    What should I take to Uni??
    There are so many posts with long lists of things to take to Uni...all the boring essentials...snore snore. Is there anything out there that would be something a bit different? I love music, art and cooking and wondered whether there are any gadgety things out there, or just anything to have a laugh really? My birthday is coming up so I need some present ideas, and since I was at Uni last year, I've already got all the necessary things...I just want to take some things to make life a bit more interesting!! Thanks!

    Take yourself anyway, that is usually seen as a good start!

    Haha no blow up dolls I already have a guitar and iPod docking station...I was wondering if anyone knows of any kitchen gadgets or something like that? Like I have funny fridge magnets that make up sentences, and guitar ice lolly moulds. Just silly things like that
