College students claim they don’t have enough space in their dorm room
or apartment, but they’re probably using their space ineffectively. With this guide,
we’ll show you how to maximize your organization and storage.
- Add a Second Rod to Your Closet. Two rods (one about
three feet under the other one) immediately doubles the amount of
clothes you’re able to fit in your closet. It’s practical, and
necessary, if you plan on bringing a lot of shirts.
- Storage Bins. They hold miscellaneous items and
slide neatly under your bed. Larger storage bins (ones with
sliding drawers) are capable of holding televisions, lamps, and
microwaves. Just get creative.
- Walls. They are capable of holding calendars,
photos, even houseplants. If you have trouble remembering to do
assignments, post your syllabi to the wall near your desk.
- Keep Your Desk Organized. The last thing you want is
a cluttered desk. In college, your desk may act as a place for
homework, a dinner table, a cutting board, and a place for your
computer. If you keep your desk clean, you’ll be able to finish
your work in less time and be more productive.
- Keep Practical Objects Nearby. There’s no reason to
store your stapler in a box under your bed. And you don’t need to
keep your tape dispenser in your closest. Find the objects you
use frequently and place them within arms length of our desk.
