Dorm Bedding Essentials
Dorm beds are all very long in length so you'll need Twin XL size sheets to cover the bed.
White sheets are honestly the best for dorm life. Most college girls only have a handful of white clothes (if that) as opposed to colors, and find it hard to wash an itsy bitsy load when they are on a very, very small budget.
Having white sheets, however, makes the cost of washing white clothes more justifiable...you'll finally have a full load!
Plus, with white sheets, you can mix and match more with different duvets/comforters.
I'm so obsessed with this green iceberg duvet from Dormco. Like, this is the warmest duvet ever and it makes sleeping so much better!
Make sure you go with a duvet that's equally as warm because the dorms get cold at night.
Essential: Like I said, it can get really cold in the dorms...and if you have a crazy roommate who wants the AC to run all day and all night, it can get reallllly cold!
So to save yourself the trouble, bring a throw blanket to wrap up with! It will be a huge lifesaver.
Dorm beds provide excellent storage space underneath but seeing your boxes and bins stuffed underneath just looks super tacky.
So, hide them away with this excellent bed skirt.
Because you need a good night's rest...
Don't just go for super plain pillow cases. Express yourself by adding cute pillow case designs to your dorm bedding.
Walmart has a ton of pretty pillow case designs to choose from to create the look you want.
Lifesaver: The next dorm room essential is this full body pillow! Having a full body pillow is a major lifesaver.
When you're not feeling well (i.e. a stomach ache) or you're feeling homesick and alone, this full body pillow is a huge source of comfort and extremely soothing.
Dorm bed mattresses are known for being super hard. As such, adding a mattress pad to your dorm bed is a major dorm must-have.
It'll help you sleep way better and prevent you from waking up sore.
Another dorm essential is this area rug.
Unfortunately, it can get insanely cold in the dorms (especially at night) and as a result, floors turns to frigid ice!
Protect your feet and prevent yourself from catching a cold by adding area rug beside your dorm bed.

Dorm Bathroom Essentials
Every single thing you need for your dorm room bathroom
Another important dorm room essential is a shower curtain.
I'm super obsessed with this one because of how clever and cute it is. I literally have a "get naked" shower curtain for my bathroom and I always get a ton of compliments when friends come over. 
The next dorm room bathroom essential that you cannot forget is a shower liner.
This heavy duty water proof shower liner will keep the water in but stay matted to the bathroom tub so its never touching your skin while you shower.
Dorm Must Have: A shower caddy is definite dorm must have if you're going to be living in a dorm with multiple women.
Almost every college girl living in the dorms have one!
Dorm bathrooms are often very small and doesn't allow for much storage space. So, you can pack your belonging in here and carry them with you to and from the bathroom.
Plus, it sucks to say, but some girls outright steal body wash and lotions. So having a shower caddy is a good way to protect your bathroom belongings.
You can pack your shower caddy away in your closet when you're not using it.
Because I just lovvveee Dove! It feels so freakin' soft and smells so good.
Another great dorm essential are these shower sponges.
It's so great to have a pack on hand so that way when your shower sponge unexpectedly unravels, you have a next one on hand to use.
Because TRESemme is one of the best shampoo brands on the market and those bottles are so big that they'll last a long time before you have to buy another shampoo bottle.
In college, this was my go-to conditioner. It always made my hair super soft and smelling so good!
I don't why but its so easy to lose hair ties!! (At least for me)
Don't find yourself in a pickle in the morning before class asking you dorm mates if they have an extra hair tie.
Make sure you stock up!
Another dorm room essential is towels. I recommend these towels from Walmart. They're soft and are really good quality because they don't shed or get stringy very easily.
If you're like me and need tissue that is thick and soft then I recommend Cottonelle for your dorm.
CottoneIle is hands down one of my favorite brands.
You'll definitely want this on hand for those "dorm cleaning" days and for those unexpected toilet vomit moments.
Because Dove is the besssst! Get you some dove hand soap wash for your dorm room sink.
Another dorm room essential you should definitely have on hand is a pack of toothbrushes!
Easily swap out your toothbrush when the bristles get too soft and save yourself a trip to the store if you drop your brush in a sink shared with multiple dorm mates toothbrushes.
Talking about sharing? If you'll be sharing the bathroom sink with a roommate, then make sure you purchase a tooth brush cover.
That way if you're sharing tooth brush holders, your tooth brush bristles is never touching hers and doesn't get contaminated by elements in the air or sink.
Because Colgate is the one of the best for keeping your teeth clean and minty, of course.
Another dorm bathroom essential that is easily forgotten is floss. Make sure you have a pack of these on hand.
Another bathroom item that is equally important to have on hand is mouth wash for than extra boost of freshness in the morning.
In college, face wash is life. Every college girl uses one as part of their morning routine.
I personally lovvvve this foaming cleanser because it leaves your skin feel pure and clean without feeling dry.
You'll need at least one trash bin for your bathroom so don't forget to pack this!
The next thing you'll need for your dorm room is a good bathroom rug.
I highly recommend this bathroom rug from Bed Bath & Beyond because iit'sts nice and thick and will soak up the water really good without getting damp underneath. It also doesn't shed like other cheap mats do.
OMG, this is a dorm room necessity, especially if you be sharing a bathroom with one or more girls.
With multiple girls to one bathroom, the shower drain very quickly and easily gets chalked up with hair and it is absolutely annoying (and vomit-inducing) to try to remove it.
Save yourself and the other ladies the headache by getting a Hair stopper. You'll remove the hair in no time and move on with your day.
Tampons/Pads
These are my personal favorites and I'm sure you have yours so I'm just listing these here so you don't forget to bulk up and pack some for move-in day.
This one too...make sure you have plenty of deodorant on hand!
If you've always gotten by with stealing some of your mom's perfume or if you're running low on perfume, its time to get your own for your dorm.
The Ariana Grande Eau de Parfum Spray has been selling like crazy for how good it smells (and for its cute aesthetic look) so I highly recommend getting one for yourself.
The next dorm bathroom essential to have is body lotion. I lovvvvee Nivea Body lotion because it's one of the best of the best to heal dry skin.
Are you a huge germaphobe who is super icked out by the thought of touching the shower floor that multiple girls have used or will use with you.
These bathroom shower slippers will ensure your feet never touches the floor!
Unfortunately, many dorm bathrooms do not come with drawer space to pack makeup and face and mouth hygiene supplies.
As such, if you'll be brining a bunch of makeup to the dorms, I recommend you get a makeup organizer.
You can keep it on your desk or pack under the dorm sick where it will be safe and sound and not strewn about.

You can keep it on your desk or pack under the dorm sick where it will be safe and sound and not strewn about.
Because apparently there is scientific proof that the squatty potty makes pooping so much easier and when you're living on your own for the first time and have the freedom to eat as much as you want, this will become a major lifesaver.
Dorm Kitchen Essentials
This is the dinnerware set that I have and I highly recommend it for your dorm room. They are super light to hold, big enough to eat and drink out of, but small enough to pack away.
These plastic cups are sturdy but light, and super easy to wash.
A must-have dorm kitchen essential is mixing bowls. They are often so easily forgotten but so needed when cooking, so make sure you pack some for your dorm!!
Another must-have dorm kitchen essential are measuring cups, especially if you will be relying on a bunch of recipes to make meals
Must Have for the Kitchen: Wooden spoons are the best spoons to buy because they won't scratch your pots.
For the days you're feeling for pancakes or egg omelets for breakfast.
If you enjoy baking, then this is a must have dorm kitchen essential. These makes it so easy to scoop the batter up.
Another dorm kitchen supply that you'll want to have on hand is a strainer. It'll come in super handy when you're cleaning vegetables or straining pasta.
If you're like me and prefer to have breakfast smoothies in the morning, then make sure you get this blender for your dorm.
You'll be able to whip up your green and fruit smoothies in no time.
Another dorm kitchen supply worth having on hand is this shredder. I whip mine out anytime I'm making meat loaf, making curries, or baking.
This full cutlery will get you ready for any meal and last you a lifetime!
It can be such a pain digging through the drawer to find the right cutlery so make it easier on yourself by getting this silverware divider.
It fits in any standard drawer.
Must have: Don't underestimate the tongs! Not only are tongs helpful for serving salad, but you can use them to turn over fried chicken or fish without the risk of burning your hand.
For those fun baking days...lol
For the days you need to peel a potato...lol
Okay, so I haven't actually tried this can opener (yet) but if I was in need of one, this is the one I'd buy next!!
All you do is place this can opener on top of the can, press the red button on top and watch the device open the can all by itself.
#NoHands #HandsFreeCanOpener
I have this salad spinner and I can't recommend it enough. This salad spinner is such a life saver.
Instead of manually draining water out of your lettuce bowl, just place lettuce inside this bowl, press down on the button, and watch the water drain out of the salad.
This pot set is perfect for the dorm. Every single thing you need to cook your meals are included in this set.
Another dorm room essential that you will need is a microwave and this microwave is sooo cute!
You should also have a microwave cover so you prevent food going all over the microwave.
For the days you're craving avocado toast and peanut butter and jelly.
This soap is one of the best for getting our grease and cleaning the dishes
Another set you'll need for your dorm kitchen is baking pans. It includes every single thing you need to bake the food you want.
For the days you and your dorm mates just want pizza for dinner
For the days when you feel like making late-night cookies...
Because this is also a must...
As well as this...
Ziploc bags are another dorm kitchen item you should have on hand.
On the days when you'll be spending the whole day in the library, you can fill your ziploc bag with snacks, a sandwich, or extra supplies.
Are you a coffee lover? If so, save yourself a Starbucks bill and get your own Keurig coffee maker. It'll taste just as good.
Want another way to save while living in the dorms? Buy a Brita!
Instead of buying water bottles every week, you can fill this jug up with tap water whenever you want and only need to change the filter a few times a year.
This set of Tupperware is one of the best for dorm living. It includes all the bowls you need to pack your food, pack leftover, and pack your lunch.
If you'll be doing a bunch of cooking, getting a spoon holder will change your life.
While you cook, you'll no longer have to search in frenzy for a place to put down your spoon or fork or worry about dirtying the counter tops.
Your spoon holder will always be next to the stove and waiting for your cooking utensils.
A strong wooden board for all of the veggies and fruits you're going to cut.
Having scissors on hand in the dorm is always good to have because you'll never know when you will need it.
Kitchen towels are another dorm essential that you ought to have on hand.
Kitchen towels can serve as a pot holder, a place mat for wet dishes, for drying dishes manually, and for decoration.
Last but not least, you'll want a trash can for your dorm kitchen.
Dorm Desk Essentials
You should have a pencil holder to hold all your pens and pencils. This one from Target -- gorgeous!!
A gold lamp just screams "super chic".
The next dorm room desk essential is this desk organizer. The desk organizer will help you to keep all of your note pads and other stationary supplies together.
As a college student, we are on our butts alllll day studying and can get quite sore and develop bad posture. As such, I highly recommend that you get this seat cushion. It will change your life.
I'm so guilty of this but whenever I don't have tissues, I end up overusing paper towels and toilet paper. Don't be like me. Make sure you stalk up on tissues.
Another dorm room essential that is a must is a mini trash bin for your desk. You'll be surprised how fast how much trash you'll develop studying for or doing homework for class, and it's annoying to have to get up every minute to throw it in the big trash bin.
So keep this trash bin under your desk so you can work uninterrupted.
Since the pandemic has not yet been declared officially over, it'll be good to have some extra hand sanitizers on hand.
Note: Make sure your desk is packed with all the essentials so that you're ready for the long study nights. Check out these study desk essentials here.
Dorm Closet Essentials
If your hangers are old, bent out of shape, or broken, this is a good time to stalk up on hangers.
If you have a lot of shoes, then a shoe organizer will be a lifesaver!! Dorm closets are typically very small so this organizer will give you the space you need to add all of your shoes.
The same goes for clothes. If you're a bringing a ton of clothes to school, then I highly recommend getting this hanging fabric organizer. You'll be able to add a ton more pants and shirts to your closet using this!
Dorm Furniture Essentials
Having a long mirror is essential for getting ready in the morning. Mornings before class can often being a rushy one and when you're getting ready in a rush, the mirror can save you from making a publicly embarrassing wardrobe error.
Unfortunately, most dorms do not come with any extra seats. As such, I've always made sure to bring an extra chair for my friends to sit in when they visit me in the dorms and I recommend you do the same!
You're friends will love hanging out in your dorm room with this chair.
Want to check out dorm chair options? I wrote a whole post on the best dorm chair options that you'll love. Click here.
Dorm Storage Essentials
Another dorm essential are storage bins. I was blessed enough to have two of these bins that carried all my favorite books from home and all the textbooks I collected over the years in college.
They can serve as wonderful storage for your items as well. When you're done with the bins, you can keep them nice and hidden under the bed and/or in your closet.
If you have tons of clothes or items, then this storage drawer will come in handy too. They are light enough to move around but strong enough to hold your most important items.
If you're OCD about cleaning or you've recently watched "The Edit" on Netflix and are feeling inspired to keep everything super organized, then consider buying a bathroom storage organizer.
It's a great way to make sure you can easily find your belongings rather than sifting through products of your dorm mates stuff to find yours.
Life-changing: I had one of these and it made sharing a dorm bathroom so much easier!!
Just slide this rack above the toilet and all of a sudden, you have three more shelves to hang towels, candles, hair supplies, or whatever else you desire.
Dorm Cleaning Essentials
As you know, dorm cleaning supplies are important dorm essentials. Below, I've included ever single thing you need to keep your dorm fresh and clean. And since you probably know most of these products, I won't go into any detail about them. lol
Dorm Tech Essentials
Dorms are horrible when it comes to outlets because outlets are few in number and are located in the weirdest, most inconvenient places.
As such, it is sooo necessary that you get a multioutlet strip. That way you can plugin as much as you need to without moving to an awkward place of the room.
I've never been a super sensitive sleeper but I've had dorm mates that need the AC running (no matter if its hot or cold), an open window, and/or the TV running in the background to fall asleep.
If that's you and you're sharing a dorm room with someone else, I recommend getting a noise canceller. That can solve your sleeping problem without bothering your dorm mate too much.
You'll never know when you might run into an emergency in the dorms, so I always recommend having one of these on hand.
During exam week, it was always tough to find an open printer on campus so I loved having my own printer to print from when it came time to print.
This was the printer I had in college. It's super reliable and budget-friendly.
Every now and then its helpful to take a break from school to just watch a show and get your mind off things...especially on Friday nights when you aren't studying anyways lol.
This TV is small enough to fit on top of your dresser.
A USB/HDMI connector for your Mac is a huge lifesaver. Many colleges still have systems that lack mac connections and if you are ever expected to present and need to your computer, this can really screw you over.
As such, if you have a mac computer, I highly recommend that you invest in a USB/HDMI connector. It will save you so much trouble and headaches.
Going away to a college where the town doesn't get much sun? If so, then I highly recommend investing in a light therapy lamp.
As a student, you'll already spend a ton of time inside studying and if you're not getting vitamin D by sitting next to a sun-kissed window, then, then you'll run the risk of becoming Vitamin D deficient.
Dorm Decor Essentials
I am absolutely obsessed with this wall art!! They easily take your room to the next level and brighten up the space making it really feel homey and more importantly...yours!
You'll need these frames for your wall art as they don't come pre-famed.
Instead of waking up to boring, white bare bone wall, you can wake up to a beautiful tapesty such as these.
Living away from home can be tough so having of your friends and family on the wall is a great way to bring home closer to you.
You can also brighten up your space by adding these lights.
Have some memorabilia that you want to hang up on the walls? This will get it done!
Another dorm decor essential that you should consider adding to your space is decorative pillows for your bed.
Beds take up so much of the dorm space, so why not make it look like a star by adding some bright, fun pillows.
Soo I didn't even know this existed when I lived in the dorms but I love how creative and functional this headboard.
Instead of buying an expensive headboard, you can attach this pillow-like headboard to your bed and give your bed the height and look of a real bed.
If you're obsessed with greenery as much as I am, then you'll lovve this! Wall vines can really add a "wow" factor to your room because it'll be totally unexpected by those who visit your room.
If you're not super sensitive to light while sleeping, then adding a neon sign to your space could be a really nice touch!
The next dorm essential worth considering is a mirror. If your desk is facing a wall, instead of staring straight at the wall, you can add a beautiful round mirror and use it as your make up station in the morning.
One of the things I loved loved loved adding to my dorm spaces is an iconic picture of someone of the past and this Audrey Hepburn picture blowing a bubble gum is gorg!
I definitely recommend adding this poster or something like it to your wall.
I've never really been into dream catchers but I have friends who are obsessed with these and they definitely are beautiful to look at.
It also makes a great piece for your wall.
The next dorm decor essential is a decorative area rug. If you have the money and can have room to spend it on rug that is more colorful and/or more like you, then go for it!
Decorative area rugs can make a huge statement for your room.
Dorm Medicine Cabinet Essentials
While you may never plan to get sick or hurt, its always good to plan for the off/bad days. These are all the things that should be in your dorm medicine cabinet.
Want to know what else should go into your medicine cabinet? One of them are an absolute must if you're a college freshman! Check out these dorm medicine cabinet
must haves here.
Dorm Laundry Essentials
Dorm essential must-have: It the dorm, its not uncommon for the laundry mat to be downstairs on the ground floor or across the courtyard from your building.
As such, its best to buy a laundry bag on wheels so you pulling, rather than carrying, your clothes.
The next dorm essential is laundry detergent. I like getting the pods because with just one pod, I can wash a whole load of laundry.
I never overdo it which often happens when I'm using the powdered or liquid soap kind.
The smell though.....is everything!!
When I wash my clothes, I don't like to put them back into my hamper where they were once dirty.
To keep them fresh, I place my clean clothes into these laundry bags and then slide them into the laundry basket on wheels back to my dorm.
Have a ton of clothes that need to go to the dry cleaners but don't have the budget to get them done professionally? Order this steamer.
I've used it many times to get out tough wrinkles and it gets them out in no time.
The next dorm essential you'll need is an iron and iron board.
I love that this iron board can sit comfortably and sturdy on your bed and then slide right under your bed when you're done.
Miscellaneous Life-Saving Essentials
Dorm beds sit pretty high even at its lowest level and one thing I loathe the most is stretching and fishing forever for one simple item.
This caddy makes it so easy to keep your most wanted items close.
Honestly there are many days when I prefer to work in bed but its hard to when you don't have the support you need for your work. That's why I love the idea of getting a bed desk.
Have a bed desk can give you way more stamina to work.
The next dorm essential you'll need is a stool. Dorm rooms are small and to fit your things, you may often need to stack things on top of each other, on top of the fridge, on the top shelf of your closet etc.
But getting to those things can be so annoying especially if you aren't that tall. For those reasons, I always recommend having a stool so that things are easier to grab and store away.
If your campus is anything like mine, walking from the dorm to class is a very, very long walk and if you cook your own meals, you may not want to have to constantly walk home between classes for meals.
As such, I recommend getting a lunch bag. Instead of walking to and from your dorm room for lunch and dinner, you can hang out at the library and take your study break to eat what you packed in your lunch box.
Another essential I recommend that you get is a lint roller! You'll never know when you'll have an outfit full of the fuzzies and need one of these to save the day!
If you'll be living in a place where it always rains, then get your some rain boots.
I alwayssss had a pair of rain boots in college because unfortunately, getting rain was a daily thing and I did not want to ruin my others shoes walking through the water and the mud.
These were definitely a shoe saver!
The next dorm essential you'll need is umbrella. When the sky is raining cows, you want to be prepared with the right umbrella. This is the umbrella that I have and am obsessed with it.
The button on the umbrella makes it super easy for me to open and close it back because closing and opening it is more or less automatic!
Together with the rain boots and umbrella, I'd recommend getting a raincoat so you prevent yourself from every getting wet and avoid the risk of catching a cold.
Super super dorm room essential: If you desire to hang ANYTHING in your dorm room, then you'll need these command wall hooks.
In most (if not ALL) dorms, you are not allowed to nail anything into the wall and so command hooks are a way around that.
It allows you to hang almost anything you want without leaving a mark, and it is super easy to come off when you're ready to pull the hook back down.
The next dorm essential I recommend that you buy is a pack of AA and AAA batteries. You never know when you'll need it - to refill the a flashlight or to play a board game - but its always convenient and sometimes life saving to have it on hand.
Even though I brought mini hand sanitizer bottles to my dorm room back in 2018, I never actually used the bottle because the need to sanitize so much wasn't so great.
But holy cow! In this global pandemic (which isn't over yet), I'm sanitizing every chance I get and keep sanitizer bottle in my desk drawer for convenience and good measure.
In my opinion, it's so so important to have mini hand sanitizers on hand because you are going to interact with SO many people and touch so many surfaces that hundreds of people have already touched for the day.
Stay healthy by sanitizing often with Purell's sanitizer bottles.
Have makeup that needs to be under a certain or controlled temperature or having snacks or drinks you don't want to risk leaving out in the refrigerator you share with your dorm mates?
Then I highly recommend getting a mini-refrigerator. Most college girls are getting minis for their dorm this year and on Amazon, you can get one for as low as $47.
If you're into greenery, like me, another dorm room decor essential is to add a plant. This plant is perfect for a dorm room because it looks so real but no maintenance required since its artificial.
If you get hot easily, then this fan is a down dorm room essential must-have!! You can set this fan on your desk or on your dresser, latch it onto your bed, and bring it to the library with you.
If you live hours away from home and know you're going to take trips home on the weekends or do some traveling on the weekends, then this is dorm room essential for sure.
This carry-on is big enough to hold all your weekend clothes and essentials but small enough to easily carry and move around.
When not in use, you can easily slide it under your bed or tuck it away in your closet.
If you want a bag that doesn't scream, "I'm going to the airport," then you can go with this cute travel bag.
If you're a huge germaphobe, then you may want to consider buying phone sanitizer UV box.
In college, your phone could and/or will touch MANY surfaces, including the shared kitchen and bathroom sink in your dorm, the cafeteria tables, class desks, library tables, the food court, etc.
This UV box is a little pricey but if keeping your phone clean is high on your priority list for germaphobe or health reasons, then I highly encourage getting this.
If you know you'll be traveling to and from home by plane quite a bit, then it'll be worth packing a travel pillow.
In college, I had a boyfriend who lived six states north of me and always took my travel pillow with me on 2+ hour flights.
With this comfy pillow, I could always catch up on some much needed sleeps and this travel pillow will do the same for you.
The next dorm room essential is this screen cleaning kit for laptops. As you know, students use laptops heavily and the screens can get during fast!
As such, I recommend getting a kit for yourself and use it anytime you need to clean your screen.
In my opinion, having at least one game on hand is a dorm room essential must-have!
You never know when you'll be hosting guests looking for something fun yet low-key to do or you get invited to game night but all the games suck, and you can save the day!
Cards Against Humanity is the game. It's literally the best game that ever existed and is the most popular game amongst college students. Your friends will NEVER get bored playing this game no matter how old they are and no matter their interests.
Your friends will always say "YES" to playing this game.
ESSENTIAL: Like I've said above many times, there will be times when you'll want to work in bed because you just don't have the energy or time to move.
Pillows (especially the decorative pillows), however, can suck at helping you to sit up right. They either slip down (eventually) or get crushed under your weight and don't revert back to its flat and fluffy state.
The Sherpa bed rest is designed to support your weight sitting up in bed and make it wayyyy more comfortable to work from the bed. I highly highly recommend.
College Clothing Must-Haves for Dorm Life
Yessss...Let's talk about clothes!! Below are every single clothing item that you need for your dorm room and college.
If you get cold easily and liked to be wrapped up, like me, then this is dorm room necessity.
The comfy will cover you from head to toe but still allow you to move about easily around the dorm or lounge comfortably on the couch.
The dorms get so cold (!!) so I honestly recommend every college student to pack one of these!!
Another nice alternative to the hoodie is this fleece jacket.
This often works better than hoodie when you're working in more professional spaces (such as an intern or academic assistant) so I always advise having one on hand if you anticipate that being your need.
VERY, VERY important dorm room essential:
I'm being dead honest when I say this but my feet has never (intentionally) touched the floor in my four years of living in the dorm.
I've always had a pair of bed slippers that I walked around with because the floors can get dirty fast when sharing a dorm room with multiple women.
In addition, most dorm rooms get insanely cold at night, so I used my dorm slippers every time I needed to use the restroom or walk about to avoid catching a cold.
If you hate black feet and/or catching colds, then make sure you get these bed slippers.
Another must-have dorm room essential is leggings.
In the dorm, when you're sitting around, it'll feel much better to wear something stretchy and super comfortable like leggings and instead of jeans that are often tight, itchy, and/or unbreathable.
Plus this makes great gym pants and bottoms for class.
Same for the joggers. Joggers will feel wayy more comfortable than jeans, if for example, you're going to spend all day in the library. I recommend having at least one pair.
Here is an affordable sweatsuit you can get on Amazon should you want a full body sweatsuit and not just the pants.
Okay so I've never personally owned a crop because I don't have the most flattering stomach but if you do, then get you a crop top for college now.
Crop Tops are super trendy right now and are a super cute top to where to the gym, to games, and parties.
Last but not least, the next dorm room essential you should have is fuzzy socks.
Fuzzy socks will keep you feet warm under covers (since you can't wear your bed slippers in bed) and another good alternative for walking about the dorm if you aren't big on wearing bed slippers.
