It's finally time to shop for your new dorm. You have your decorations ready to go and bought a new duvet, but you may still be missing essentials. Here are some things that might greatly improve your college experience.
- Scissors
For some reason there is a shortage of scissors in college dorms. You will need them at some point, whether you are opening a package you got in the mail or taking tags off of new clothes. It is easier and probably cheaper to buy scissors before you leave for college and have them in your dorm than waiting to buy them at the school bookstore.
- A Comfortable Desk Chair
While most dorms come fully furnished, the chairs in some dorms were made to accommodate a wide range of body types and won't probably be comfortable for you. Since you will spend a lot of your time doing homework at your desk or just chilling in your chair, it's important to have a chair that will give you good lumbar support. If you're on a budget, Beverly Hills Chairs sells comfortable,discounted ergonomic chairs.
- More than one towel
When you don't have too much extra time to do laundry, you'll be thankful that you brought extra towels. Towels take up a significant amount of space in the washing machine, and when you only have time to wash the essentials. They are also good to have in case you want to lay out in the quad or go swimming.
- An extra long phone charger chord
The power outlets may not be located in the most convenient places, and if you want to check social media on your bed or have your phone handy while doing homework, an extra long charger will help you immensely.
