Here comes the Dorm Room

As I did the dorming thing last year, I have a little bit of experience of what to bring. I did not have all the things below, but they are all things I used (meaning I had to borrow it at some point) or just things that I saw that made other people's lives much easier. I was looking online for many of these things because if you are moving far away, free shipping can be a big help. Also, make sure you bring many organizational bins with you the very first day. Once I moved in, I kept saying I would go out and buy some organizers, but that day never came and my room was a mess. I plan on being the model of efficiency this year. Stacks and stacks or Organize.com are the best for things like that. I got many of the below suggestions from them. I think its wise to buy a couple of things ahead of time online-preferably, the boring things.
