You’ll spend less time worrying about packing and more time worrying about finals when you have this packing list!

This packing list is going to make your life so much easier during the most stressful time of the year. You don’t need 5 different sweatshirts, or 6 pairs of leggings, they will take up your entire suitcase. Once you have all of your outfits picked out for special occasions, think about what you spend most of your time lounging around in. Pro tip: if you’re going to events with different people there, repeat outfits to save room in your suitcase! Are you going to any holiday parties? Are you going on any day trips that require warmer clothes? What will you wear for Christmas dinner? Once you think of every specific event, start picking out what you want to wear to each one. The first thing to take into consideration is what “nice” outfits you will need. But trust me, it doesn’t have to be that hard! I break it down by outfit and remind myself that I will spend 90% of my time at home lounging around the house in Christmas pajama pants and a sweatshirt. It’s basically like taking a super long vacation and having to fit everything into one suitcase and a carry-on ?‍♀️. I don’t know about you, but packing for winter break stresses me out.
