Departure to America/things you need to prepare for college life in America for international student

As an international student, I feel a significant amount of pressure.

The tension that I am feeling right now cannot be numerically measure.

I packed two huge carriers with clothes, shoes, and other stuffs and one backpack that has my laptop, Ipad, important stuffs.

Yo, did your college required anything after I got admitted?

I had to get my health record in Korea so because my college requires immunization record from students. It sent me an email of which immunizations that I need(there was like 20...)
I had to pay some money to get my I-20.

Hey, what is most important?
According to the instruction that was given by international coordinator, I was required to bring passport, visa, letter of admission, a copy of financial document, and I-20.


- Until I applied for college, I did not know what was I-20, which it is an important document for international students who will be attending college/university in America.

- Tip! That visa.. making an interview appointment + interviewing day are very tiring..
In Turkey, visa comes out maximum 7 days after interview (be careful that the interviewers will be taking your passport so that they can put visa on it.)

So, what do I need to buy in America?
America uses electronic devices that are either 120, 110 voltage, so buying those is definitely required. A new telephone, which I wish I could buy some good ones(such as G3 lol).

Am, what does my college provide?
My college provides most of the necessary stuffs but not all. I still need to buy bed sheets, blankets, pillow, bedspread or comforter. I also need to buy some personal items such as hair dryer, wax, alarm clock, shampoo, and soap.

Thankfully, my college provides an international orientation that helps me to create my bank account!!

Btw, I forgot to make an airplane mileage card.. I suggest making one of those quickly.

3 Hours until to my departure to America

Weekly Devotion: 1 King3: 6~12

Solomon's Prayer Then Solomon said, "You have shown great loving kindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You have chosen, a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted. So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?" It was pleasing in the sight of the LORD that Solomon had asked this things. God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor h
