Merely Freshman

Aug 03

Hello, internet!

This is your friendly blogger Chloe, merely a freshman (aren’t I clever?) at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Well, actually, I don’t leave for campus for another 13 days, but it’s close enough. Right now, my main focus is packing. That, and making sure I can get everything I need for my dorm.

Okay, first tip: if your school sends you those packets with bedding packages in them, shop around before you decide to buy from them. They may look cheap at first, but after shopping around a little, you may find that other places are actually cheaper. The biggest hurdle is finding places that will sell twin XL fitted sheets (because for flat sheets and comforters, it doesn’t matter if they’re XL or not). I found mine at Walmart’s dorm store online, and I got a bed-in-a-bag for $45, but don’t hold me to that price.

Ooh, ouch. Tip #2: order it as soon as possible. Just found out my bedding is sold out and not at a store within 50 miles of my college… Oh, boy. Well, Walmart’s still got some pretty well priced bedding sets if you hurry.

That’s all for now! Let me know if you have any questions I can answer or any posts I can write about!
