What You NEED for Your College Dorm Room | Shopping + Packing Essentials | KENNEDY SIMONE

[@tanishaharris-sykes3289]

Some other things you may add are: 1) A mini tool kit (Hammer, screwdriver, etc.) There were several times my roommates and I needed tools. Thank God my mom thought to send a tool kit with me; 2) A Bible-a tangible/hard copy one! As a person of faith, the mere sight of the Word of God was comforting to me when I would walk in my dorm room after a rough day. Further, students are exposed to A LOT during their college years. Hence, they need a vice!; 3) An eye mask for those times when your roommate has to study late/after you go to bed. Sometimes, even the desk lamps are bothersome if you sleep in darkness; 4) Small crates for stackable extra storage; and 5) Condiments! They ALWAYS come in handy!

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

yess i agree with all of those :)

[@k.herondalle]

Good tips I know you talked about air fresheners but oooh girl what about plug ins for your room I have one at home in my bedroom it smells so good and it makes your dorm room smell good btw use Bath and Body works plug ins with the wall flower device it’s lasts a month before replacing 😊 it’s called Champagne Toast by Bath and Body Works

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

ᗷᖇE ᗷᖇE yeah that works too, anything that makes your room stay fresh :)

[@francita0076]

Tide pods are good depending on the washing machine. At my school tide pods don't work so you have to use detergent. Check with your school!

[@miacrocy]

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

[@sherricewright7438]

[@kammy7863]

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

its never too late sis!! i really appreciate the kind words & new music coming soon girlll :)

[@The020300knp]

Ehh depending on your college I don’t know if I’d recommend getting tide pods. My college washers didn’t handle them well and they wouldn’t dissolve right and they’d be stuck to your clothes.

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

karrigan yeah do what works for you lol everybody’s situation is different

[@DragonKingTheYT]

You the bomb girl ❤❤❤❤🎉

[@playg1rlrav]

$50!? We only get $5. Whew! Good thing I got a printer for my room.😊

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

right!! lol

[@KierraMarcia]

This was so helpful!! Can you do a video about like food to take to college?

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

Kierra Marcia thats kind of a preference thing lol but i would just recommend your favorite drinks and snacks for the room. you’ll most likely go to the cafe or order food from restaurants

[@KierraMarcia]

OfficialKennedySimone oh okay 😂😂 I’m new to this college stuff girl 🤦🏿‍♀️ I’m just trying to make sure I get the right stuff

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

Kierra Marcia that’s how i was too girl! dont stress, you’ll be fine :)

[@thelillydiaries7948]

[@Anymous578]

[@playg1rlrav]

You’re so pretty, Ken!❤️ I already have my things but toiletries I just watched for fun.

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

[@1mrtbone]

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

1mrtbone im sure it did! spelman doesn’t allow us to have mini fridges in our rooms unless approved for medical reasons but luckily my roommate had one & it help a lot!! :)

[@1mrtbone]

wow that not cool kids need cold drinks in those hot ass dorm rooms. they need to change that policy

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

1mrtbone i agree!! lol

[@alexisvisco3524]

Is it weird that I think the beds at school are more comfortable than the one I have at home?? I’ve been sleeping on the same mattress since I was 9 and I’m 18 currently

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

oh yeahhh see new mattresses are way better than the ones at school lol

[@michaelgasdick4179]

I sleep on my sister’s old mattress from when she was in high school... she’s 33 now 💀

[@destinyx4385]

[@G88-y9e]

I have a question so i’m staying in state for school would you still recommend staying on campus

[@OfficialKennedySimone]

dorm life is definitely a major part of the college experience but if you can save money by living at home then don't waste more money than you have to. hopefully that helps, its ultimately you and your family's decision :)

[@malayaw8]
