Packing for the DCP

The time has come to begin packing for the next 4 months of my life! Let me tell you, the struggle is real! For those of you that are going to be flying to the program the hardest part is keeping your bags under 50 pounds! I still have so much room in my bag but I am at 47 pounds.  I will be taking 3 suitcases and 1 backpack. I know it sounds like a lot but one bag is pretty much empty. I would like to be able to bring some stuff home from Walt Disney World.  For my packing list I wrote down everything that I wanted to bring, what I have to bring, and what I was hoping my roommates and I could divide up and bring. This system worked great for me and it has prevented me from forgetting anything on my list.
