1. A memory foam mattress topper reviewers swear gave them the best sleep of their lives. Waking up for your 8 a.m. class will be *nothing* when you've recharged your batteries in this kind of cooling comfort all night (as opposed to tossing and turning on that dorm-issued mattress... yikes).
2. A pack of Clorox disinfecting wipes because, well, gross things happen, even if you run a tight dorm ship. Spilled snacks and coffee, weird hair product residue left by your roommate — it's unavoidable. Clean up messes in a single swipe with these hardworking, pleasantly scented wipes — your mom will approve.
3. A faux plant in a sleek white ceramic vase, because who needs the calming benefits of greenery than you, a Busy AF Student?
4. An appealing planning pad so all of your most important dates and deadlines can be on a single piece of paper, instead of scattered on scraps of paper and random emails. The undated calendar's open design makes it easier to adapt to your needs and keep everything straight.
5. A hanging organizer because have you *seen* how small dorm closets are?! Restore order amongst your many sweaters and joggers with these sturdy, space-saving shelves.
6. A clothes hamper with a removable liner so you don't have to lug an awkward plastic basket down the stairs. Maybe you'll *actually* do your laundry now.
7. A reversible quilted microfiber comforter that will help you turn that not-ideal dorm bed into a cozy oasis. Plus, you can wash it easily because there isn't an annoying cover to struggle with (*hint hint* clean your duvet regularly pls).
8. A 16-piece plastic dishware set because ceramic plates and glass cups *do not* do well in dorm kitchens. These look cute, and also won't shatter when your suite mate drops one on the floor. They're also microwave-safe and, most importantly, a marked improvement from eating cookies directly off of your desk.
9. A towel wrap with a secure hook-and-loop closure so that you can use one hand to hold your shower caddy, one to unlock your room, and *none* to hold your towel in place because you're afraid of accidentally flashing everyone on your floor. ~Yay~ for shared dorm bathrooms.
10. An upholstered dish chair to collapse into after a long day. It's comfy, and its metal frame makes it easy to fold up and stow away when you're not using it.
11. A three-outlet, two-USB surge protector outlet wall tap adapter because dorm rooms *never* have enough plugs. With this lil' powerhouse, all of your devices can be powered up and your space can get simplified.
12. A small air purifier with a HEPA filter so allergens, odors, bacteria, and dust don't drive you out of your own living space. It has an ultra-quiet mode for bedtime so you can wake up feeling healthy and well-rested, aka not wheezing from all the dust.
13. A two-tier slide out basket set to organize all of your bathroom supplies. Store it under the sink, on your desk, or on your closet floor (no, really). The possibilities are endless.
14. A set of mesh organizers so your *one* desk drawer doesn't become a black hole. You'll get more done when you're not stuck searching for a pencil.
15. A space-saving standing desk because sitting is *so* 2019. Its compact profile and neutral color will fit perfectly in any dorm room, and standing while you work might help your back and shoulder pain.
16. A set of wheeled plastic storage boxes that will be a game changer for under-bed storage. It's easy to see what you need inside it, and its snapping latches ensure that your items are secure.
17. An ultra-useful command hook to help you make your dorm your own — until you move out, that is. use this to keep your towel, coat, or backpack off of the floor without an unsightly plastic wall ornament — and then peel it off at the end of the year without taking a giant chunk out of your wall.
18. A stackable open front bin because there is nothing worse than storage that leaves you unable to see exactly what you've been storing. With a solid wood construction that looks great in any room, the organization possibilities are endless.
19. A bed rest pillow covered in cozy sherpa fabric, because when you have limited choices for where to sit — the bed or the desk or... the floor? — this cushion will ensure that you're always comfortable.
20. A magnetic dry erase board for taking advantage of all the space above your desk. Hot tip: hang it on the wall with some Command strips for strong yet damage-free attachment.
21. A three-tier wheeled utility cart because when you're working with tighter spaces, furniture needs to adjust to fit your needs. This has locking wheels and is crafted from rust-resistant steel, so it's not going anywhere, literally *or* figuratively.
22. A cube organizer that's versatile AF and offers an affordable organization solution with a minimal footprint. Bonus: You can customize it with some adorable bins if you want!
23. A unique reusable desk calendar so you can know the date from anywhere in your room. Plus, how fun are these flip tabs?!
24. A hanging shoe organizer because the back of your closet door is sitting empty. With 15 pockets, this piece is perfect for adding extra storage to smaller spaces.
