Whether you choose to dorm with your best friend or are assigned at random, learning to live with another person is something you must do while at college. You will have disagreements, arguments and even compromising. From these experiences, you’ll grow and mature. But there are a few ideas and neat products that will lessen the “Collegural” shock. You may have read one of my previous blogs about Douchitis on April 4th. The act of being a jerky roommate is a prime root of many college conflicts. Fortunately for everyone, it’s very easy to avoid. I will share some things I learned, so you can learn through me, rather that firsthand.
No one goes to bed at the same time and that’s a fact. So the moment one roommate decides to hit the sack, the other roommate (which may be you) has two options. You can be “that student” and leave all the lights on to read. Secondly you might try and finagle some apparatus with your light bulb to read. I’ve learned that a clip on bed light or flex LED light is the most convenient solution. These little buggers give you plenty of light that is positional and movable, allowing you and your roommate more sleeping privacy.
Fact, college students live off of snack foods and pre-packaged goodies. A fashionable trash bin will keep all this clutter in one place where it belongs. As the semester progresses, mounds of papers and your cookies from Aunt Cindy will accumulate. Having somewhere to put all this junk will instantly spruce up both your areas. Your roommate might not say it, but he/she will appreciate having a cleaner dorm.
Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica & College Storage Organizers!!! Whether you choose closet, underbed or behind the door, storing all your dorm stuff is a college necessity. Without these clever storage ideas, keeping your room clean would be a much more difficult task with your shoes, notebooks and clutter taking over. Nobody likes a slobby dorm room. Avoiding this messy room in the first place will go a long way for preventing arguments and to help you to not forget that critical exam paper.
Your time dorming will be some memories that you always take with you. Let them be the right kind, both fun and challenging. You can avoid many of the common hiccups for new college students by paying a little diligence and getting a few dorm essentials. You can find these useful college accessories at great website like www.dormco.com
