Organization
My must-haves for dorm or room rental organization.
Don't get me started on the pain of moving a whole dresser every year for school. Switch to organization bins. You can stack them, store them in a closet etc. for clothes or storage!
Storage Boxes, Baskets & Bins at Affordable Prices
Another easy to install and move quickly. Lasts a lifetime and you can hall it to and from your dorm room and showers.
Shower Caddies, Shelves & Baskets
These drawers are perfect for storage and double use to hold up your desk top. Super easy to move and fits in most cars with the seats down.
Desk with Drawers - ALEX Series
My favorite for bathrooms and cupboard organization.
Storage & Organization
Decor
A cozy and comfortable room is so important, especially when you're away from home!
These are just a classic for university students, lets be honest. A fast an easy way to bring some color to your university room. Reminds me of the excessive amount of plants my parents keep at home too!
Artificial Vines
With not being able to change your rental walls, these are such a perfect alternative. You can hang posters, vines, lights, photos, you name it - no noticeable holes left.
Pins & Tacks: Office Products
Amazon can find you the cheapest poster options with wide variety. Perfect for quick purchases. Don't forget blue tack!
Posters
It is a must to have a floor length in your room. It is so handy and you don't need to wait on the bathroom to be open to see if your outfit is good!
Large & Full-Length Mirrors
If you're someone that misses the 2000's vibe, these are for you. These are perfect for decor or if you're looking for a photo wall. Many different uses!
Outdoor & Patio Lights
The candles here are so good! Different scents that match the season - perfect if scents help you relax.
Bath & Body Works
School Supplies
My personal favorites that keep me together.
Too many people have the idea that this is only a high-school necessity. These are so handy for test/exam days as they're usually on paper. Perfect for emergencies and (being honest) it feels great to be the pencil supplier in class.
Pencil Cases and Pouches | Store, Organize Supplies
English majors and anybody that's taking a writing based course. This is a must for keeping track of your papers, tests, and all of your readings.
Staples Large Tab Insertable Dividers - 5 Tabs - Assorted Colours
Even though I predominantly use my tablet for notes, it is still essential to use these for review. Quick notes, organizing notes/reminders - make sure to keep a couple of these around.
Notebooks | Five Star
Did you know you should be drinking 1.5-3 liters of water a day? It can be tricky finding where to refill on campus! Get a liter bottle that doesn't leak to ensure you're getting your bare minimum.
1 Litre Glass Water Bottle
Re-usable and perfect for notes and exams!
BIC Break-Resistant Mechanical Pencils with Erasers ...
If you're not one for flashy colors, these are perfect! They're just as visible and have good variety. They're my favorite for readings!
BIC Brite Liner Grip Pastel Highlighters - 6 Pack
Tech
Chromebooks won't get you through University! Dell is an excellent choice that can handle everything from work, school, and even gaming!
Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop | Dell Canada
These are perfect and even cheaper in the long run than taking paper notes. From a professional notebook note taker, this was a definite upgrade for orgamization in note taking.
