Sometimes it helps to make a list of the things you use every day. Go through your normal routine and just jot down what you use… maybe hairdryer, shampoo, toothbrush, etc. in the morning. Those give you the basics. I personally need my alarm clock. I also use a cork board. I can’t stick it too the wall but have it hanging on the back of my closet door. I put up notes about who I need to call, appointments, addresses I need in the near future and things like that. It’s been a big help to me. I also have a drying rack for towels. It’s a cheap one but I use it to dry things if I was caught in the rain (this happens a lot at my school). I also brought an extra chair. It’s a small armchair that I got cheap at goodwill but it is comfy. I prefer to sit there just to relax and it’s better than my desk chair that comes with the room. I didn’t get it until I moved my other stuff in so I made sure I had room for it.
