1. A surprisingly sleek and affordable single-serve coffee maker that can brew regular grounds and K-Cups — so you'll be properly caffeinated during the next four years and beyond. Plus, you need a reason not to spend all your money at the on-campus Starbucks.
2. A three-in-one breakfast station that doesn't take up a ton of space yet can whip up a whole breakfast in mere minutes. You can warm up a croissant in the toaster oven, cook an egg on the griddle, and have a perfectly sized pot of coffee before you have to make it to that annoying 8 a.m. class.
3. An electric hot pot so you can stop wasting all your money at the food hall and whip up some stews, noodles, and sautéd meats and veggies right in your dorm — or your tiny apartment after college.
4. A rapid microwave ramen cooker that'll become your new best friend when you need some fuel for your all-night cram session.
5. A pack of two underbed storage bags — because you're going to need all the storage space you can get in that tiny freshman year dorm.
6. A comfy saucer chair for those days when you know you won't get any actual work done from your bed. You can easily fold it away when it's time for a mid-study nap.
7. An electric kettle with a pattern so chic and cute you won't actually mind leaving it out for everyone to see. It's perfect for having a cute afternoon tea party with your roommate... or for cooking up some late night ramen.
8. A helpful caddy you can place on the side of your bed for some extra storage space. It's so handy you'll definitely end up using it on the couch in your first post-grad apartment.
9. Or! A tiny bed-side shelf that's big enough to fit a laptop so you can write all those unnecessarily long essays from the comfort of your own bed.
10. OR! the iconic and slightly more compact BedShelfie, which is exactly what it sounds like: a shelf for your bed. Say goodbye to losing your phone, headphones, and remote in your tangled sheets!
11. A TikTok-famous microwavable popcorn popper, in case you need something to snack on when you abandon your homework for a late-night Netflix session.
12. A super slim storage cart that you can slide between your bed and desk so you'll have a spot to organize all your random supplies and snacks.
13. A super lightweight stick vacuum — because yes, you do have to clean your dorm every now and then. It has swivel steering so you can easily maneuver around furniture and an extra-large dust cup so you can vacuum the whole room in one go.
14. A set of five desk organizers in a stunning shade of gold to keep your desk looking tidy and Instagram-ready at all times.
15. A set of space-saving folding hangers that will practically double your tiny closet space. They easily unfold when you're ready to hang up your fresh laundry, then fold back down to give you some extra room.
16. An easily hangable T-shirt organizer so you can roll up all of your favorite graphic tees and neatly store them on the back of your closet door. It'll look so much nicer than an overcrowded closet or drawers with half-rolled T-shirts hanging out of them.
17. This folding portable table so you can turn your bed into the ultimate work station. There's even a little cup holder that's perfect for your afternoon coffee break.
18. A super sleek wooden laptop stand that lifts your screen and keyboard to the perfect height and easily disassembles when not in use.
19. A cushioned laptop desk with a special spot for a mouse and your phone so you can hold all the basics right in your lap.
20. A cooling weighted blanket that's so much more breathable and lightweight than the one you were using all winter long.
21. Or a cooling blanket for all my fellow hot sleepers who still like the feeling of curling up under the sheets. It's made with "Arc-Chill" cooling fibers that absorb body heat and transfer moisture from the skin so you won't wake up covered in sweat.
22. A super cute and easily washable desk mat that will bring you one step closer to having the Instagram-worthy dorm you truly deserve.
23. An oscillating tower fan that will increase air flow and is powerful enough to circulate stuffy air across the room. There's also a special nighttime setting that slowly decreases the fan speed while you sleep, which you and your roommate will both appreciate.
24. A charging cube with an impressively long cord so you can have three outlets and three USB ports right next to you at all times.
25. A sleek desk lamp with two USB ports and one outlet so you can stop complaining that there just aren't enough outlets in your dorm. The lamp also has two slots for a phone or tablet, so you can also eliminate some of that clutter all over your side table.
26. A rolling lap table that can slide underneath your bed so you'll have a perfectly sized mini desk for your laptop and phone. Or your coffee and snacks.
27. An adjustable stand so your phone is always visible and at the right angle for any unexpected FaceTime calls.
28. A personalized jewelry stand to become the standout item on your tiny desk. You know that giant knot of tangled bracelets and earrings in your drawer right now? This will eliminate that for good.
29. A nifty shelving unit to add some extra height so you'll actually have space for your laptop, textbooks, and everything else you need to get some work done in your dorm.
30. A rose gold monogrammed pencil holder that will add some organization and personalization to your tornado of a desk.
31. A hanging laundry hamper to get your clothes off the floor and create space for the cute décor you always impulsively buy at Target.
32. A mini cactus humidifier that will add a touch of cuteness to your room while adding some moisture to the air if your dorm is feeling drier than the desert.
33. A bed pillow to keep you sitting up and focused instead of slowly sinking under your blanket and taking an accidental nap.
34. An over-the-door rack with nine hooks that can hold basically any and everything you need, from the belt that ends up in various places every time you take it off to the cross-body bag that always gets lost on your shelf.
35. A microwave pasta maker for the days when you're craving buttered noodles but sadly don't have a stove to cook them on. All you have to do is fill it with pasta, add water, then microwave for about 13 minutes.
36. A storage unit with pull-out drawers that are perfect for neatly organizing socks, underwear, or any other clutter you want to keep concealed.
37. An adorable cherry blossom tabletop lamp to add a whimsical touch to your drab room.
38. And a folding tabletop mirror with some impressively bright lights that will have you saying "Hey guys, welcome back to my channel!" like the glamorous beauty influencer you were meant to be. No judgments if you talk to your invisible audience through your makeup tutorial.
You making the most of your tiny yet charming dorm:
