Dorm Essentials
You are NOT going to want to walk all the way to the shared bathroom to do an outfit check or rely on small mirrors to get ready! I didn’t have one originally, and I’m so much happier with it!
Large Mirrors - Big Mirrors
A reliable water bottle is a must! I love having my Stanley for my room because it keeps the water cold and holds lots of it!
If you suffer through anxiety, or just love warm hugs, a weighted blanket is a must! I have one at home, and thought I’d be fine without, but I was very wrong.
Ultra-Soft Weighted Blankets
My snack cart is a lifesaver! Without a pantry or designated space, things get cluttered easily! This cart keeps my snacks organized and out of the way!
YASONIC 3 Tier Metal Rolling Utility Cart
A good laundry bin can make or break your laundry experience! Wheels are a must and makes it so much easier!
Laundry Basket With Wheels
These are a great way to save space! I keep them near my desk for extra storage and keep anything and everything in mine!
Portable Storage Drawers
You WILL get sick, but this is the best chance you have to fight it! All of my friends who don’t have an air filter get sick more often and dorm air is its own pollutant.
Air Purifier For Desk
This keeps all your shoe options visible, while saving the space you desperately need!
Dorm Shoe Rack
This fan is the single greatest purchase you can make, especially if you’re suffering through a non-air conditioned dorm!

Things You May Forget
TIDE PENS!!! I cannot stress this enough, you will get messy and you need one for every bag! My friends all know I will have one and always ask. You will never know when you will side quest and get messy!
Tide To Go Pen Instant Stain Remover
You will need them. You don’t think you will, but 1) buying large bags is cheaper than individual ones 2) packing up food and 3) not all snack bags are resealable
Ziploc Quart Storage Bags with Grip 'n Seal Technology - 48ct
I find not many people have them, and yet, I use them all the time! Great for notes, bookmarks, reminders, scrap paper, etc.
Sticky Notes
I feel like people remember their brushes, but not combs! Helpful for on-the-go, quick touch ups, hair styling, etc.
