Jenneth Leed

We’ve all been there. Our Pinterest history proves it. Heading to college for the first time, you’ve no doubt looked up hacks and decor for your new dorm room. Having been a college student for four years, I’ve learned Pinterest hacks aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, but I have discovered my own seven great dorm hacks for a new room at Pensacola Christian College you can check out below:

  1. Offer to do the shower first.
  2. Don’t swap room jobs.
  3. Invest in a bed shelf.
  4. Keep your care package boxes.
  5. Have your own junk drawer.
  6. Make a pantry.
  7. File your clothing.

Freshman year, I roomed with my best friend and neither of us had any experience in being college students, but the three years following, we were the oldest and were able to train our own incoming freshmen.

You and your best friend have both announced that you’ll be attending the same college together for the next four years. You’ve got it all planned out. Life will be a party. You’ll do lunch every day together, go to basketball games, grab coffee every Tuesday.

And the best part? You’ll share a room. It’s like one, massive sleepover, right?
