If your school hasn't started yet, it's right around the corner. So here is my list of the best supplies, decor, and necessities from Amazon.

Tupperware

Rubbermaid Easy Find Vented Lids Food Storage Containers, Set of 21 (42 Pieces Total), Racer Red

You never know when you need containers for your leftover food. Or even for your ramen noodles!

Makeup Mirror With Lights

10x Magnifying Makeup Mirror with Lights, 3 Color Lighting

This mirror is great for those who have to do their makeup every morning and need the absolute perfect lighting for it too!

Tapestry of any color!

Tapestry for Dorm Room

Tapestries are great for dorm decoration, no matter what color or theme you are looking for. Don't want to spend lots of money on different decorations, spend $10 on a tapestry and cover basically the whole wall.

LED Lights

16.4 Foot RGB LED Light Strip + Remote

Think of all the viral Tik Toks you could make with these lights! Also great lighting for studying and doing homework.

Power Strip

Flat Plug Power Strip with 3 USB, 5 FT Extension Cord, 3 Electrical Outlets

There are so many things that you are going to have to plug in and there's only limited outlets. Power strips make life so much easier.

Command Hooks & Strips

Command Strips 18 Pairs

Command Hooks, 6 Hooks

These are going to come in so handy when decorating and putting together your dorm! Especially you get a tapestry, you're going to need something to hang it up with ;).

Mattress Topper

2" Mattress Topper Twin XL

Not going to lie, the dorm mattresses are nothing compared to your bed at home. The mattress topper can at least help by not giving you back cramps.

Desk Lamp + Wireless Charger

3 Brightness Level LED Desk Lamp with Wireless Charger

Up late doing homework? Boom, desk lamp and phone charger to solve all your problems.

Storage bins

6 Pack Cube Foldable Storage Bins

These foldable storage bins are great to un-clutter a space. Perfect storage space for little things like makeup, dishes, or chargers.

Bath Robe

Terry Cloth Bath Robe

Who want's to walk back to your room from the shower in a towel? Any terry cloth robe is a good material and texture for after the shower.

Shower Shoes

Shower Sandal Slippers

White shower shoes are preferred but not a requirement. Anything with holes will dry quickly.

Photo Clip String Lights

Photo Clip String Lights 17 FT, 50 Clear Clips

Missing home? Add your favorite photos of your hometown, family, and friends. Cute decor and wall filler for a dorm.

First Aid Kit

First Aid Kit, 140 Pieces

Just in case of emergency. Also to make your mom feel a little safer ;)

Reading Pillow

Reading Pillow

Nobody likes doing homework hunched over. A reading pillow can instantly solve that problem by one, improving posture, and two improving comfort.

Hand Tools Set

Household Hand Tools

You literally never know when you're going to need it. I promise it will come in handy!!

Desk Supplies Organizer

Desk Supplies Organizer

There is going to be so much stuff that has zero space to go. This organizer is perfect for a stationary set, tacks, paper clips, or really anything of the sort.

Essential Oil Diffuser

Essential Oil Diffuser

Wax warmers and candles are not allowed, but this is a great option to keep your room smelling fresh.

Laundry Back Pack

Laundry Back Pack

Walking around with baskets and hampers is too much. This back pack makes laundry days much more bearable

Pepper Spray

Much needed for late night classes and commute.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
