If you have a small closet — aka a dorm room closet — you know that keeping all your clothes, shoes, and accessories organized is a constant challenge. Add in a few hurried mornings and some quick outfit changes between class and dinner with friends, and your closet can feel like an obstacle course of yoga leggings and going-out tops.
When the semester is in full swing, your schedule is nonstop. But even on the days you barely have a minute to pop by your dorm room, it’s important that your space helps you feel ready for anything.Peyton Koch, a student at Central College, wanted to add a bit of decor that would also help keep her organized.
College is a time of intensive learning, and we’re not just talking about the classroom. These four years are also about learning how to live on your own — which might mean figuring out for the first time how to do laundry or keep surfaces clear of clutter. (Turns out there wasn’t a tiny elf who did that in the middle of the night.)In this new phase of adulting, a little help goes a long way: like college essentials from IKEA.
