Your Dorm; Your Life! Get Comfy!

Your college years are the most memorable years of your life. You'll meet new people from all over the nation and the world. It's your first time away from home and yup…your parents (yay!). Your college dorm is your new home for the next 5-10 months, so you want to be comfortable and have all the things you need right at your fingertips. Check out the list below! AND… congrats!

Frames – Stocked with photos of family and friends, frames can bring a touch of home to campus. Plus, pictures are a great icebreaker and conversation starter.

Alarm Clock – You won’t be there to make sure they’re up and out of bed. A battery-operated version might be helpful if the power goes out!

Entertainment – College isn’t all about studying. DVD players, video game systems, televisions and stereos are popular fixtures in college dorm rooms. Don’t forget the items to sit on such as inflatable or beanbag chairs.

Mobile Media Storage Units — College students frequently cross campus with CDs, DVDs and video games in-hand. To safeguard these items from harm, a product such as Vaultz Secure Storage Solutions should be considered. Vaultz offers an array of sturdy, stylish carrying cases from media binders to CD wallets, as well as high-capacity CD file cabinets for desks and counter tops. Each Vaultz product has its own locking mechanism.

Laptop Computer — Laptops are a college necessity. For in-class note taking, conducting Internet research and e-mailing, a computer that travels will help students keep up with all their daily activities.

Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) – One of today’s most popular technology products, PDAs help students stay on schedule and manage their time and assignments. A large selection of PDAs can be found at Best Buy, Circuit City, OfficeMax, Office Depot and Wal-Mart locations.

Kitchen Elements — The cafeteria is not always open, so having appliances such as a microwave oven and mini-refrigerator in your dorm comes in handy. Plus, don’t forget knives, forks and spoons.

HAVE FUN! CREATE MEMORIES! AND MOST OF ALL... GET YOUR SCHOOL WORK DONE BEFORE YOU GO PARTYING YOUR LIFE AWAY *wink*
