These Are The Organization Essentials To Pack For College This Year

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

 

Your dorm should be a place where you can unwind after classes, homework, and club activities — not somewhere that causes you more stress! But, with a busy schedule, it can be hard to find the motivation to keep your space a comfortable, clean, peaceful oasis that you actually look forward to being in.

If you stay organized and have the right supplies on hand, though, you’ll be able to continue enjoying your time in your dorm studying, watching movies with your roomie, and catching much-needed Z’s.

Need some ideas on how to keep your dorm organized this year? Check out our favorite organization essentials from Command™ Brand that you *need* to pack for college!

Cord Organizers

Whether you always find yourself rushing to untangle your computer charger before class, or simply just like the clean look of having wires out of the way, these Command™ Cord Bundlers are a great way to improve the appearance and flow of your dorm.

Command™ Cord Bundlers, $13

Wall Caddy

Limited on space? Place this wall caddy above your desk for organizing your pencils, pens, and highlighters! Or put it above your vanity to keep your mascara, brushes, and eyeliner sorted. The Command™ Organizing Caddy holds up to 10 pounds, so it’s reliable for whatever you decide to use it for.

Command™ Organizing Caddy, $19

Wall HOOK

There’s no better feeling than taking your backpack off after walking around campus. Instead of just leaving it in the walking path of your dorm, put a large, heavyweight hook next to your door, so you can hang it up and avoid tripping over it later. Your roommate will thank you!

Command™ 15 lb X-Large Hook, $10

PICTURE HANGING STRIPS

Greek life recruitment. Midterms. Your best friend’s birthday. There are so many dates and tasks you need to remember, so use these hanging strips — which hold up to 20 pounds — to put your whiteboard on the wall for staying organized and on top of your busy schedule. 

Command™ 20 lb White Picture Hanging Strips, $8

WIRE HOOKS

For the items that don’t quite fit under your bed or in your closet, try to hang them up on wire hooks around your dorm room! They can hold your cleaning supplies, like a broom or dust rags, or you can use them to hang your jewelry or reusable grocery bags!

Command™ Medium Wire Hooks, $5

ENTRYWAY ORGANIZER

If you lose your keys a lot or have trouble remembering what you needed at the store, then you need an entryway organizer. It’s also the perfect place for writing inspirational messages to read before heading out the door.

Command™ Dry Erase Message Center, $16

WALL CLIPS

Dorm lighting feeling dull? Add some string lights to brighten it up! Just simply hang up the Command™ Clear Decorating Clips to secure the string lights across your wall.

Command™ Clear Decorating Clips, $14

DECORATIVE HOOKS

Use these decorative hooks to keep your hat collection tidy! With your favorite baseball caps displayed on the wall, they’ll be organized and easily accessible, so getting ready for that early morning class will be a breeze.

Command™ Medium Matte Black Decorative Hooks, $14

Thanks to these must-haves from Command™ Brand, your dorm is bound to be organized and stress-free!
