SINWEEK 2" Memory Foam Mattress Topper Twin XL
definitely more of a preference item, however this worked WONDERS for my hair and skin and definitely elevated my nights

bathroom
this is a NEED if you are in communal bathrooms!! the last thing you want is to wake up to a stinky bathroom or leave it stinking

shower shoes are a must for communal bathrooms especially! love these ones bc they have holes and are super comfortable
COZYAREA Quick Dry Non-Slip Shower Shoes
miscellaneous/most forgotten!!

A NEED! comes in handy all the time for little scrapes or cuts!

not a huge essential bc typically UHS will check your temperature, but good to have in case!

trust me when I say you NEED a speaker! whether it's for hosting dorm parties, getting ready for game days with your friends, etc. you absolutely need a speaker
