1st year of uni haul

If you weren't aware, I am starting my first year of university this month and as this is the first time I ever would've lived away from home there is a lot that I needed to buy! A few of you said you wanted to see a haul of what I'd bought so I thought I would upload this to help anyone else starting university.

Some of the first things that I got were kitchen supplies. I knew roughly what sort of things I would be needing so I thought I would just make a list for you of what I purchased and where I got these things from.

I am yet to buy all of my stationery and of course I am also bringing a lot of my decorative things from my room at home such as plants and photo frames. Unfortunately I'm not allowed candles as I am living in halls for my first year so I am going to have to get a reed diffuser as I love having some sort of scent in my room. I am also taking my fairy lights with my from home but I am only allowed battery powered fairy lights so you might want to keep this in mind if you are moving into halls. 

I know this is a bit more of a simple haul for me but I thought this might really help some people to know what to bring with them to university so I hope you have enjoyed this. I am also planning on doing some more posts about university over my first year. Also if you can think of anything that I have forgotten to get then please let me know!
