Dorm Room Essentials

I have been looking into dorm room essentials. Not because I know much about it — I do not. But that is usually the best place to start.

I read through a bunch of notes, found some things worth passing along, and figured I would share what stood out.

Here is what I found.

Things to Know

• → Your shoulder straps aren’t the problem
• → The dry-erase marker trick actually works
• → Get a vinyl eraser and stop worrying about smudges
• → Get a poly binder with metal D-rings and stop worrying.
• → Get a soft vinyl eraser and stop worrying about torn paper
