Yeah. I moved into college this week. For the first time.

As an avid pinner, I had a lot of expectations moving in. I had visions of how cute my dorm was going to be. And I had a set list of hacks I was going to use to make life a little bit easier.

Some of them worked.

Some of them didn't.

For the people who have yet to move in and have the same expectations I did, here are some things you should not pin so the same void does not await you.

1. Hooks for everything

These will probably work if you're trying to hang a paperclip or something. But a towel? Just hang it on one of the random screws hanging on the walls in your room. They're always there. That's what I did.

2. Binder clips to organize chords

Your desk will probably not be able to fit your binder clips. If they do, congratulations. But chances are, they won't. And your chargers will never be organized. Sorry.

3. Magnetic strips to hold bobby pins, nail clippers, etc.

They will fall off.

4. Double sided tape over masking tape to put up posters without ruining the paint

It WILL NOT stick. Use command strips for everything.

5. Keeping your textbook open with a pen.

Because honestly, anyone who tells you this is a "dorm room hack" probably thinks you're stupid.

Or they ran out of ideas.
