The usual university packing advice includes things like battery chargers and paperwork. This is relatively unimportant, as you will find yourself able to cope without whatever the charger would have charged, and without being able to prove that you're either alive or literate, and possibly even both, with a little practice. More important are a number of things that should never be forgotten, or will require an emergency parental visit.
A stunningly beautiful cocktail dress. Preferably a few of these, but of course a really wonderful LBD is essential. Similarly, a spectacular evening dress or two will be used more than you could ever expect (partly because inventing excuses to wear them becomes a hobby), and there are major bonus points for corsetry.
Anything with geek credentials. Bascially, if you bought it on ThinkGeek, it will triple in value in Cambridge. If you, like me, own molecular jewellery, the day you move is a perfect day to wear it, and for the very first time have multiple people identify the molecule strung around your neck.
The junk that lines your walls at home. And, for that matter, the floor, the cupboards, the bed and the windowsills. You will fill boxes with this stuff, never have any practical purpose for it, and spend hours arranging it all neatly on your shelves. But it will be worth it.
Any film with Johnny Depp or Hugh Grant in it. I would be the last to admit that I watch this trash. However, despite a computer filled with high-brow art flicks and meaningful classics, it's always the rubbishy rom-coms that get watched.
Sad as it is to admit, I'm such a girl at heart.
