COLLEGE LIFE: Move-in day

It's only mid-July, but I just received a Bed Bath & Beyond "Get Campus Ready" circular, full of today's dorm-room necessities like coffee makers, power strips and device-charging units. BB&B offers a practical service where you can order all your items and have them held for pickup at a store near your kid's campus. This was a huge help to my sister, who lives in Minnesota and whose children went to college on opposite coasts (Harvard and Stanford).
