It's wild to me some Americans live without electric kettles. Who doesn't want their water to boil in 60 seconds? Making pasta? You just saved yourself 10 minutes waiting for the water to heat. Want a hot water bottle in winter/on your period? Done in a minute with a perfect pouring spout. Want noodles at 2am? Done and without having to burn yourself trying to get the bowl out of the microwave. They're not just good for tea they are useful literally any time you need boiling water.
Haha as a Pennsylvanian, I totally relate Like that one season which isn’t completely allergy season you think you won’t get them again, and then when the next season starts you can’t breathe out of your nose and your eyes are watering and red
Also be prepared to have to change allergy meds! My college campus and my hometown had very different flora, so the meds that worked at home didn't work for me at college and vice versa
College sophomore here and just bought an electric kettle last week, INFINITELY better after heating water in a microwave all last year. Some colleges may not allow them bc there's an exposed heating coil but just don't let them know and stay safe
Lap desks are also just helpful for schools nd work in general. You can have a desk or whatever at home all you want but like... Bed. And if you have medical emergencies where you're stuck in the hospital or at home(happens more often then you'd think) it gets really useful.
i know right? i live in the US but my parents lived in the UK for years and a kettle was a must 💀 i do not understand americans who don't use one it's the same for making rice in anything other than a rice cooker
Can confirm that those chairs do indeed suck. They gave us one of the half normal half rocking chairs. The rocking chair part was in the back, so whenever you sat on it you felt like it was about to fall over. They were so uncomfortable that I ended up using one of my pillows for back support. Also, electric kettle. They were a life savor. The dorms were always freezing. Having a hot chocolate ready quick was heaven. And as a night owl it was nice not waking up my roommates with the loud microwave.
As someone who lives in Pennsylvania (and not in the city but in a valley where allergies really attack) I can approve the fact that the pollen number here is higher than Empire State building
I can vouch for the electric kettle, ESPECIALLY if you don't have a kitchen in dorm. Makes it super easy to make instant noodles at 3am while you're writing that paper you had several months to do in a single night
The college I went to like a week ago, just a tour but yeah, it had like a room at the middle of the hall, completely open, there was couches, a TV, a fridge and a kettle!! It was really nice lmao
I may be American, but it pains me to see people make their tea by getting hot water, putting a tea bag in it, then putting it in the microwave. Probably because I live in Europe.
Oh heck yah i’ve lived in Pennsylvania my whole life and I don’t have allergies but apparently the air has so much pollen that I sneeze all the time bring the stuff
I’ve personally made a google doc for myself with a personalized packing list with links to specific items that I want + tips, websites and some goals that I have for myself. I recommend doing that imo because you can customize it as much as you want and don’t have to worry about finding a link again or the owner of the doc deleting the doc once they don’t need it or something.
Kettles are not uncommon at all, but electric kettles are. They're just not needed as we drink real coffee from a coffee maker rather than hot tea and instant coffee.
1. IM SO EARLY 2. my college campus is LITTERED with cats, and as a cat enthusiast whilst also being allergic, I cannot tell you how many times ive taken allergy medicine from my friend who does not have any allergies and she just keeps then around just in case!!😌
The tea kettle is so true!!! My roommate brought one and it changed my life! I bought one for myself. Disagree on the laptop desk though. I found working in bed super uncomfortable. I recommend just getting those cushions for chairs instead. They have ones made with memory foam that are super comfy.
no literally i dont even have allergies but my sinuses are flooded half the time here because everything is awful and there is no good in this barren land
This is a nice list, but I do plan on going to college by where I am now, so I wouldn’t really need the allergy meds. I am getting the kettle and lap desk, though.
It doesn't matter, there's going to be days where your allergies are going to flare up. You don't have to take them everyday. I don't. It's better safe than sorry to bring a packet with you.
As someone who is growing up in Kansas I don’t really think it would matter Mother Nature is the most random person on earth here. For example, for the last week the weather was down in the 40s but this weeks it’s supposed to be in the 80s.
I live in Missouri and my sinuses are already messed up because if you didn't know Missouri has weather that could be 70° one day and the next day could be below freezing
I'm going to be staying in my state for college so I'm used to the Louisiana allergens, but lemme tell you, if you go to school in a southeastern state or Louisiana, definitely bring allergy medicine, it's very humid here with a lot of plants you won't find anywhere else and it's a bad way to find out you're allergic to cypress
Oh jeez, I live in NorCal surrounded by agricultural land. Person who lives here: “Do you have allergies?” Person who just moved here: “Me? No, not at all.” Person who lives: “Don’t worry. You will.” 😂
It doesn't really matter how you heat up water. Energy is energy. As long as you add enough energy to the water one way or another, it will boil. Sure, the microwave might be slower, but given some time, it will do the job
I grew up in PA, have been on allergy meds since i was like 9. Going to college in CT and i brought them with me because idc if it’s “better” here or whatever, i would rather chop my own foot off then have a stuffy nose at night
I when from living out side the Atlanta premier to living coastal Georgia in South Georgia for a year and I was like where are my allergies that year of college that I was used to.

“WELCOME TO THE WAR OF 1812” HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THESE IM DYING
I laughed so hard at this because I'm from Pennsylvania and I absolutely loved that
I can't believe that kettles are still rare in America, almost everyone in the UK has one and it would be weird if someone didn't lol
I love watching these videos even though I’m still a freshman in high school
Haha same
Haha as a Pennsylvanian, I totally relate
Like that one season which isn’t completely allergy season you think you won’t get them again, and then when the next season starts you can’t breathe out of your nose and your eyes are watering and red
same bro im PA too
“Welcome to the war of 1812 on your nostrils,”
I fuckin lost it 😂😂
im going to college next year and im really sooo grateful for your channel not only are your videos funny but also very helpful tysm!!!
I’m from the uk and we only use electric kettles, some of us (including me) don’t even have a hot pocket machine
A microwave…?
@@kitty667 nah hot pocket machine
Also be prepared to have to change allergy meds! My college campus and my hometown had very different flora, so the meds that worked at home didn't work for me at college and vice versa
microwaving water goes BOOM

I don’t know if you have done this but a waited blanket are so nice they help you sleep. And when your studying it helps a lot

Laptop stands for your desk: baby I’m not even here. I’m a hallucination.

I'm a Brit and I NEED my tea at the perfect temperature
I still cant get my head around the fact that americans dont use kettles to make tea or coffee
i know right? i live in the US but my parents lived in the UK for years and a kettle was a must 💀 i do not understand americans who don't use one
it's the same for making rice in anything other than a rice cooker
Me who’s in middle school and has a bed desk
Me too and now I suddenly want one it seems so nice:0

What kinda psychopath doesn't use a kettle-
I can vouch for the electric kettle, ESPECIALLY if you don't have a kitchen in dorm. Makes it super easy to make instant noodles at 3am while you're writing that paper you had several months to do in a single night
Id add Rubbermaid food containers and a large cup with a lid. After you eat take a salad or pizza back to your room along with a fountain drink.
The college I went to like a week ago, just a tour but yeah, it had like a room at the middle of the hall, completely open, there was couches, a TV, a fridge and a kettle!! It was really nice lmao
Bro even with that desk thing my posture still be looking like a question mark 💀
living in pennsylvania you’re absolutely right it’s like a cannonball to the nose
I may be American, but it pains me to see people make their tea by getting hot water, putting a tea bag in it, then putting it in the microwave. Probably because I live in Europe.
That is literally the worst way of making tea I've ever heard of! Why don't they at least put the tea bag in once the water is hot?!
Microwaves are for for not water
That why a kettle is an essential and not special in a European home
Especially the tea country UK
wtf is this i live in america and this is atrocious
As an ohioan, yea you need allergy medications in the mid west
Oh heck yah i’ve lived in Pennsylvania my whole life and I don’t have allergies but apparently the air has so much pollen that I sneeze all the time bring the stuff
Another thing for allergy medicine, if you go to a lot of outside events and are bad/lazy with sunscreen, it helps with the itchiness of the sunsburn
Dude, people dont have kettles in the US? Its literally the only thing everyone has in my university
I am making a google doc with everything for my college expierence JUST BECAUSE of these videos from you

As a Pennsylvanian- I can confirm. OH MY GOSH the pollen can get so bad here and the season transitions can make you feel so miserable...
I'm in PA and every change of season is like war on my sinuses
Me being a freshman: Hey mom save this to my Pinterest board
I still can’t believe kettles are uncommon in the US
wait are they!
Kettles are not uncommon at all, but electric kettles are. They're just not needed as we drink real coffee from a coffee maker rather than hot tea and instant coffee.
Bro I still get REALLY bad allergies at a place I’ve lived for like 10 years-
Haha I live in Pennsylvania and it’s super fun…

Him: an electric tea kettle
Me in British: boiling water in the microwave is illegal anyway so yeah GET A KETTLE
Illegal?
@@some_name9306 I mean that it’s socially unacceptable
Me in alevels college :👁👄👁
...welcome to america where an electric kettle is a novel idea lmfao
The table he showed on the screen is the exact same one i have and its pretty ok
I grew up in Washington state, and every time I visit my allergies are fine, but in PA I sneeze so much, like 5-7 in a row
The tea kettle is so true!!! My roommate brought one and it changed my life! I bought one for myself. Disagree on the laptop desk though. I found working in bed super uncomfortable.

You need to make a list of all of your college hacks and post them somewhere🙌🏻👍🏼
When you live in Pennsylvania-
Do peaple actully not bring kettles when they move in as a Britt I’m apauled
I live in a extremely dry state yet my allergies are still horrible. Ig I'm not moving to a humid climate cause I can't imagine it getting worse
I am early! Also hot water on a towel is amazing!
Please Pennsylvania was so accurate
no literally i dont even have allergies but my sinuses are flooded half the time here because everything is awful and there is no good in this barren land
That last one will have every assignment late don’t do homework while comfortable you will sleep
This is a nice list, but I do plan on going to college by where I am now, so I wouldn’t really need the allergy meds. I am getting the kettle and lap desk, though.

@@fanime1 I don’t have allergies.
@@liblib620 It's still better to be safe than sorry
i’m currently a high school senior and i’m binging these for a bit of preparation for next year yo these sound so helpful
At this point, you’re basically gonna be bringing twenty bags full of items on these lists.
Can you make this a playlist?
As someone who lives in Pennsylvania I can 100% agree with the pollen it’s is indeed horrible
The aggression for that kettle goddamn
Yes bring lots of Benadryl so you can visit the hat man.
I wanted the lap desk so I looked on Amazon and literally the first result was an exact match for the one that was used and I'm like omg perfect
I love your channel, is so useful!
You are so smart and I appreciate you so much
As someone who is growing up in Kansas I don’t really think it would matter Mother Nature is the most random person on earth here. For example, for the last week the weather was down in the 40s but this weeks it’s supposed to be in the 80s.
The table for the beds I would probably just put on the floor because I like to work from above
no because I officially love this guy
I live in Missouri and my sinuses are already messed up because if you didn't know Missouri has weather that could be 70° one day and the next day could be below freezing
Totally didn’t that desk years ago
(*ITS AMAZING THOUGH*)
I live in Texas and when Springtime hits our driveway is covered in pollen
I'm going to be staying in my state for college so I'm used to the Louisiana allergens, but lemme tell you, if you go to school in a southeastern state or Louisiana, definitely bring allergy medicine, it's very humid here with a lot of plants you won't find anywhere else and it's a bad way to find out you're allergic to cypress
ayyy im from PA! Philly, to be exact
That kettle was *fabulous* when I got my wisdom teeth out. I spent 4 days with a hot water bottle pressed against my face and it was heavenly.
I lived two years in Pennsylvania it is the war of 1812 especially when you go from Pennsylvania straight to Texas
sorry but do americans not have electric kettles? everybody has one here it's basically a given
OH MY GOD THAT LAP DESK IS EXACTLY THE ONE I HAVE OMGGGG
As someone with allergies I’ve had nights where I wake up sneezing uncontrollably and there’s also been nights we’re I can’t breathe
So true about the allergies 🤧 I didn't expect it honestly
Oh jeez, I live in NorCal surrounded by agricultural land.
Person who lives here: “Do you have allergies?”
Person who just moved here: “Me? No, not at all.”
Person who lives: “Don’t worry. You will.” 😂
It doesn't really matter how you heat up water. Energy is energy. As long as you add enough energy to the water one way or another, it will boil. Sure, the microwave might be slower, but given some time, it will do the job
Honestly I never got the appeal of working in your bed. I need a clean, clear space to focus. Bed has blankets and pillows and it’s just so confusing.
I use my handme down coffee maker to get hot water lol
Believe me I know, I’ve had too use so much allergy medicine that I’ve built up a tolerance 💀💀💀
Who tf microvas water 💀🤚
I'm definitely gonna note the allergy one because based on experience, allergies are very annoying.
I grew up in PA, have been on allergy meds since i was like 9. Going to college in CT and i brought them with me because idc if it’s “better” here or whatever, i would rather chop my own foot off then have a stuffy nose at night
I live in PA I have allergies from April to September
A Pennsylvanian I can confirm that we shed our noses every spring and have our pollen imported from Trojan horses
Help
bro i need one of those lap desks NOW im in high school and i do most of my assignments on my bed
The first thing I have it works and ty for saying my state second thing 🤣
You make my day hahaha
The pollen is terrible right here, as a person who lives in Pennsylvania, yes the pollen is almost worst here
I when from living out side the Atlanta premier to living coastal Georgia in South Georgia for a year and I was like where are my allergies that year of college that I was used to.
can you turn this into a playlist
Brits! Don't panic uni dorms in the UK come with kettles, mine has 2!
i live in Pennsylvania and I an confirm the pollen here is just atrocious
I have that same exact bed desk, and it’s pretty good, though, the cup holder doesn’t fit any of my bottles or cups lol
POV you live in Pennsylvania like me 😭
As someone who lives in Pennsylvania and as fall is kicking in, I highly recommend brining allergy medicine
As someone who lives in PA, even near Penn State, agreed :')
@@carriecake_ yes definitely, and bring ear plugs to sleep at night before a test, frat boys can be loud
We have like seven old kettles on my house and my mom just lets people have them
