As a college girl on a budget, these products helped me look and feel put together instantly.

In college, it is unlikely that you will have your own private bathroom in a dorm. So, you dont want to carry a huge bag with all of your toiletries. A plastic shower caddy can fit right in there with you and has space for everything you need. Easy t...
Shower Caddy Plastic
This was the absolute best! I lived on the 10th floor of my dorm and even with an elevator, people were struggling to carry their bags. This hamper rolls and just makes your life so much easier!!

Dorm beds are not comfortable, and they are not changed after every person. This topper made me feel like I was in my own bed and not a Twin XL. It was so helpful!

Everything that you can possibly need to reach should go on here. This was so helpful when it came to midnight snacks, or just needing a place to leave my phone. And the height is perfect. Was even a little higher than my lofted bed.
Sywhitta 5-Tier Plastic Rolling Utility Cart
I used these to move out, and it actually saved me space. I was able to pack less bags than I had arrived with ad it saved me so much time when moving out. With the jumbo bags, I was also to fit an entire winter coat.

So easy to use! I hung up several posters with these and they never fell. Plus, even when I ripped them off (not following the instructions), no paint was peeled off!
