Things you need that if you don't get now you're gonna wish that you did later. College dorm nonnegotiables. Part one. The theme is gonna be don't even bother going on campus unless you have these things. You're gonna wish that you did later. College dorm nonnegotiables. Starting off strong. These moving bags, bonus points because these ones are pink. I bought these my freshman year, going into my senior year. Still use them to come home for Christmas every single year. Literally no good reason you would need a moving box when these exist. Boxes are heavy, they don't fit as much, and they're awkward to carry. You'll want to use these to their fullest potential. You can wear them as a backpack. Same thing with the cart like this. Once you get into college, you're gonna learn very quickly that a lot of your struggle comes from lack of convenience. But trust me when I say you're gonna want things that make it as convenient as possible to move groceries, anything heavy. I used to carry my laundry in these. These rolling bags are also super popular. My personal opinion, they're a little pricey, so I put a really good dupe of them. Not people love them, and they probably work just as well. I'm just not sure if they carry as much crap as I need to carry and they don't store as easily as the other cart. The way you need to have one of them. Next one is if you get one thing off this list, begging you to make it this air purifier/dehumidifier. I still have mine to this day and it works amazing. Dorms get gross, muggy and humid. If you don't know what happens when things get gross, muggy and humid, you get mold. If you don't have one of these bad boys, you could go through what I went through. I went through mold poisoning. Oh, you didn't know mold poisoning was a thing? Neither did I. Coming from someone who had it. I just think we should take all precautions. I'm gonna say let's pick up a few of these bad boys as well. And because my flooding and mold happened in my closet, I'm also gonna recommend these. These hanging bags, they probably could have saved me from months of being sick. Then you only felt like you had the bubonic plague. Oh, you didn't know mold poisoning was a thing? Neither did I.

Make sure that you're following so that way you can keep up with all the best Prime Day deals. See on part two. Love y'all.
