College Dorm Room Essentials

College days are definitely among the most fun phases of everyone's life. However, a certain level of discipline also needs to be maintained to succeed academically and graduate with flying colors. Since students spend most of their time in college dorm rooms apart from classes, they must inculcate the value of discipline in their dorm rooms themselves.

When students are packing for college, there's much to think about. They also have to ensure they have a comfortable place to sleep and enough furniture to fit their needs.

Worry not for those confused regarding the essentials that need to be part of their college dorm rooms. Listed here are some items necessary for any college dorm room.

What items should be included in a college dorm room?

Every college student is different, so what items are necessities for one person might not be for another. 

A bed: A bed is one of the essentials students need in their dorm room. Investing in a comfortable mattress is also equally important. This is because you want your back to be well-supported after long hours of sitting and studying. 

A computer/laptop: Students cannot get through college without a laptop in today's time, where everything is digital. The laptop is needed to complete all these tasks, from assignments and notes to presentations and internships.

Some furniture: Having a comfortable chair and a study desk is sacrosanct. A college dorm room will remain incomplete without some furniture. Students should consider buying a chair with lumbar support and an adjustable table. 

Depending on the college and the individual student's needs, other things that may be necessary include:

A fridge and microwave: A refrigerator and a microwave can significantly reduce your monthly food bills. They also help avoid junk food that can make students fall ill and even fail exams.

A closet and dresser: Students are bound to bring a lot of clothes with them to college that are suitable for different seasons. Cabinets and dressers will ensure that clothes are stored neatly.

How to get organized in a college dorm room

The stereotype of a messy college dorm room is not necessarily true. Students can make their space functional and comfortable with a little organization and effort. This guide will show how to organize the dorm room, from stocking the fridge with healthy snacks to creating a stylish dresser backdrop.

Start by stocking the fridge with healthy snacks. College students are notoriously busy, so having easy access to nutritious snacks is key. Try packing protein bars, pre-made salad packs, or simple fruit and yogurt combos. If you're ambitious, try whipping up homemade granola or veggie bars! Remember, eating healthy and staying fit is crucial for succeeding in classes and graduating with a high GPA.

Keep your dorm room clean and organized using storage options like cabinets and drawers. Also, have a separate section to store towels and used clothes so that they do not mess with the organization of the room.

Create a stylish dresser backdrop with some creative wall decor. You can buy inexpensive stick-on hooks or brackets to hold up posters or photos or use old bed sheets as makeshift wallpaper (be sure to avoid any stains!) if you have more artistic inclinations.

Tips for creating a comfortable and functional college dorm room

Creating a comfortable and functional college dorm room can be challenging, but a few key tips can help. Here are a few essentials to keep in mind:

●   Frame your space with pops of color and prints to liven up the room.

●   Create a dedicated space for your bed and furniture to reduce clutter.

●   Choose soft, comfortable furnishings that will fit the room's overall style.

●   Install blackout curtains to help create a comfortable sleeping environment.

Conclusion

When you first move into a new dorm room, there are a few essentials that you must have on hand. This checklist includes a pillow, an alarm clock, and some snacks. However, don't forget the other essentials that all students need to feel at home in their dorm: bedding and furniture. Make sure to find what works best for your needs and purchase it before your move-in date so that everything is ready when you arrive.

tbh when mitski said “you’re my best friend/now i’ve no one to tell/how i lost my best friend”

#my freshman year of college my best friend and I were both a wreck #and on opposite sides of the country #during winter break I made the decision to share certain information with their parents bc I was actively concerned for their safety #they were deeply upset about me betraying their trust like that and asked for a break in our friendship #(a few months later (which happened to be early March 2020. lol) they did shrooms and realized they wanted to talk to me again lmao) #(so we talked and cried and now we’re still best friends almost 4 years later) #and my birthday is in january so it fell right in the middle of the period we weren’t talking #and my friends at school actually put together a really lovely party and it remains to this day the best bday party ive had #(most of my bdays have been sad and shitty lol) #but i just remember being drunk in my friends dorm room with my friends all around me #it was the end of the night people were just kinda chatting in little groups or whatever #and i was lying on my friends bed just miserable bc all I could think about was how my best friend was supposed to be there too #bc my parents were going to fly them out for the weekend as a present #and obviously that just got dropped #and id been talking to my friends about it kind of but all I wanted was my actual best friend #I left them a very embarrassing drunk voicemail that THANK GOD they deleted without listening to #but it’s just. the quiet agony of being angry and sad and hurt because your person doesn’t want to be ur person anymore #and still wanting to talk to them about it. still needing them to comfort you and give you their advice and insights #i don’t want to talk to anyone else about it. they’re not you. #sigh. anyway. ive actually lost several close friends for various reasons ranging from reasonable to bullshit #and it always blindsides me how much I want to talk to THEM about it #so thanks mitski for expressing that so artfully #op

My Top 5 Recommendations For A Dorm Altar

(Part 1 of my Back To School Series)

1. Set aside some shelf area. If you want, you can get a small shelf specifically to sit on your desk for your altar.

2. Get some electric candles. They are fairly affordable, will not set off your dorm’s fire alarm, and I highly doubt that they will get you in trouble with your RAs.

3. Get yourself a cute teacup and saucer set. You can find them at pretty much any thrift store, and together they work as a great libation cup and offering dish set that isn’t going to weird out your roommate.

4. My personal favorite way to replace incense is to get one of those reed oil diffusers. They’re pretty cheap online and at discount stores, they will make your room smell good (obviously), and I love to use them to replace incense in the dorm.

5. If you don’t have any deity statues, or don’t feel comfortable displaying them, you can draw your own depiction of whatever gods you currently worship, use a symbol of theirs, or simply print out pictures online.

From one amigo to the next. For college dorms would you pick the really small suite style (bathroom shared by four) dorm with yucky carpet and a kinda ugly sink OR the newly renovated traditional style (bathroom at the end of the hallway) bedroom with a way larger space and nicer closet/ sink? I'm pretty sure that this would be obvious to do the traditional but I need insight from college people

ARE THERE THINGS I AM NOT PICKING UP AND NEED TO HAVE PUT DOWN OVER HERE?!

#signing #heres some old coot advice NEVER LIVE IN DORMS

[grantwilsonenjoyer]

living as a disabled person is So Fun bc i constantly get to wonder if people in my life think i am faking it & secretly think i am a horrible person bc of that

#the answer is Most Likely No (in the group of people i care about/am super close with) #probably yes for like. classmates & stuff bc the General Public is. Not the best toward disabled people! #tourettes is also just a very mocked disability and i have almost never seen it talked about in a serious light aside from Other ppl with t #even If/When i try to explain the more serious side of ts it is almost Always just seen as a joke. So it kinda sucks ! #idk. This may be worse because i live in the south (womp womp) #but it is. Annoying. They believe i have tourettes they just seem to think it doesnt impact me at all (& are uncomfortable if i say it does #like ah yes. i just have the disability without being disabled. #<- when i try to tell people i am terrified of driving and their advice is just “you'll get used to it!” #motherfucker even when im used to it my hands still like to move on their own if i feel even an ounce of stress 😭 #<- literally was fighting for my Life the other day bc my dorm room was like 1 degree off after i got back from a social event #anyways. thats all #tourettes

#negativity cw #mother mention cw #randomly remembering a few weeks before I started my first year of college and went off to the dorms #my mom wanted me to get a haircut #my hair was a little past my shoulders I think? And she wanted me to get it cut chin length #and I didn’t want to #and I don’t really remember the details but we ended up getting into a really bad fight #and my mom threatened me that if I didn’t get this haircut she would not help me with college advice #I.e. would not give any emotional support or suggestions #and strongly implied there might bkto be financial help either (they were paying) #so I went and sat in the car #I was actually crying because of how upset I was #And she actually told me to take a few minutes before I started driving to calm down #And I drove their and got it #And I hated myself for it so much. That I just gave in #A while later she kinda half-assedly apologized but not really #and I do t even remember why she wanted me to get it so badly #I think she thought that short hair would be easier to manage in the dorms? Or maybe I was getting split ends? Idk #Anyway six weeks into the semester I dropped out and came back home (long story) #and then i made their lives hell for the next 5.5 years while living at home and having my college adventures #Until I graduated and moved out #So I guess in the long run I won that one lol?

why is s3 dair so good??? honestly, what is it about them (both as individual characters and relationship-wise) that makes it so... good, for lack of a better word?

it's the Narrative Foils, babe!

no, but really, this plot had EVERYTHING: there's first the setup that they're both at nyu even though they didn't want to be - it's where the ended up after their respective Yale dreams fell through.

then, there's the role reversal of Blair, who's always used to being on top, sure she was caught up in power struggles at Constance but there people still cared who she was, and now, nobody does. she's just another freshman. and Dan, who was used to a certain invisible kind of existence, is noticed on his very first day for being a Writer - and a good one! and he makes friends who actually like him as a person! it's him with the social capital now, and the first thing he spends it on is to help out Blair. (insane. they are insane. they should kiss.)

🪑 aside, this is also the first time in the show ever that Dan is unattached narratively to Serena. I mean, they're friends and on the verge of being family, but they'd been given real romantic closure in s2, so they start off the college arc truly as just friends, which means for the first time in the show, Dan's romantic arc prospects are openended, which in my unexpert opinion, pours a little extra sauce on his loaded interactions with Blair.

also he and Blair's roommate fuck and Blair sees him shirtless in his post woodchuck todd glow up and idk how a girl doesn't have strong feelings about that ya feel me?

AND (I think Nads has touched on this before?) Constance/St. Jude's was pretty...partitioned, I guess you could say, so with the exception of The Essay Contest, I don't think Blair and Dan were put in the position for any competition, but at a fully coed school? And with their similar interests they were bound to end up in classes together, and I swear it is such a CRIME that we didn't get any classroom hijinks with these ding-dongs. competing for top grades and rankings, fighting over a TA position, checking out all the material in the library on a topic to sabotage the other's research, it could have fed us Damien Darko vibes a season and a half earlier and I am BITTER.

I think ultimately it's how the beginning of college presented a twist on their previously perceived social standings (and understandings of each other), and that the sheer potential of starting over in a new place opened up windows of story that didn't/couldn't exist in the high school ecosystem. was it ultimately underexplored and underutilized? absolutely, but at least we have that s3 dair FWB fic on ao3...

#I know every time morgan's queue spits out a new post pre canon dair we say #'they should have fucked' #but like. really. they should have hooked up at nyu #gg meta #asks #insistonyourcupofstars #ty for sending <333 #and s3 had #dan in his himbo era #a distinctive moment in time for which we are all grateful #and idk like...if they had kept that through line #of blair trying to fit in at nyu and using dan and vanessa as her means to get there #and they were all made to really be in each other's company and lives #then 🪑 couldn't have lasted #and danessa probably couldn't have either #like. imagine blair and vanessa drinking on the floor of one of their dorms #vanessa calls chip a shitty boyfriend and a terrible lay #and blair gets offended and shoots back 'you're one to talk. why are you even bothering with humphrey when you don't love him?' #and they just...snark each other into good life advice #okay so I've been rewatching hart of dixie #and lemon and zoe's antagonistic frenemyship is PRECISELY the vibe I had wished for blair and vanessa #plus there's that whole #zoe's best friend falls in love with lemon and they are both so irritated by the other #blair making a list of demands to negotiate her time with dan and assuming vanessa will do the same...yeah... #these tags have really gotten away with me I should just stop now.
