1. A pack of four pretty melamine cereal bowls that prove cereal for dinner can look super classy.
2. A bright electric kettle perfect for whipping up a cup of coffee or tea (or soup??) during those late-night study sessions.
3. A Himalayan salt lamp to counteract that sterile dorm overhead lighting with a nice warm glow.
4. A simple hairpin leg laptop desk to add a pop of color to any problem set.
5. A set of two collapsible sequined storage cubes, because you're going to have to clean up your own shit now (and these will make even your clutter look glam).
6. A bedside storage caddy so you can keep your most valued confidantes (your phone, your snacks...) close at hand.
7. A wicker laundry basket with a removable canvas liner, because laundry is inevitable, but chaos is containable.
8. An industrial-style caged table lamp that's a major upgrade from the typical dorm-room desk light.
9. A microfiber comforter and shams set in a beautiful print, because (pro tip!) prints hide the food stains better.
10. A shower caddy so you can tote your toiletries to and from the shower (thus ensuring none of your dorm-mates sneakily use any of your shampoo).
11. A vintage-inspired area rug to add a little polish (and a lot of color) to your dorm.
12. A cozy throw, because everyone needs a security blanket sometimes (and if it's got pompoms, so much the better).
13. A single-serving coffeemaker you can brew directly into your travel mug when you're late for class.
14. A one-stop cookbook tailor-made for college students, because your needs are valid and your hunger is real!
15. A handy little sandwich grill for anyone who understands that melted cheese is an absolutely essential study tool.
16. A set of three adorable (and very convincing) faux succulents, because you're just learning to take care of yourself — it's too soon to take responsibility for actually-living plants!
17. A framed chalkboard that's a cute upgrade from the standard dorm-room dry erase.
18. A metallic pouf to provide all-important extra seating for parties. (Study parties, obviously!)
19. A vintage-style mini fan, because nothing blows more than an overheated dorm room.
