Gathering all the stuff you need before going off for your first year off college can be a little stressful. Sometimes, you aren't sure what you need for your dorm room, or what will fit into the tiny space. Since dorm rooms are so small, you gotta focus on the necessities. 

If you're child is heading off to school in the fall, or if you know someone that is, this may be helpful! Amazon has launched the "Off To College" store. Instead of going to different stores to get food, bedding, clothes,bathroom supplies, and furniture,  you can now get all your college needs in one place. AND you can have it delivered the same day. Score!

Amazon enlisted Ava Phillippe, daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe to create an "Ava's Picks" page of her top products. Ava is a college sophomore, so she's familiar with what's needed for school. I'll be honest, when I went to college all we needed were books, Ramen noodles, and a coffee pot. Now it's a lot more involved.

You can take a look at more info about the shop here.  Shopping made easy! I dig it!
