Buy or Bye Amazon Dorm Essentials

Here are my honest thoughts about the trendy dorm room items as someone who has lived in a dorm/ type of place for 6 years.

This is just my opinion ofc get whatever you like and what will make you happy!

✰the nice mirrors are everything!! I recently got this one, but before had a cheaper circular one that I feel like is in the dorm section of every store. I never used the cheap one, but use this lighted one everyday!

✰I wouldn't recommend getting printed bedding. Bedding is one of the most expensive things you are going to get so I really recommend getting something nice that you can use again. My biggest regret was getting a twin size though. If I could go back I would get a full and have it be oversized the first year.

✰I LOVE my bed tray for studying, eating, painting my nails. Honestly I spent so much time in bed can’t even lie, so this was fav of mine.

✰the rolling carts are a no for me. I do still have mine, but I never used it to roll around. On top of that, they look super messy and honestly don't store that much for how much space they take up.

✰This one might be the most controversial, but I am not a fan of the ottoman storage cube things. In concept they seem great, but we just never used ours and it ended up taking up so much space. Also I do not think anyone ever sat on ours once.

Starting college can be exciting yet overwhelming, especially when setting up your dorm room. With all the options available, it’s vital to choose items that enhance functionality and comfort. Some must-have items include stylish wall decor and a good study lamp to create an inviting atmosphere. Investing in a quality mirror can transform your space, reflecting light and making your room feel larger. It's a fantastic way to elevate your morning routine. Consider bedding that offers comfort and durability; opting for neutral or classic designs allows you to use them beyond college. Additionally, multifunctional furniture can be a game changer. Look for items such as bed trays for studying or dining in bed, maximizing space and convenience. While some trends like rolling carts may appear helpful, it’s essential to assess their practicality in your daily life—sometimes, they’re not worth the hype. Overall, creating a dorm that reflects your personality while being efficient is key. Focus on smart purchases that serve multiple purposes, and enjoy your college experience with organized, stylish living.

I use my rolling cart for snacks. There isn’t a lot of storage/space in my dorm, so the bottom drawer of my dresser holds bigger food items (ramen, mason jars w granola, my to-go container, toaster, and rice cooker, and my box of hot chocolate) in the cart, i have chips, cookies, granola bars, tea and sugar. 1/2

🍋I saw the drying mat idea online last year and I am so happy I did. That was definitely the best hack I used this year at school. No need to worry about mold or wet floors!! 🍋PSA: U do NOT need ALL of your clothes and shoes. I am guilty of bringing everything I own to school and I had NO room.
