Buy or Bye Amazon Dorm Essentials

Here are my honest thoughts about the trendy dorm room items as someone who has lived in a dorm/ type of place for 6 years.

This is just my opinion ofc get whatever you like and what will make you happy!

✰the nice mirrors are everything!! I recently got this one, but before had a cheaper circular one that I feel like is in the dorm section of every store. I never used the cheap one, but use this lighted one everyday!

✰I wouldn't recommend getting printed bedding. Bedding is one of the most expensive things you are going to get so I really recommend getting something nice that you can use again. My biggest regret was getting a twin size though. If I could go back I would get a full and have it be oversized the first year.

✰I LOVE my bed tray for studying, eating, painting my nails. Honestly I spent so much time in bed can’t even lie, so this was fav of mine.

✰the rolling carts are a no for me. I do still have mine, but I never used it to roll around. On top of that, they look super messy and honestly don't store that much for how much space they take up.

✰This one might be the most controversial, but I am not a fan of the ottoman storage cube things. In concept they seem great, but we just never used ours and it ended up taking up so much space. Also I do not think anyone ever sat on ours once.
