Congratulations, Commodores! You have finally made it on campus and are hopefully moved into your dorm room by now. I am sure you have spent months purchasing items for your room, or maybe for some of you just a few days. Regardless of how much time you have spent preparing your dorm room, there are probably some items that may have slipped your mind. Here are the top five dorm necessities that you may not have thought of:
5. Area Rug
Since most of the dorms have tile floors, a rug adds warmth and comfort into your new space. Your cold toes will thank you later.
4. Support Pillow
You do not want to become one of those old ladies hunched over after your freshman year. Everyone says you grow up in college, but I do not think you want to age that quickly! So this pillow is a great back support for when you are studying in bed.
3. Study Light
When your roommates are trying to get a good night’s sleep, but you procrastinated and are now cramming for your test the next day you will thank us for this suggestion. This clip-on light attaches right onto your bed frame for convenience.
2. Lap Desk
As you can see from the last two necessities, it is always more comfortable to study in your bed. This lap desk makes this study method more efficient and organized. It also serves as a table for when you are watching Netflix in bed!
1. Medicine Kit
With all the lack of sleep you will be getting from studying, and maybe some other activities, you are bound to get sick at some point during freshman year. It is always a good idea to have standard medicines on hand to make you feel better, so you can get back to that studying of course!
We hope this list may make your freshman year go by smoother. As always, go Commodores!
