Dorm organization tips to keep your tiny box of a room clutter-free

I know, I know, living in a teeny tiny dorm — most likely with a random roommate — is hard. But if you nail the whole "making the most of the space" thing and stay on top of organizing your dorm, it can be a lot of fun, too. This compact space is your first step into the adult world, and it’s (probably) your first taste of independent living away from your fam.

Naturally, you want your dorm to be the space you can relax after a hectic day of classes. The issue is that if the room is disorganized, you’re probably going to find relaxing a li'l tricky. The good news is, even if your tiny dorm features cinder block walls and furniture that gives low-key jail vibes, if everything is organized (and you add some personality to the space) it can be a much calmer and more relaxing place.
