What did you buy for your dorm that was incredibly useful or just great to have the whole time you lived there?

Maybe it was something simple, like a dry-erase wall calendar that keeps/kept you on top of everything from mixers to meetings to major exams.

Or a mini-vacuum cleaner that let you pick up little messes with basically zero effort.

Maybe it was something that seemed impractical at the time but ended up being useful AF, like stacked hangers that let you fit SO many more clothes in your tiny closet.

Or maybe it was something fun, like a cozy butterfly chair that stowed away neatly but was a nice break from your desk chair and your bed.

Or a huge tapestry that made you feel happy and relaxed every time you looked at it.

Or something for your bathroom, whether you trekked to one down the hall or split one between four suite-mates, or had some other situation.

Or something else entirely — we want to know! Tell us about the best or most useful thing you bought for your dorm, and you could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!
