意料之外的大学生活必需品

First rule of shopping for college? Some stuff that seems excessive, is essential.

Many of your fellow students won’t discover this until they’re in a pinch, but by then it’ll be too late. You know, like the night before a project or that awkward moment when their dorm room smells like a gym locker. You, however, will be calm, cool and collected (and aroma-free) – having anticipated the essentials and sitting back enjoying the breeze from your tower fan (see #6 below).

Here are a few must-haves:

Tap water in many dorms is, how shall we say… a little nasty. Definitely not suitable for a freshman on the go. Turn it into healthy, tasty drinking water with the water filtration pitcher.

Small spaces call for big ideas – not big odors. Odor-killing trash bags scented with Febreze will keep any fragrant faux pas to a bare minimum. Keep your trash out of the way – and smelling fresh.

Laptop, tablet, phone, fridge, TV, lamp… the list goes on but the wall outlets always seem to stop short. Maximize your space – and keep your life super-charged – with Multi-plug the outlet extension cord.

This stuff works magic – no joke. Freshen up your room and bathroom with the meadows and rain scent. Who says cleaning up after yourself is so hard? DISCLAIMER: It won’t make your roommate any cleaner, but at least their laundry hamper will be a bit more tolerable.

A classic is a classic for a reason, and a pair of scissors is the throwback to get the job done. Whether it’s opening a care package or completing an art project, you can’t go wrong with this time tested, teacher-approved tool.

Even when classes are heating up you’ll stay cool with the tower fan. Better equipped with an automatic shut-off timer plus sleep and breeze controls, it allows you to customize your chill factor no matter how hot things get outside.

Second rule of shopping for college? Even when you think you’ve anticipated every possible need…chances are pretty good you’ll find yourself in a pinch at some point. Have a gift card or two handy – to stock up on those unexpected essentials.
