What To Take To Uni - Kitchen

Hiya lovelies,

So today I'm going to talk through everything that I have bought for the kitchen element of my university experience. Usually kitchens can be shared with between 4 to 12 people so it is important that you do not take items such as toasters until you get there and suss out what you have between you. This is of course not counting on the fact you get items as gifts. I happened to get a toastie maker as a present but I am an actual toastie fanatic... Oops. Anyway, read on for the list.

• Mugs- Bring more than you think is necessary in my opinion because you can offer everyone tea when they visit and even if you don't use them to drink from, you can use them as pen pots otherwise.
• Glasses x 2
• Bowls x 2
• Small Plates x 2
• Large Plates x 2
• Cutlery
• Baking Tray- Great for cooking everything from oven chips to flapjack
• Saucepan- Use it to heat beans, super noodles and even boil vegetables
• Sieve- Great help when draining pasta, rice and frozen peas
• Tupperware- to store leftovers in; helping to save time and money and reduce waste
• Food bags- another one for leftovers or even to pack lunch when you have a full day of lectures.
• Cloths- To wash up with or wipe down surfaces
• Washing Up Liquid
• Pan brush- Another help with Washing Up
• Can/Bottle Opener
• Sharp Knife
• Chopping Board
• Wooden Spoon

And that's all folks. If you think of anything massively important I'm missing, Please be sure to leave a comment down below. I hope it has proved helpful to those starting university this year or even just those preparing early.

Here's a bit of inspiration on how to decorate your room :')

 

Hiya lovelies, So as you all most definitely know if you read my posts regularly, I am going to university in around a week's time (Crazy I know!!!) . As I previously mentioned, I am going to write a list of everything that I am bringing and would advise you to bring to University. I have done a lot of research and a lot of browsing lists to get here although it may be different slightly depending on which university you are going to. The list was so long however that I've had to split it into categories. Today is the first and I bring to you the 'bedroom/dorm room' section. I hope it becomes useful.

• Duvet and Pillows
• Bedding- Most of the rooms I went to look round have single beds (I know mine definitely is!), make sure you bring at least 2 sets for when you're washing the other.
• Mattress Protector- As gross as this sounds, you do not know who has slept on that bed previously or their level of cleanliness.... lets leave that there.
• Cushions and Blankets- Although they my be great for when it gets cold in the winter, they also make the place look a lot more homely and will help you to feel more comfortable with where you are living.
• Teddy- You will not be the only one.... trust me
• Towels- Bath and Hand Towels
• Sleeping Bag- If friends come to stay- they'll want somewhere to sleep
• Laundry Bag or Hamper
• Coat Hangers
• Decorative items- this could include photos from home, fairy lights, anything that helps you to feel comfortable
• Alarm Clock- For early lectures
• DVDs
• Books
• Door Stop- Especially in the first few days, it's a great idea to get to know the people you are living with. By leaving the door open it also gives off a friendly vibe.
• Extension Lead- I know that in my room there is an extreme lack of plug sockets

I hope that list was helpful,

Thank you for reading,

Eleanor Rachel
