I’m the first in my family to go to a university and move two hours away and I’m so nervous but this video def helped me figure out what I’ll need 🥲

[@hrteyes4mingi]

I’m in the same boat this upcoming year, first year college student and let me say I am so nervous lol

How is it now?

As a current college student, DO NOT USE COMMAND STRIPS (unless your walls are made of brick/concrete) most people are not able to remove them properly and end up peeling the paint which will result in fees being charged to your school bill. Instead, use thumbtacks and fill the holes with bar soap at the end of the year, OR my personal fav now: blue-tac or some other kind of molding putty to stick things to your wall without damage!

[@pickles7168]

i just don’t bring a lot of big things to hang up so i can just stick with tape😭

[@baskervillebee6097]

Did you find the blue tack discolored the paint?

[@xsstellax]

this is literally the best guide to dorm essentials and college in general!! like, this is so informative and so helpful, i'm literally obsessing over this vid 💌🌷

i am a 39yo mom, why am i watching this? 🤣 some things never change. i was sooo homesick my first semester. i’ll add: don’t bring too much HS memorabilia with you. start fresh!

[@jodypope7083]

11:16 I disagree on decor, many of my friends and I have had the experience of getting seriously depressed in our dorms bc of the hospital vibes they were giving; then I covered the walls and added some nicknacks here or there having decor in a dorm doesn’t have to be a no go, you can make sure you have the space for essentials and work around that to help yourself thrive in your space. I recommend if you do want to do lots of decor just start slowly pack stuff up a few weeks to a month ahead of move out and, if you live a distance that isn’t too bad (like me I’m an hour out) you can do trips bringing things home so it won’t be so much to worry about in the end of the semester:)

[@kaelynelizabeth94]

this came at the perfect time omg!! currently shopping for dorm essentials as we speak. thank you for coming through as always, kenna

YOU SHOULD DO A MY FAVORITES VIDEO FOR THE MONTHSSSS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT

[@jennalynn2299]

The candle thing. I work at a hotel so I don’t doubt it’s a similar system. Candles and incense set off smoke/fire alarms. Glade plug ins are more advised for dorms

[@carafischer1229]

amazon has candle warmers so you don’t actually have to light the candles but also if you have a room check but your candles in a draw because RA's aren't allowed to look in your drawers

This helped answer a lot of my questions. I'm going to be a freshman in college and I have no idea what I'm doing 🙃

[@thegpshowtheshow]

what I like to do (even just at home) is using those 3 in one body wash, shampoo and conditioner things. I don't care if it has kids labels and stuff but it was so much easier that having 3 extra bottles and easier to label so your roommates (or siblings in my case) don't use your toiletries. I will warn you that it doesn't work for everyone but it works for me and I hope this tip helps someone

[@pomskylifenova7344]

So with the tide pods not melting properly and getting stuck to your clothes, it’s happened to me before (not sure why) but i just washed the clothes again and it went away !

Make sure you put the tide pod before you put your clothes in! that prevents the tide pod from damaging clothes
