college advice series: part one! how to pack your life away

[juicyforlife004]

"my bed is squishy as fuuuck" HAHAHA

[jerichasmith]

i see a dftba shirt :) are you a nerdfighter?!

[Iluvu098]

I know you probably don't remember, but what color is on your lips?

[makeuphairclothing]

I would definitely bring a purse AND a clutch, in case you go somewhere where you don't want to hold a huge bag.

[XxXilovemacXxX]

what are saltines..

[soccerserra]

@XxXilovemacXxX Satines are crackers that make your stomach feel better. They are pretty plain tasting, with salt on the top. Very good for when you are sick or have a bad stomach ache!

[badkitten123]

why do you curse all the time?

[thebebeleinchen]

I love how so say shit in every sentence lol

[pickledcans]

hey nice vid, just wondering what about like books and notepads, folders etc should we bring them or should we just by them from the essentials store when we get there, im juat thinking if it would be too much too bring when I pack :)

thanks for this awesome vid :) and your pretty cute :)

[LifeHathImmortality]

i just saw the DFTBA shirt. you're my new favorite person. (:

[AwesomlyMe]

alkjdsahfdalsjkhf I love that song.

[icallitambrosia]

@mmbestfriends

I definitely don't try and talk like a bro/baby voice. I'm offended.

[NeonSkittlesX]

I'm going away to boarding school for my sophmore year of HS and this helped me so much!!! Thanks :) x

[AlyTheBrave]

@IHateyouthatMuch Bitch, thats not okay. Rachel rocks. You're just jealous. You know what else? She has so many minions that are probably just about to send you some hate. Do you have minions? NO. RACHEL FOREVER. <3

[Dalibooo]

@IHateyouthatMuch Abort yourself -__________-

[justpeachyx3]

[TheScarlettCharlotte]

[WickedWitchElphaba]

You are a lifesaver. Truly.

[SkateAndCheerGirl]

[lovextaxi]

I wish there were more of these!

[howunoriginal2]

sooooooooooo HELPFUL.

[Schooled57]

Love this so much! but where do you do your laundry?

[Lydibrown]

"Print out some pictures of fucking James McAvoy and other shit"



[lilleah93]

lmao I love this! Thank you soo much

[miamiyeah]

how should u pack if u have to travel to school by plane?

[XxRaNDoMbitCh135xX]

@miamiyeah you dont

[yawzahman]

Essays dude wats the average lengths we talkin 2000 word or even more?

[oscar5mj23]

How many bathrooms are there. Kus I would hate to live wit a roommate who doesn't know to clean up his shit!disgusting!

[imagetyou271]

i like how you say dont pack your life away but the title says how to pack your life away, haha

[indiefilmmaker2011]

I love how many times the word fuck was used

[viggyball]

Your really hot

[mcgiggity0123]

Definitely not extension cords. They are not allowed in dorms, but you can get the surge protectors with long cords. I'm a resident assistant, I know these things. :)

[MNBTM]

dftba!!!

[SunnySideUp726]

Love the dftba shirt in the background! I really want to get one of those and hope it serves as a conversation starter. And great video. :)

[EnrichedProtein]

@beatlefann1 I'm not Rachel or anything but yes she didd.

[rchiariello]

I graduated last year and still watched this video. I need to get a life.

[bwlover93]

do we NEED a printer? cause there's like multiple printers in the computer lab. or is it just better having it in your dorm?

[BringOutTheFire]

@bwlover93 im obviously not rachel but i thought having my own printer was always way easier than walking to the computer lab but its not like absolutely necessary

[supersmileyhannah]

i want you as my room mate :')

[enemiesoftheheir]

1. your hair looks soooo pretty (as always). 2. this video series is pretty much a life saver, even though I'm going to be a junior in high school next year. will definitely need advice like this when I go to college.

[sincerelyantonia]

So much truth! Haha, great video!

[fightsorflies]

"you wanna keep your shit hidden." oh my fuck im lauging so hard. can this girl be my room mate?

[fightsorflies]

"my bed is squishy as fuck." lol i cant stop laughing

[musicaljessa]

@dannellesguess

live in a dorm its a great experience

[EmsWasHere]

you are soooooooooooooo pretty

[daniellesguess]

I have the opportunity to stay at home for college or go live in the dorm. I already have a car, so transportation isn't really an issue because the school is close to home. Do you recommend living at home or in a dorm?

[CinderellaMakeup11]

holy shit this has saved me so much. thank you!

[Spagoochy]

what if i cant remember the last time i wore any of my shirts because i suffer from amnesia.. does that mean i have to go to college topless all the time?

[daniellethelovebug]

omg you are funny as shit. you are actually my hero, i am packing right now for my first year at college and am kinda freaking out, but this is SO HELPFUL! i just added like 10 things to my "need to buy" list. i am gonna be living in a triple, and sometimes people say that one person might be left out... how can this be avoided?? i'm shy at first, but super friendly/outgoing once i feel comfortable. any advice on how to be more social right at first?

[Heartsoxox]

i have like 3 roommates in one huge room so more than one microwave, printer, and fridge would be good right??

[michellemalavong]

OH MY DAMN!!! You're too damn hilariously correct!!!! SO DAMN ACCURATE!! Listen to her people!!!

[pcelovetaylorswift13]

How to deal with a psycho roommate (if you know anyone who had one) or like if you start to get sick of them?

How to deal with homesickness?

[cmr12261]

What's it like making friends in college?

[ayyolauren]

alternative to water bottles: get the smaller brita water filter pitcher and a reuseable or something. it takes up less space and probably ultimately cheaper haha

[Tipperleadoo]

my fucking bed got bed bugs the first week I was there. So I had to get a mattress slip or whatever.

[Beckles9292]

for the school supplies its also a good idea if your school is far away from home to wait until you get to school and then go to a store close to school to get them so you dont hafta worry about packing all of it

[jennmarie101]

love this omg thankkk youuu

[supasta3]

this is very helpful and put my mind at ease since im going to college this fall.

[thealannabarbosa]

This is great, sucks if you're In a triple

[samjimenez09]

LOVE THIS. <3 don't really have anyone to tell me all of this, so thank you <3

[abbygallee97]

i have that lamp and mirror :P

[katroxthemic]

A tip about the water - buy a brita filter and leave it out, then get one or a couple reusable waterbottles and keep refilling them and keep them in the fridge. you will save a looot of money.

[bunniesattackedme]

im going to be in college in less than month im so excited!!!!

also i have a question, can you tell me about the parties? are they like the movies or what? i really wanna know.

[NanaNarcotic]

really pretty makeup

[livedangerouslyy]

do you recommend bringing a tv? gaming consoles? a dvd player?

[bunniesattackedme]

@livedangerouslyy whoops sorry i accidentally voted down on your question when i meant to hit reply. but i know im going to be bringing my x box and a small dvd player because iits just nice sometimes when you wanna have a couple buddies over in your room and you guys can chill and watch a movie or play some games.

[oliviadesalvo]

poop this may be a stupid question, but can you light incense?

[KAYoLEE]

I"m taking notes and I'm going into my second year of college. I bought so much shit with me my first year.

[sandybunzz]

talk about roomates!!

[blueroses311]

I'm so excited for this series! I am going into my Senior Year so I still have a year left.. but i'll definitely be looking back at these when i'm about to leave!

[anythingeverything7]

How much time do you get to do homework? Hang out with friends? Go out and do stuff? How do you deal with... lets say an "ornery" roommate?

[viarockgirl]

Ive been wanting this! yayyyy! thanks!

[maggieforprez]

haha is it weird i watch the whole thing and i'm going to be a sophomore in high school?

[anythingeverything7]

@maggieforprez Same here! But I fuckin cant WAIT until college!

[Beethepoet]

thank you thank you thank you for posting this video!

[savanna21]

Thank you so much, Rachel! This really helped me a lot.

[liekexoh]

FEBREEZE. FOR REAL. saved my life freshman year. my roommate loved spraying her boyfriend's gross smelling perfume when she missed him and as soon as she left to go to the bathroom. BAM. febreeze.

[l3r0ii]

Thank you so much! I'm supposed to go shopping tomorrow for all of this shit.

[StarstruckFerSure]

Really helpful. :)

[elord08]

You are definitely going to want command hooks.... BRING COMMAND HOOKS!! and NYQUIL!! you will definitely need that and Dayquil.

[xxpinkzebra]

I've heard some dorms don't even allow a microwave is that true?

[sportsluva156]

rachel i love your videos, they are entertaining and really helpful and youre hilarious :] your vlogs seriously brighten my day

[wooowbrad]

dftba.

[CatherineLozano5]

I know this doesn't relate to this video,

but i love the feather in your hair...

[wtfgaykid]

Was it awkward making friends at first when you got there? And did you bring your own tv?

[Hananah2]

You're hilarious, you love Lush, you're a Nerdfighter, AND you're doing a realistic college video.

Why did I just find out about you today?

[tripleerin]

i'm just going to be a freshmen in high school, but i'm watching this anyways. haha.

[beatlesfanx82]

I love the "SO PACK SOME SALTINES."

what about a little fan, should we bring one of those incase it's hot? I heard dorms dont have much air conditioning

[icallitambrosia]

@beatlesfanx82

mine did, but I mean.. if you find out yours doesn't then I would buy one. I would just call before hand and ask if they do or ask someone you know that has gone there. 

[chemistgirl12]

Was it hard for you to find the extra long flat sheets? Or anyone for that matter? Because we sell them aha. I don't exactly feel like advertising our website, so if you ask I'll send you the link.

[fuckyea94]

how do you meet boys in college?

[ThisIsZeee]

It's like playing Tetris.

[XoDisregardedox9]

you're amazing.

[privysaur]

my bed is squishy as fuck

[MADiSONx201]

where did you put all your stuff once you were in your dorm? like what did you put under your bed, on your desk, hanging in your closet, in your drawers...etc

[hannahDiGiTAL]

@MADiSONx201 She uploaded a dorm tour a while back that should help you out.

[pinkberry2221]

haha my bed is squishy as fuck

[madcapzz]

*how not home. Damn auto correct

[madcapzz]

So, im guessing you figure out who your roommate is before hand? And home many roommates do you have is it 1 or 2?

[MeMyselfAndSummers]

I love you (:

[asdfjklidgaf]

is the atmosphere in college similar or different from the high school atmosphere?

[conversefreak29]

I have a few good years until college, but this was still totally interesting!

[steephanielynnnn]

v Shit that sounded bad. I was like laughing when you said bring extra underwear, like I trust you guys.

Not being a cynical asshole!!! lol

[icallitambrosia]

@steephanielynnnn

omg totally read that wrong and was ready to fight omg ok hahaha

[steephanielynnnn]

@icallitambrosia lol I'm sorry about that....great video though!!!

[steephanielynnnn]

lmfao. like i trust you...

[mellxbellx3]

did you have a job while you were in college? did you find that your money kinda got sucked away with buying random shit while you were there?

[kaitybleu]

I wish I had a video like this last year! I promised myself to pack lighter this year, and this video awesomely sums everything up! Such great ideas :)

[DontBelieveinBeauty]

when you first said saltines , i was like "but i like ritz" :l

[theperksofbeingpaige]

Can you hang pictures, mirrors, etc. with a nail/screw? Or do you just use those sticky hook bitches... you know what I'm talking about?

[icallitambrosia]

@theperksofbeingpaige

command hooks fucking I forgot to mention them! those are a life saver. use those to hang EVERYTHING. even get the ones to hang posters and pictures.

those work amazing and come off fucking clean as day what ok

[alliecatYO]

fwopjfopaw, thank you for this. I'm about to start getting all of my shit ready for September and this really helps!

[spottyladybugx]

im not even at college yet, but i can imgaine this will come in handy!!

[weirdofrompluto]

SO TRUE ABOUT THE SALTINES!

[icallitambrosia]

@weirdofrompluto

[bbykirstyxxx]

[m4riay0]
