Trendy Tuesday: 5 must-haves for your dorm
College students wait all summer to leave their parents’ house — so they can start shopping and packing for their dorm rooms. Here are five things you won’t want to forget to pack.
1. Cleaning power
While we would like to think you live mess-free lives, things do tend to pile up, so you’ll need cleaning supplies. The Monster 600XL, a 3-in-1 hand & stick vacuum is perfect for any dorm or off-campus lifestyle. This portable compact vacuum takes up minimal room and comes with seven attachments, making it easy to clean any mess.
2. (Extra) Storage space
Wouldn’t it be nice if college dorm rooms had cabinets and shelves for all of our new shiny stuff? Unfortunately that’s not the case, so be sure to stock up on some extra room. You can find big drawers for extra clothes or a small set just for makeup and pens.
3. The perfect jacket
Available in four different colors, this unisex light jacket is the answer to all of your “What kind of jacket do I need today?” questions. Paired with jeans for a day of classes or thrown on as you head to the gym, The Anorak has vents and a removable hood to keep you covered in any kind of weather. The Anorak also features a front and back pocket for your phone or wallet.
4. Brand new bedding
Moving means getting new sheets! There will be hundreds of sizes and patterns to pick from, so have some fun when you shop. Your comforter tells visitors to your room a little more about your personality — so make a great first impression!
5. Home entertainment hook-up
The first week of school doesn’t involve much schoolwork, so you need to be prepared for having your friends over at your place. Blumoo lets you run all of your home entertainment devices right from your smartphone. Looking up the TV guide for the afternoon or “turning down for what” for the night, Blumoo will let you do it all.
