*If your laundry is not free make sure to remember quarters to start your year off!
Hopefully this will get you started and remind you of other things you may need! Remember, when you first move in you will most likely make at LEAST two Walmart/ Target/ or Meijer runs. Hope this helped! Have fun (: Ask me if you have any other questions!
