Many people are thrilled
to go to college. They imagine their college years to be the most amazing in
their lifetime and look forward to starting their new lives as adults. Most
people associate this period with constant partying. However, there is more to
it. Students need to learn to be responsible and organized, and how to get by on
little money. They have to study and make decisions, clean their rooms and keep
everything under control.

Life in college is difficult. One of
the first problems students face is storage. So little space and so many
belongings! “How do I ever cope with that?” As a matter of fact, everyone
eventually gets to asking the same question. How do you store all your stuff in
a small dorm room? The thought of it makes you sick and it's only a matter of
time before you get this how-did-I-get-here feeling. But no worries. Something
can be done. There are some very useful storage solutions to help you stay organized and clean despite the small size of your room. Take a look below.
Under-bed Storage: Bed Risers
You can't imagine how much stuff you
can store under your bed. In a small dorm room, using bed risers seems like a
fantastic idea. A bed takes up a lot of space and it's something you can't do
without. Don't you wish you could raise it a little so you could place a number
of things under it? All you need is bed risers. They can be found in some
stores. These gadgets allow you to lift your bed so that there is some space
under it. Once you provide more room for your stuff, your room will look more
spacious.
Purchase a set of bed risers and do
the trick. If you can't do it alone, ask a friend to help you.
Closet and Clothes
Wondering how to hold all roommates'
clothes in one single closet? Use rod doublers. They are very handy and
can double the hanging space in any wardrobe, allowing you and your roommates
to store all the clothes you have. If you need more space for your folded
clothes, rod doublers will not be of any help. To take full advantage of the
space in your closet you'd better add drawers.
Other Storage Alternatives
There are a variety of storage
supplies available on the market. You just need to explore all the options and
see which fits best the size of your room. For example, you can buy storage
caddies. It's a great option for girls who can store their cosmetic
products inside. Caddies can be hung in the wardrobe, on the door or anywhere
else so they don't take much space. With this done, there will be more room for
other belongings on your shelves.
Are you wondering where to store your
shoes? Got too many of them? There are closet organizers that can be
hung over the inside of a closet door. They have “pockets” where different
stuff can be placed. Apart from placing your shoes there, you can also add
other belongings. The advantage of using over-the-door organizers is that they
don't take up space and keep your stuff out of sight and off the floor. Plus,
they hang over closets very easily.
Hook racks can give you additional
space for storing your possessions anywhere in the room. You can install hook
racks on the door, wall, window sill and even on a desk.
Keeping your dorm room clean and organized is important, even though it may not seem so right now, so it's a
good idea to be creative when it comes to storage space.
