things i bought for college that i regret

1. a mesh shower caddy

—— it’s flimsy, there’s no place to hang it up, there’s pockets but things just all fall together anyways, it’s just not worth it. get a plastic one that stands up by itself.

2. tons of notebooks/folders/paper/etc

—— almost everything is done online nowadays. don’t buy school supplies until you know what you need. i could’ve gotten by the past few years with pens, a pencil, and my laptop.

3. a bed skirt

—— dorm beds just aren’t made for these. i thought it would be rly cute and aesthetic but me, my roommate, and both of our parents couldn’t figure out how to get in on without looking weird. also annoying when you have to lift it up to get things out from under your bed (which is a lot).

4. rugs.

—— i cannot explain how disgusting every rug in a dorm room gets. even with vacuums, even if you’re clean. they get gross and you end up throwing it out half way through the year. just get slippers.
