Miami Minimalists: Jamie's Essentials

I definitely have a lot of unnecessary “stuff”.  Now that I live in an apartment it’s hard to imagine how it all ever fit into a dorm room. However, I think challenging myself to think about how things would be different if I led a minimalist lifestyle is a great thing. My life would definitely be less cluttered and more organized. And when it comes down to it, there is only a short list of things I would truly miss.  Here is my list:

water bottle

  1. My Miami water bottle. I don’t go anywhere without it!
  2. My electric blanket because I am always cold.
  3. Sweatshirts for the same reason mentioned above.
  4. My phone.
  5. My laptop.
  6. Leotards. I have been on Miami’s club gymnastics team for the past five years.
  7. Running shoes.
  8. Headphones to listen to music.
  9. Speakers for listening to music out loud…my apologies to my neighbors.
  10. Pictures of family and friends.
