Most dorm mattresses are uncomfortable because they have not been changed. My bed was irritating in the first semester. So I got this topper on Amazon, and I still use it. And it's very comfortable. 😊

If you hate making the bed from the root like me, you have to get the suspenders. I honestly only see my mattress cover when it's laundry day. It saves time on bed making .

I am obsessed with extra space, so when I got this bed pocket. I was over the moon. This stores everything like hidden candy stashes, or mini pills in case of an allergic reaction, lip balm for those moments. I really recommend this one❤️

I was sceptical about this one but when I bought I have never been so up to date on my schedule, I have alarms for everything now and I'm always on time. The best part is that the snooze button only goes off once, then the light stays on. So I just h...

I love cute spaces, like those one-room apartments in Korea. But I don't have a one-room apartment, so the next thing was to get a lottery so that my space was in one piece and as neat as a pin. This is also very useful if you are sharing and want to...

When studying I rarely paid attention to my posture, till one day I couldn't get out of bed. So the nurse said I strained my muscles as I sat at my desk. She recommended this back pillow and all the pain is gone and no trauma pain either. So don't be...

Command strips are the best when it comes to placing pictures or art on the wall. Especially in the dorm. I can easily switch the art on the wall because they have velcro which makes it easy to separate from the wall.

It's not urgent but really helpful. I love quick meals when I'm in school and this cooker is the main boss, it has an air fryer included. So it is best for both long and short recipes.

This is very easy to assemble and helps when there is no electricity to use the water dispenser, plus one whole 20-litre container is better than a dozen cases of water.

This helps me keep my snacks and utensils in order. I think it's better than putting shelves because it's mobile and can sit as a decoration. P.S. I keep my snack one close to the bed.
Kitchen Trolley

This bag helps with groceries and acts as extra storage for backup goods. I use plastic when shopping now. So environmentally friendly and you only buy it once.

You also want to consider a tool kit wine opener, cause when you decide to have a little fun you will want it. So I think its better to get this one than a single opener. Unless your not a wine person

I believe having this is way better than a Stanley Cup, yes the size of a Stanley is more lasting but when it comes to oral hygiene, having a completely shut lode is the way to go. Plus when you are in a new environment you really want to fully cove...

I used to have a bag rack but not have enough room for my purses. So I got these hooks and was able to place some bags in my wardrobe. They are really helpful.
