It’s hard enough for me to think about sending my kids to school for the day let alone think about sending them off to COLLEGE. Where they will LIVE. Without ME. Waahhh! My parents packed me up for my first year of college with an electric typewriter that we honestly bought AT SEARS, I remember being so excited because it had a BACKSPACE/DELETE key. No more dabbing wite-out on my typos! If you are getting ready to deliver your precious baby to college, this post is for you.

Sears has a whole section of their website devoted to helping students get CampusReady with everything, and I mean EVERYTHING a college student will need before they head off to school. Parents and students can shop the site using these easy categories:

* Shop by dorm room-choose from coordinated looks like “Vintage Chic”
* Suite of coordinating dorm room products and design ideas- how to work dorm basics like a mini fridge into the design
* Shopping checklist- These are AWESOME. Everything from cleaning and bathroom supplies to power cords and printer paper. Just find the list you need and check things off as you go.
* List of everything your child will need for their first home away from home- Eating, Sleeping, Playing and of course Studying-it’s all covered!
* Financial tips- Tips for budgeting so your student still has food money left before the term or semester ends!
* Financial planning tips- Managing credit, planning ahead
* Apparel must haves- this links to the Young Men’s and Juniors sections of the Sears.com website. Which is helpful but many college-age guys are already wearing Men’s sizes, so you may have to click around.
* Links to categories of clothing they’ll need for college life- Tees, Jeans, comfy shoes, layers for cool weather, packing for college means taking a lot of clothes!

The CampusReady App on Facebook has more great ways to get your student ready to go. They can create a “Gift Getter” list that family and friends can then purchase for them, design their dorm room in 3-D to see how it will look from all angles, and take a roommate match-up quiz.

Whatever you are doing to get your student ready for college, check out the links I’ve posted to Sears CampusReady. I think it can really help you get everything organized and get your son or daughter ready for back to school!
