Okay. Having a communal bathroom isn't the worst living arrangement ever, but it’s definitely an adjustment.

6. Power strips

You can never have enough outlets, especially if you’re sharing a room with someone else. If you want to be fancy, SWEON Bed Risers actually come with power outlets and USB Ports on them.

It's when you're finally on your own that you realize how much dust you're capable of creating. A broom and dustpan can only do so much, so a small, hand-held vacuum like the Black+Decker Dustbuster Cordless Hand Vacuum will be your best friend during cleaning sprees.

If you're truly lucky, you'll have your own private bathroom -- or you'll be asked to share it with just a few others, and so you might need to bring a shower curtain. The Grey Stripe AmazonBasics Shower Curtain apparently resists mildew, which is pretty necessary for a bathroom used by multiple people.

11. Hangers

You don’t fold dresses, buttons-down, or slacks and stuff them in a drawer-- instead, you hang them in a closet like the adult you (almost) are. Avoid wrinkles and save precious drawer space by getting a 20-piece set, like these Anglink Velvet Hangers. Why velvet? Your clothes are less likely to slip and fall to the floor because the material has more grip.

12. A hamper

No one wants to see your dirty underwear out on the floor. Hampers are therefore an absolute must. A lightweight one like the Mesh Popup Laundry Hamper will hold all your dirty clothes, and can even folds up for easy portability.

13. A laundry bag

When I was a freshman, I witnessed someone make three trips from their room to the laundry and room in order to wash one load of clothing. This happened because they didn't have a bag and carried everything by hand. Don’t be that person. A washable one like the MILACA Nylon Laundry Bag will make your life much easier.

14. A shoe organizer

Central air is a luxury -- so chances are you won't have it during your four years of college. If that’s the case, a small fan like the Genesis 6-Inch Clip-On Fan can be a decent substitute on unbearably hot days. (But really, where’s the AC?)

17. An air freshener

A room that smells nice is impactful, especially when entertaining guests. No one should ever have to spend time in a dorm room that reeks of unidentifiable odors. Do yourself -- and your friends -- a favor and get an air freshener, like the Glade PlugIn Oil Air Freshener. It's worth the couple bucks of investment.

18. A Swiffer mop

How did we function as a society without the Swiffer? It can mop, it can sweep, it can even trick children into cleaning the house. You need one.

19. Towels

If you’re going to shower and be a functional human being, towels are a definite necessity. Get a big set of fluffy ones, like the 6-Piece Towel and Washcloth set.

20. A good attitude

Via Giphy

Just be nice. Moving into a dorm is stressful enough as it is, and the adjustments that come after saying goodbye to your parents can be scary and emotional. Make it easy for everyone involved, and don't forget to dust.
