What did you forget to pack? Tips?

Hi, interns. I know being a Field Station intern has been a different experience for you. What did you forget to pack that, once you knew more about the Field Station, you had to go out and purchase? Post also any tips you have for future interns that will them be successful at the Field Station.

Thanks,
dsg

  1. I forgot my bath robe!! I didnt buy another one but i surely could have used it.! I didnt buy any work boots and only had a few long sleeve shirts but i ended up not needing them any of it! SO i returned the shirts and saved money all together by not buying the boots!! I did have to buy some bug spray which could be helpful depending on which teacher you have and how much you are going to be outside. I brought two hats which were very helpful in the intense heat of the day!!

  2. I forgot essential things such as sunblock and bug repelant. I can not believe i forgot something that simple. I had to run to Walmart on the very first day! You definitely need to be prepared for the outdoors when you are participating in the Fieldstation internship!! I also forgot socks :-( Which was a really wierd thing for me to forget considering how much I wear them.

  3. For this trip i forgot a lot of bring to pack. Espically for the kitchen. I had no idea we were actually moving into an apartment. I didnt bring nothing to live in an apartment with at all. I didnt even bring any toliet tissue. The first thing we did when we got our check was go to three different stores. We hit up the dollar store, walmart, and the goodwill store. We didnt have nothing in our room so we bought food dishes, cookware, toliteries, and what ever else we needed for our room. I was kind of upset because some of the thing that we bought i already had at home i could have brought from home. SO I WAS KIND OF UPSET. bUT WE MADE DUE WITH WHAT WE HAD.

  4. I really didn't fotget to pack anything. Since I stay in Augusta, if I ever forgot something I could just go back and get it at anytime unless we were at SRS or on a field trip. I did forget to bring some snacks on the days I did stay in Aiken at the apartments. That was kinda a bummer because I get the munchies sometimes during the night...LOL!!!
