an organized dorm room = less stress and more time to focus on what’s important. it’s also key that u make it feel welcoming and cozy :)
One of my favorite things is to come to my dorm and turn on my candle warmer. It’s a safe and nonflammable way to have a cozy smelling room and it’s dorm approved!!

Costco is my favorite place to get affordable and comfortable bedding that will last and give you a good nights rest!!
Bed Sheets
You NEED a mattress topper!! I got mine from target and I can’t sleep without it. Unfortunately the beds in dorms are not comfortable so mattress toppers are a lifesaver!!

I have the 15 in Macbook Air and it is so worth it. I use it for everything, especially as an education major having a device that makes my projects easier to do and save is so important. I 100% recommend for college students!!
MacBook Air 13-inch and MacBook Air 15-inch
Target has so many pretty planners and are so useful for the school year. I write all the due dates for my projects, lesson plans, and papers into the planner to keep me organized and informed!!

bath & body ⭐️
effective things that make taking care of yourself easier!!
I am so happy that I got this my first year of college. I still have the same one and I have never had an issue with mold. It’s quick drying and if you want to wash it just put it in the washer and let it air dry. It also fits so many products!!
EUDELE Mesh Shower Caddy Portable for Dorm
This is a need for me!! They dry fast, clean body well, and exfoliate without being too abrasive. Way better than a loofah that can hold bacteria and also very affordable.
Shower Gloves

Electric Kettles: Home & Kitchen
If you are debating on an iron or a streamer, 100% recommend getting a streamer. Is so easy to use, effective, and convenient. So much better than needing a flat surface to iron when you can just hang your clothing item and steam it.
Clothing Steamers in Irons, Steamers & Accessories
I use my microwave pretty often. I 100% recommend!!
