In the coming week, I have to pack up my entire life and move out of my dorm, which has been my home for the past year. A year ago, when I began buying my college dorm room "necessities," I looked up online and watched countless YouTube videos about what exactly I needed to buy for college. People tell you to buy so many things and it is always different. I have combined a list of 25 items that you will actually need and that will not just take up space.
1. An iron, not a steamer
Everyone always says bring a steamer. Highly recommend bringing an iron instead due to the fact that steamers can get annoying and messy and only use filtered water which is hard to come by in the dorm.
3. An ottoman
A place to hide away mess and things you don't really have a place for, like, pads and tampons, ladies.
4. Wall decorations
Make that prison cell looking room come to life and look cute.
5. Planner
This will literally save your life.
6. Stapler
May seem obvious but you would be surprised.
7. Small fan
Trust me this is very important.
8. Bed risers
Beds don't always loft, mine did not.
9. Broom and dust pan
Don't forget it, I did.
10. Rug
Hardwood floors are not your friend.
11. Detergent pods
Waste of time and space to buy liquid detergent.
12. Can opener
Might seem random and unimportant but trust me it WILL be needed.
13. Plastic silverware
Washing dishes is a pain, don't do it.
14. Brita water filter
Water at college is gross, filter the nasty out.
15. Disinfectant wipes
Especially needed on move in day. Don't know who did what in their before you.
16. Paper towels
Another thing that is easily forgotten about.
17. Stain remover
Personally recommend getting simple green, will change your life.
18. Ramen noodles or soup cans
Late night munchies are a REAL thing.
19. Bath robe
Walking to the shower in your towel is uncomfortable, don't do it.
20. Shower flip flops
Don't be that person in the shower with no shoes on, it's gross.
21. Nice clothes
There will come a time where you will want something nicer to wear instead of t-shift, legging, and shorts.
22. Plenty of socks and underwear
Laundry piles up quickly and you will probably not always have enough time to deal with it.
23. Advil and allergy medicine
HUGE necessity!
24. Umbrella and rain jacket
Walking to class in the rain with your laptop in your backpack is a disaster waiting to happen, avoid at all costs.
25. Small trashcan
Don't wanna get into fights with your roommate over who is gonna take the trash out? Solution is to bring your own and don't share.
