Dorm rooms are very small, so it is essential to bring what you need, and only what you need.

I. Shower shoes

  • Do you want fungus? Didn’t think so.

II. Computer

  • Or iPad. Very necessary to pass your classes.

III. Air pods

  • You don’t want to be that awkward kid who walks to class in silence.

IV. Throw blanket

  • When your friends come over, give them this so they don’t rub their nastiness on your bedding.

V. Laundry bag

  • Carry a basket in your arms? So everyone can see your dirty panties? Pass.

VI. Humidifier

  • Hey, we all get bloody noses, let’s avoid them. Okay, maybe not all of us.

VII. Extra sheets

  • Sleep on an icky mattress while your normal sheet are in the wash. Yeah right.

VIII. Air fryer

  • Who cares about the freshman 15?

IX. Healthy snacks

  • Me. I care.

X. Water bottle

  • Correction: emotional support water bottle.

XI. Going out fits

  • Wanna rage in sweats? You’re the only one.

XII. Fan

  • I sweat, and so do you. Dorms are tiny. And hot.

XIII. Tennis shoes

  • You will be marching around campus to class in nothing near as comfortable as sneakers.

XIV. Sunglasses

  • The outdoors is bright. We all know this.

XV. Disposable camera 

  • Capture the memories. The good and the bad. You’ll thank yourself when your 60.
