PLEASE, guys I’m telling you do not get a hamper for college, especially if you need to trek a million miles to your laundry room. These laundry backpacks will make your life sooo much easier.
Laundry Backpack
So comfy. It makes the dorm feel more like at home. Game changer if you’re are living on campus!
Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper | Multiple Profiles | Lucid©
People often skip these when shopping for college but this is such a necessity. The bathroom floors in dorms can be so gross and you don’t want to be stepping on all that. These work nice because they are waterproof and they have holes so they don’t ...
Shower Shoes
Super helpful. Most of the dorms in college don’t have a lot of outlets so this will definitely save you some struggle.

Your major will ultimately decide what laptop you choose to go with, however this laptop lasted me my previous 4 years and 1st year of college. It’s also very lightweight!!
MacBook Air 13-inch and MacBook Air 15-inch
This will definitely be needed, especially if you are one of those people that can’t sleep with out a fan. A small desk fan always works great because it takes up little space but also keeps you cool.
Small Desk Fan
Super cute for dorm. You can add pictures and important things. Very cute and helpful
Bulletin Boards & Presentation Supplies
These are so cute for decorating your dorm. I would watch out though, some colleges don’t allow decorative lighting. (psss, hide it in a closed closet, RAs aren’t allowed to open anything that is closed) Anyways… highly recommend these.
Fairy Lights
Makes college feel homey and cute. Super cheap and good add on if you like decorating your room.
12 Pack Artificial Ivy Vines with Clips
So so good for college students. Works best if you want to move on from the typical high school book bags. Fits lap top, water bottle, and other necessities.
