With just over a week until I jet over to Spain, I'm taking time to just relax at home and prepare myself for departure. I just finished working at my usual summer job, but next year I don't plan on returning there. I've been working as a marketing representative at a local casino since I've graduated high school, but I plan on getting an internship next summer (once I figure out what I want to intern for, of course).
Packing for a big trip abroad will be probably be incredibly difficult, unlike packing for a regular semester at Penn. If you're facing that particular challenge for the first time, don't fret! Just bring clothes that you ACTUALLY wear, because you don't have much space for clothes you "might need" in your dorm room (though girls: it never hurts to have a nice dress on hand). And besides, if you find that you need something you left at home, you can always get it sent to you from home or head down to Walnut Street or to the King of Prussia Mall (Bus 124 or 125 from just outside 30th Street Station) for a shopping trip.
If you're from a somewhat warmer climate than Philly (e.g. Florida or Southern California), be sure to pick up winter coats, scarves, hats, gloves, and sweaters. You'll start to need them toward the end of October, at the earliest. Sometimes we'll have warmer falls/early winters in Philly, but you never really know. And if you have sweaters (or any clothes) that require dry cleaning, don't worry, because there is a dry cleaning service just steps from the Quad.
Happy Packing!
