Comfortable dorm bedding will get you more than your share of great night's sleep, but the nap is a different element. If you change into your PJs and climb into bed for a nap, you risk not waking up until next week. So stay above the covers and toss a nice soft blanket or throw over you. better yet, curl up on the dorm futon. Our college futons are comfy enough for that quick nap needed to get you through the day. And since napping is a daytime activity, keep your dorm room nice and dark with blackout curtains- you'll really feel like you're sleeping in a cave. But if your roommate is around and needs the curtains open or the lights turned on, a sleeping mask can be just the solution you need to avoid a roommate arugment. It may be noon, but trust us, your eyes won't know the difference.

Hopefully you were able to visit your school and even sample the on-campus cafeteria food. If it was good, that's great. If not, be prepared to load up your room with dorm snacks. Despite having bought plenty of meal passes to your school's grub station, you'll quickly find that eating becomes a sporadic, on-the-go activity. Stocking dorm shelves with all sorts of studying snacks is a quick and easy solution, but there's still plenty of microwave cooking hacks to be tried in your living quarters...just don't set off the fire alarm! Our Dueling Cooker will let you heat up soup, ramen noodles, mac 'n cheese, frozen veggies, or any other microwave meals that college students love, two at a time! Want some pizza rolls with your mac 'n cheese? Our Dueling Cooker is just what you need. And who said you couldn't eat healthy? Whip up a smoothie with a blender for a mid-day boost or healthy breakfast. When it comes to eating in your dorm room, these college kitchen items are dorm essentials!
