<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA Basic Tool Kit<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFor hanging a bulletin board, lights, putting together furniture, giving your dorm room a d\u00e9cor facelift down the road or when a battery operated item you ordered or own has those tiny little screws that keep you from getting to the batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Batteries\"](\"https:\/\/blog2.textbookrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/batteries.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBatteries<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSpeaking of batteries, have some extras of those on hand.\u00a0 Especially if you\u2019ve brought along a desktop computer (because gaming, right?). But really, the last thing you need is a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse\u2019s batteries dying on the last night you had to write that very last-minute paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Clothes](\"https:\/\/blog2.textbookrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/drying-rack.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nClothes Drying Rack<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYes, your school will have dryers, no they may not dry your clothes, especially if you stuff them with two weeks\u2019 worth of laundry. A drying rack (or two) is good for emergency drying when you\u2019ve just spent your last few quarters<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Quarters\"](\"https:\/\/blog2.textbookrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/quarters.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nQuarters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
And since we\u2019ve mentioned quarters – these coins are so valuable in college they may as well be made of gold. Bring as many as you can afford to take along for laundry (try to use cash or cards for vending machine snacks). You\u2019ll also need the rest of your gray-toned spare change, since some college\u2019s still use coin operated printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Bed](\"https:\/\/blog2.textbookrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bed-risers.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBed Risers<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSure you\u2019ll be able to slide some things under your bed, but let\u2019s lift it up and hide even more.\u00a0 Adding bed risers to your bed can triple the storage space in a small dorm room.\u00a0 Meaning it can take it from no storage, to a little more storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Electric](\"https:\/\/blog2.textbookrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/electric-kettle.jpg\")
