This list is more so curated towards recommended college/dorm items rather than the brands. Please feel free to go with whatever brand you prefer for these products! 🩷
When walking across campus, I much prefer a tote rather than a backpack. Less weight and more comfortable especially on hot summer days!
College Tote
Lately I’ve been using notebooks a lot more than I have binders. A notebook for each subject!
School Notebooks - Mead
You’re going to need a good sturdy umbrella. Yes! It rains in college, lol!
Rain Umbrellas - Luggage & Travel Gear
I currently have the Lululemon brand. However, Amazon is much more affordable. After losing my campus ID many times, I definitely recommend this!
Keychain Wristlet Wallet
We love late night side quests in college! Definitely recommend a portable charger.
Portable Charger
Always have some form of self defense. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

It’ll take you some time to memorize your schedule. Write it down!

You will thank me during finals! Also, it’s a different approach to studying than the typical flashcards. Give it a try!
Whiteboard
College is all about being organized! I love sticky notes for jotting down those quick reminders or tasks.

Dorm/Apartment living. You will absolutely love this for carrying up groceries or other items. Especially when you live on the 5th floor like me!
Ozark Trail Folding Wagons in Ozark Trail(15)
Dorms already have limited space. Why not utilize it as much as possible? Place this at the foot, under your bed, or on the side as a nightstand or just simply for storage.
4 Cube Organizer
Again, utilize space. If your dorm has a private bathroom, I recommend this for your bathroom.

I had a private bathroom in my dorm. I loved this in my shower.
2 Pack Adhesive Shower Caddy Organizer with Hooks
Do I even need to explain? You’re going to need plenty of these, lol!
Command Strips
I loved these for hanging curtains in my dorm. Tip: Blow dry the adhesives on low heat to ensure they are secure!
Command Hooks For Curtain Rods
Obviously this one is a personal preference, but I absolutely loved using my neon light for alternative lighting.
Custom Neon Acrylic Round Wall Sign
Alternative option for neon light if you’d like different lighting in your dorm.
Bedside Lamps
If you love a cold room to sleep at night, I definitely recommend you get a fan.

You’re Twin XL will feel like heaven. My bed is so comfortable!
3 Inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper
My space tends to get cluttered easily and this was amazing for me to have somewhere to put my jewelry once removing it
