Anyways, I know a lot of people freak out about packing. Do I need this? Will they take this away? So, here's my packing list, and comments/descriptions on the stuff I bought product-wise. There will be a video to follow someday soon if I can make the video upload!
- Toothbrush
- I just bought a cheapy 2 pack of $1 toothbrushes from the Family Dollar and I'll bring one with me already in my toothbrush case.
- Square toothbrush case
- I had a hard time finding one, because Walmart didn't have one the first time I looked, but a week or so later they got in square ones. I got dark blue rather than clear because I figured it would be easier to make look clean for inspection.
- Travel size 2-in-1 hair
- I bought 2 bottles of Pert 2-in-1 initially, but I recently chopped all my hair off, so I'll only be bringing one!
- Travel size body wash
- Travel size Caress body wash because it was somewhat clear and not colored.
- Deodorant
- I got a twin pack of Secret Clinical Strength Marathon Fresh deodorant and I love it! They are so strong I could go every other day with deodorant probably (but I wont!) (:
- Brush
- Dollar brush from Family Dollar, all black.
- 2 Conair bunmakers
- Don't need them, I have short hair! Best decision ever!
- Brown hair ties
- Again, best decision ever! However, for other girls, they need to closely match your hair color. (:
- Brown bobbi pins
- I do need these, however. I got a big pack of golden-ish ones from Walmart for like 3 bucks, and i twist back the hair that hangs on the sides of my face back and pin it to the hair in the back that's stacked short to my head in the back.
- 6 white sports bras
- Yanno, I don't know if I'm the only one, but I don't feel like going broke over BMT! Sports bras are expensive! So, I have one black, 2 grey, and one white one that are old that I'll bring and if I need more or my MTI wants us to be uniform and buy new ones, I didn't waste $60 on sports bras!
- 1 regular bra
- Haven't bought it yet, but I'm just going to get a chincey one from Walmart for a couple bucks.
- 6 pair white/plain undies
- I got Gillian OMalley 2 packs of seamless undies from Target for 11.99 each because someone who went through BMT already said they're a dream to fold. (:
- 3 pair clothes
- 2 pair jeans, 3 plain tee shirts.
- Compression shorts
- I got one pair of Under Armor Heat Gear comp shorts online for like $40 bucks, and one $15 pair for Target. If I need more, I'll get them their. Again, no reason to break the bank!
- Shoes
- I have grey New Balances that are minimal, and love them! I have them in pink and white too, and I'm bringing those for back up just in the case that the ones I bring break in the later weeks or something.
- Address book
- I just used a mini-memo book and wrote addresses and phone numbers. Less frilly looking and cheaper.
- Notebook
- Cheap $1 notebook with 70 pages from Family Dollar.
- Pens
- Pack of $1 black plain pens from Family Dollar.
- Manilla folder with birth cert, college transcripts, High School diploma, SS Card, routing info, ID, debit card, BC w/ scrip
- Got everything paperclipped in the folder.
- Prestamped envelopes
- 20 of 'em with stamps already on them.
- Shower shoes
- Black $1 flip-flops from Family Dollar.
- Sunscreen
- Travel sized sports sunscreen.
- Lipbalm
- Blistex! I'd die without it.
- Nail Clippers
- Little ones to keep your nails short and trim strings on your clothes.
- Makeup
- I have a little black makeup thing with mascara and eyeliner in it for graduation.
- Tampons
- I have a gallon bag with tampons and panty liners because I'm so lucky that I'll be on my period the day I get to BMT! ):
Basically, everything on the packing list, and some other add-ons. Don't spend a ton of money, because your MTI may make you re-buy matching stuff anyways! I'm also packing a bag with my laptop and other clothes and stuff for my mom to bring to graduation so I can have it all for tech school. (:
