Bed risers are so important to get extra storage space under the bed! And since there aren't many outlets in a dorm, having the USBs on the bed risers is so helpful!

Living in the dorms you're going to have to lug your laundry every time you need to do it. Don't make it hard on yourself by wearing it as a backpack or having to slide it along the floors!! Wheeling it is SO MUCH EASIER.

There isn't much room in a dorm, so this cart really helped me hold a lot of stuff! I kept my makeup and skincare, books, and snacks on this cart!!

If you are in a dorm without air conditioning, a box fan is my biggest life hack. Open a window and put this fan in it and the air coming into your room will be SO MUCH cooler!
