Hanging closet organizers made out of cardboard. A better choice would’ve been to combine two skinny Walmart plastic drawers into one tall one

Don’t buy much until you get there then see what you need, I wasted so much money trying to be prepared

ok this might be an unpopular opinion BUT my brita. my dorm was ridiculous in terms of mold and mold growing on things so having a brita made me incredibly paranoid. most of the time i couldn’t fathom drinking from it and i found it more useful to just buy bottled water. do whatever is best for ur lifestyle!!! i still keep the brita for cooking and such but i find myself more hydrated when i use pre-bottled water

i bought two of the cheapest laundry hampers you can buy at target for extra storage and they absolutely suck to hold bc the plastic just digs into your hands

i like mine only cause i got metal ones cause i knew the plastic ones would be goners. i definitely was able to fit more, but hanging stuff up and getting stuff in and out was a hassle simply cause i had too many clothes. i still use them because i still have a fairly small closet, and they’re holding up great, just annoying to work with from time to time
