1. Dry-erase markers

You don't even need a whiteboard! You can use them on your mirror and leave yourself homework reminders, appointment times, and motivational notes for the morning.

2. A Brita filter

Buying plastic water bottles can get real expensive real quick. And the more water bottles you go through, the more frequently you have to take the trash out. So, investing in a Brita filter and a reusable water bottle saves time, money, and the environment!

3. Air fresheners

Imagine coming back to your room after a long day of class only to be met with that egregious odor of dirty laundry, dirty dishes, and the trash you have yet to take out. Obviously, the logical solution would be to do your laundry and dishes and take the trash out, but obviously, you don't want to. So just do what any college student would do, and spray the heck out of that Febreze.

4. Extra chargers

Just bring extra! Enough said.

5. Quarters

Yeah, the laundry machine only takes quarters. But more importantly, the hot chocolate machine only takes quarters.

6. Paper towels

Gatorade. Mountain Dew. Milk. Eye-makeup remover. Laundry detergent. Dish soap. There are too many things in your room with high spill-potential to not have an easily accessible roll of paper towels.

7. Your stuffed animal

What's a good night's sleep without your stuffed animal?
