwavable snacks Disposable utensils Under-bed storage Fan/personal heater Headphones for use in the library I'm thinking about filming a video on must haves for college. I'll be sure to let you know if I end up filming it. xoxo Gabby
omg hannah seems like such a cool girl! you're so sweet for buying things for her part of the room and just match the entire room together with the all white and bits of colour! ahhh so lucky!
I'm so glad that you didn't majorly overbuy things for your room. So many beauty gurus have been buying to much stuff for their tiny dorms. I really like your color scheme too, and you are super sweet for bringing your roomie a little gift
I'm a junior so I have some dorm experience :). I loved having a hot water boiler/electric kettle and a coffee maker (or just a French press pot) to make tea and coffee in my room. Definitely essentials if you have room! I also like having a small dry erase board above my desk, or maybe you and your roommate could share one and draw fun things on it, but perhaps not an essential. But I had a kitchen in my freshman dorm. It will be really nice to share a bathroom with 3 other girls and not have a communal hallway one, I had that same setup in my freshman dorm and my friends who went to schools where they had communal bathrooms made it sound awful! But my one piece of advice is beware of overpacking because I know I brought way too much stuff, mostly clothing! I would say now would be a good time to clean out your closet of old things you'll never wear again and change up your wardrobe over holiday breaks. Good luck! I am excited for you, you seem to be really looking forward to college!
Katy you are so incredibly talented at what you do. Your intros are never short of amazing and I really appreciate it. Your passion shines through in what you do so thank you for sharing it.
Cant wait for a college dorm tour! You shouldnt forget a little box or something for your earrings and jewerly when taking them off before bed, just in your nightstand
Oh my goodness! So excited to see this video! Reminds me of my freshman year moving in! (I'm a senior now still on campus!) You are going to LOVE the new dorms!! I feel like they are in a good location for getting to class, the library and major hangout places!! And I love the way you are doing your room! Especially with the white and all the colorful accents. You may know a lot of people on campus already, but if you have any questions on what to bring, scheduling classes, or what to expect during orientation, let me know!! Get excited!! you are going to LOVE it here :)
Katy I hope you have so much fun in college! I can't wait for more college theme videos from you and possibly dorm room tours and college advice videos?? Haha love you!
I highly suggest getting a can opener and a microwavable bowl! Two things I never thought about bringing but had to run out and purchase later in the semester...
You seem so legitimately happy. Like your voice, it has got some weird peace over it lately ... I don't know, I just watched your latest video before this one and I recognized the same thing in that one. It's so inspiring - like you don't really do anything besides sounding a lot more genuine cheerful and your eyes are just sparkling. Can't wait to follow you through your college experience! I'm, myself, going to something like a college it's in tenth-grade and different from colleges in the US, but this video defiantly made me realize that I have to get those hangers and the shoe-storage-thingy as well! haha I dearly love your videos and the meaning and message you want to get out. It's so blessing. xxxx and the biggest wishes - Sarah from Denmark!
Hey Katie! I'm living in a college for 3 years, and one thing you'll absulutely need is a full-length mirror. You can buy those little square ones in the IKEA which you can stick to the door or elsewhere. Loved the video. :)
Dorm shopping would be so cool! I live in WA and mainly international and rural students stay in the residential colleges so I don't think I will ever live in one
Just a few suggestions, what about a bean bag or comfy chair? (I'm not sure what your college provides!) You could also get a white board for your door so that people can write on it and leave you messages, I know a lot of people have that! And also you might want some containers to put food in so that you don't get gross bugs in your dorm!
I really hope my roommate in college is as well prepared as you are! I wouldn't even think to get half the things in this video but they are such essentials! Really helpful video Katy, thanks! :) You look quite lovely as well x
GIRL HEY I first gotta say how cool it is that I have been watching your videos for over a year now and we are the same age so basically every prom/high school/college video you have made relate PERFECTLY to my life! Forever a supporter of your videos, and I wish you the absolute best in college! :) P.S. You'll be SUCH a rockin roomie with your great sense of room style/how you bought your roomie dorm essentials to go with yours!
I bought the Temperpedic mattress topper too! It's the best thing I've purchased for college. It will really help for those thin uncomfortable mattresses the school gives.
Love this video and how excited you are! One thing I definitely appreciated while away at college was lots of pictures of family and friends back home in random places around your dorm and some sort of room scenter, as most dorms don't allow candles!
katy you and I are exactly the same age and I love seeing you make the same transition that I am from school to college (uni for me). I'd love to see you document your life in these kinda videos cos it seems like you are a lot more control over your life than I do and its something i could learn from aha
Katy! Ill be a senior at Towson this fall.enjoy your college years, I promise they go by sooooooool fast.Take every opportunity you can and start with your grades on a high note cause your GPA in college can go up or down very fast.Try not to get caught up in the oarty atmosphere it wont be beneficial in the long run.also try internships each summer because youll know what you like and dont like you really meet your best friends in college.I hope you have an amazing time!
I feel like a mini hand vacuum is nice for cleaning up crumbs, as well as a lamp that you can clip on to the side of your bed, if you want to read at night or something. Btw, I love your videos!
A dry erase wall calendar would be helpful along with dry erase markers. Also putting colored sand into clear mason jars and sticking make up brushes, etc. in is easy and cute!!!! Hope I helped
I got a bed caddy from Bed Bath and Beyond because I'm lofting my bed too and it has a bunch of pockets so you can put your phone, glasses, etc. in there when you go to sleep!
omg you're gonna have so much fun in college! I'm gonna be a sophomore this year and last year was definitely one of the most memorable of my life :) On a side note, I started watching your videos a couple months ago and you're kind of my new favorite content creator
My first semester of college my dorm provided detergent which seemed nice but then ruined some of my stuff so I would say your own detergent and also a collapsible drying rack (because I don't like to dry pants and hand washed clothes).
How exciting! I just finished my first year of college and lived in the dorms. My freshman year of college was SOO fun, and I hope you have an amazing year as well! Goodluck!
your clueless reference ;) and idk but your videos are so fun to watch, its like i never get bored or tired of them and i get so excited when i see you posted a new video idk am i weird maybe i have an obsession to you ok bye
The Brita filter and sleeping mask will be a life saver living in a dorm. Remember a tool set for lofting the bed, I forgot mine and had to ask around for tools
We're going to college together. We got this. Glad I get to take you and your videos with me. i've admired you in high school, and it doesn't have to end now as we begin this scary awesome new stage of life! GET IT GIRL WOOO
you should try celebrity pink pants from macy's i know you dont like jeans but they are so comfortable and they come in so many color and designs ! they feel like leggings too
Katy, you're killing me with how cute everything is. I would invest (/not because it really doesn't cost that much) in plasticware that you can just throw away because I know that a lot of the time I didn't feel like washing dishes last year. And stock up on that medicine before you get sick because that stuff is WAY too expensive at the stores they have on campus and when you're dying you won't feel like walking to student health or off campus.
I just became a sophomore aaand if you want some advice, lofting you bed sounds awesome at the beginning, but then, as time goes by.. you'll hate it! climbing to your bed EVERY single time is awful specially when you are super tired or when you have to make your bed. maybe just lift it a little bit so you can fit stuff under it but dont lift it too high!! also being in a co-ed floor is AWESOME you'll love it! Loved your video!! you room is gonna look gorgeous!
also outlook calendar will save your life! specially if you have an app where you can see it on your phone!! (the iphone calendar is fine but the outlook one can be shared with your friends and you can color code it on your phone!!)
im also going to college this year, but its in my town so i stay in my house, id love to have a dorm and all that, schools in the us look so fun. What are you going to college for?
I'm starting college too this fall. I've already packed some of my stuff, but there are some other things I need to get. I'm trying not to get too much because as soon as back to school season is over, all of the college stuff will go on sale.
I'm starting college in September too I'm mega excited . our apartments in Ireland are co Ed but we have our own rooms in a 3 bedroom apartment Already started buying things for the room .
Will you please do videos on how/what your packing, makeup, clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. loved this vide! I'm also going to be a freshman in the fall, i leave the 30th of aug and this gave me such great ideas!
Katy sounds like the best roommate ever
Ikr?! She so thoughtful of her roommate.
I could see Katy and Michelle as roommates!
Why doesn't katy have 1 million yet? she's such an amazing youtuber
you're going to have so much fun :)
awweeee I LOVE YOU
I'm currently binge watching so many dorm hauls and tours and getting so so excited for college in the fall :)
she spilled all of the starbucks drink at the beginning :')
I replayed it just to look 😂
+Kristal Roxx I just did that😂
Congratulations on starting college soon, girl! Have fun in NC and keep us posted on how everything goes! I literally just graduated from college in May, so I'm so jealous you get to start this journey.
I'm on vacation, and using my 3G to watch this on my phone. That's how much I adore you Katy. ;D
AWWW!!!
SO cool that you thought of your roommate and bought her some items too! Very thoughtful.. I never hear of people doing that very much!
You're roommate is so lucky to have such a kind, considerate person like you to be rooming with!! I can't wait to also feel like I'm apart of your college experience as well! xx
I took a break from watching greys anatomy to watch this. That's dedication.
✋Sameee
I was totally just watching Grey's Anatomy...
LOVEEE grey's anatomy
I seen the series 4 times...so great. I stopped watching American horror story for this
lol me to serious dedication
Dorm hauls give me the feels. I love watching them but they also stress me out because I haven't picked up one thing for college (except my laptop) and I move in in two weeks.
finally, a youtuber who isn't going to LA after graduation…
College Dorm Room Tour?? Only if you feel comfortable doing so! :D
Definitely!!
From 4 years experience I recommend:
shower shoes and Caddy
Bed lifts
Your own personal medicine cabinet (cold stuff, bandaids etc)
Microwave
Microwavable snacks
Disposable utensils
Under-bed storage
Fan/personal heater
Headphones for use in the library
I'm thinking about filming a video on must haves for college. I'll be sure to let you know if I end up filming it.
xoxo

Cant wait for a college dorm tour! You shouldnt forget a little box or something for your earrings and jewerly when taking them off before bed, just in your nightstand
Definitely take paper towels and a sewing kit! They were life-savers for my first year of college!
Oh my goodness! So excited to see this video! Reminds me of my freshman year moving in! (I'm a senior now still on campus!) You are going to LOVE the new dorms!!

the chalk garland is so cute because it reminds me of the chalkboard you used to have in your old room! bringing your room with you to college!
You seem so legitimately happy. Like your voice, it has got some weird peace over it lately ...

I'm, myself, going to something like a college it's in tenth-grade and different from colleges in the US, but this video defiantly made me realize that I have to get those hangers and the shoe-storage-thingy as well! haha
I dearly love your videos and the meaning and message you want to get out. It's so blessing. xxxx and the biggest wishes - Sarah from Denmark!

your enthusiasm and excitement is contagious katy!! loved the haul:)
ah american college seems so fun! like so much more fun that aussie universities
Dorm shopping would be so cool! I live in WA and mainly international and rural students stay in the residential colleges so I don't think I will ever live in one

Your dorm room is going to be sooo pretty!! I love the white theme :) and super cute stuff too!!!
You're so nice to bring your roommate gifts as well omg.
The Brita filter and sleeping mask will be a life saver living in a dorm. Remember a tool set for lofting the bed, I forgot mine and had to ask around for tools
I've been watching you since you started UA-cam and now we're both going off to college the same year!! It's so crazy!
you always have the best music in your videos. I've probably gotten so many songs from you
I'm watching this as I get ready for my first day of highschool. Love ya Katy
Two things I think you should get are a pop up hamper and a drying rack for clothes you don't want to put in the dryer
that was such an amazing video totally loving the white idea
love it :)
You're so cute getting excited for college! And I wish I'll have a roommate like you in the future, so thoughtful!

I am so excited for college because I feel like it would be so fun to move in and decorate and pack and buy stuff
I'm so excited, I feel like your dorm is gonna look amazing! Can't wait to see it :)
We're going to college together. We got this. Glad I get to take you and your videos with me. i've admired you in high school, and it doesn't have to end now as we begin this scary awesome new stage of life! GET IT GIRL WOOO
I move out for college in two weeks, this video made me even more excited :-)
at 0:22 a bunch of liquid poured out of the straw😂😂
+heyits ash literally about to comment about that! hahaha
you should try celebrity pink pants from macy's i know you dont like jeans but they are so comfortable and they come in so many color and designs ! they feel like leggings too
I have that teal mason jar tumblr with the striped straw, too!! I bought it a few weeks ago. :) it's so wonderful!! I use it alllll the time.
I love that we're the same age so we can go through the college experience together!
When you move in, I'd love a dorm tour!! I am applying to college soon (which I am so so nervous about) and I am obsessed with looking at dorms.
Katy, you're killing me with how cute everything is. I would invest (/not because it really doesn't cost that much) in plasticware that you can just throw away because I know that a lot of the time I didn't feel like washing dishes last year. And stock up on that medicine before you get sick because that stuff is WAY too expensive at the stores they have on campus and when you're dying you won't feel like walking to student health or off campus.
It's funny because I just got home from college dorm shopping when I saw this. Yay for college! :)
Ahh Katy super excited for you!! I'm starting college this fall too but won't be going out of town so I'm sharing this excitement with you!! WOOO 🎉🎉
your literally so adorable i hope you have a great time at school!
I'm going to college next year so this is definitely a helpful video for me :)
