新生入学应该准备些什么?

大一新生必备

Small Refrigerator and Microwave

小冰箱和微波炉

If your child sleeps through breakfast or needs a snack, he or she can have it right in the dorm room.

如果你的小孩爱睡懒觉或者习惯午休，他/她就可以舒舒服服在寝室享受了。

Power Strip

插线板

Kids arrive with a lot of electronics, from phones to iPods to laptops. No dorm room will have enough outlets to keep up with the demand.

孩子们会带很多电器：从手机到iPods，再到本本。没有哪间寝室能有足够的插座。

Laundry Detergent and Quarters

洗涤剂和硬币

Woodruff says her son brought his laundry home from camp three times this summer. The first time she did it, the second time she taught him how, and the third time he did it on his own. And she'll be sending him off to school well stocked with quarters and detergent.

伍德夫说，暑假里儿子从夏令营带回来三次欢喜衣服。第一次是她洗的，第二次她教儿子怎么洗，第三次就是儿子自己洗的了。在把儿子送到学校前，她准备了大量的洗衣粉和25美分硬币（洗衣房投币用。）

Bedding

床品

When buying bedding, Woodruff says to be sure to buy extra-long sheets because college beds are longer than the average twin -- to accommodate the taller kids. One mom told Woodruff on her blog to get a long mattress pad for the bed because that was one area that she really wanted her son to be comfortable. And of course, you'll need a comforter and a pillow, too.

在选购床品时，伍德夫建议要买加长床单，因为学校寝室的床比普通双人床要长---为了照顾个子高的孩子。一位母亲在伍德夫的博客里告诉她，要想让孩子睡得舒服，一定要准备一床长一点的褥子。当然，不要忘了被子和枕头。

Storage Bins

储物箱

Shower Caddy

沐浴用品

First Aid Kid

急救用品

Stick-On Night Light

小夜灯

This was another big tip from parents on Woodruff's blog. Parents might remember how annoying it was when we were sleeping in a dorm room and a roommate came in late and turned on the light. Stick-on lights are battery-operated and stick on the wall, just like one of those closet lights that many of us have.

这是伍德夫博客上来自很多家长的建议。家长们都知道，当你在寝室睡得好好的，突然有一个晚归的室友打开了灯是多么恼人的事情。可以贴在墙上的小夜灯用电池就能照明。

A Piece of Home:

家里的一件东西

Call it a loving memory of his family or a way to keep him in line. Whether he wants it or not, Woodruff's son is getting a framed picture of his family.

这可称得上是来自家庭的爱的记忆。不管想不想要，伍德夫的儿子还是要带上一幅家人合影去学校。
