Here are a couple of space-saving tips from a college student. You probably only need one plate, one mug, one set of cutlery, and one bowl. You're not gonna have a dishwasher to dump it in so you're gonna have to wash it immediately in the bathroom sink anyway. A mesh caddy is super helpful because it can mold to whatever shape you need and it's hangable. I don't know how useful the toaster thing is gonna be because she's not gonna have any counter space. I was in a triple my freshman year, and my roommates and I had one mini fridge (with freezer) with a microwave on top. For the decor part, we had lofted beds, so we just decorated the area near our beds however we wanted with pictures, fake plants, etc. You'll find out really quick that you might not use many of the items that you bought. Most dorms have thermostats, so you may not need the fan. A printer is not needed because the library would have a printer and she is likely to get printing dollars from the school for the semester. She won't need the tool kit because you can always call maintenance or campus safety to get anything fixed. Also, if she needs something, she can always buy it after the year progresses. I recommend starting minimal and adding on only if you need things. Good luck for the next 4 Arianna!!

Congrats to your child for graduating! I actually didn't mind our college beds.

This reminded me of when my daughter moved to college. She only lived in the dorms for 2 years, then moved to her own apartment. Being an only child, she needed more privacy. Don’t forget to put her name or at least initials on everything. If your daughter is serious about getting good grades, head to the library, not a dorm room for doing school work. Don’t forget feminine hygiene products. If her college is in a rural area, they may more difficult to buy. Lastly, a quote from Shakespeare, “Neither a lender or borrower be”. She will get along with her roommates much better by following this. Good luck to Ariana!

So much good advice, I will add you won’t need the tool kit because you call maintenance if somethings broken. A lock box for any valuables or medication is a good idea. We moved my daughter with plastic storage totes that way when she came home everything was in the totes to store in her room for the summer. No reason to store anything that’s in her room at home, when she’s home on weekends or breaks she’s going to want to grab different items or clothes and switch them out as she goes.

Not sure which college she’s heading to out here but Maintenance pretty much everywhere is a joke, best to have her learn skills she’s going to need in the long run anyways. Plus if she can’t use it there’s multiple people in the family that could use it. Good advice otherwise though :)

So exciting for you guys! Especially ari! But can I just suggest, I know you got the toaster, but there is a microwave that you can toast, air fry, bake, microwave and convection bake.

I agree, the air fryer alone in the one you describe is much more beneficial. Even the “oven” part of the flip toaster they purchased is limited in usage….I feel like it would just toast, but in the flat sense.

White towels is such a bold move especially going to college.

My recommendation is to get reusable totes/bags to move in with. Clothes and everything. Then you have them for whenever you come home for breaks and aren’t scrambling to find a trash bag or multiple bags to put stuff in. Saved my roommate and I a lot of time and money!!

Make sure she’s allowed to have the “red light” items like toasters and toaster ovens…..most colleges don’t allow them.

Also, I want to add that no matter how many things you buy, you will need more when you get there and adjust. Or maybe one of the dorm mates will have whatever it is. I love these type's of videos. I am 55 and get excited and it isn't even me going lol. It brings back great memories.

Hey Crystal...typically when a child leaves for college, especially one an hour away...they keep their bedroom at home. I don't know anyone (and in my community everyone goes away) who didn't keep their own rooms. Also...clothes for each season is what is needed in the dorm room.

Hi Crazy Pieces! I have been watching your channel for a long time, and I’m so excited for Ariana to go to college. I have a top 5 list of things to bring to college. 1. A mattress topper/mattress pad. It will help her sleep better. 2. Power strip with surge protector, extension cord. Oftentimes the outlets in dorms are in weird places that she can’t reach. 3. A fan. It helps keep the temperature cool and also helps with white noise. 4. Organization stuff. I got some hanging organizers and it was a lifesaver! 5. A box of over the counter medicine (Tylenol, sudafed, ibuprofen, other stuff she uses when she’s sick.) Theres nothing worse than not feeling well and having to leave to go get medicine. You probably will not need the toaster oven. Can’t wait to watch Ariana’s college journey!

Man I remember going to college and shopping for all of this stuff by myself. I remember buying tampons with dimes and pennies sometimes. Crystal shows me what a good mom is. Sometimes watching is a bit triggering because I wish things were different for me and a lot of others out there.

HUGE SUGGESTION: To save you space, give you storage, and helps to pack when moving each year. Get the long, flat roller bins. You can easily pack everything for moving and once you are unpacked, they fit perfectly under the bed out of site and then you can use them as storage for snacks or clothes!

Oh my goodness , plus clothing a foot ware ? She just bought more than I could have had in my first dorm room with only one roommate ! Bathroom and shower down the hall communal . I took an iron, ironing board , hair dryer ( before blow dryers), curlers, school supplies seasonal clothing . I could never have taken that much stuff . We had to walk to town to use a laundromat . We sat on our beds to study. No desks . Good luck in school .You have to work hard . No not procrastinate 😎

One of my hacks for moving my children in to college is large plastic totes. to store everything in to move in and to move out. I had 3 in college, and everyone had different color totes to make it easier to pack up and go. You are lucky she is close. We live in Connecticut and 2 of the kids stayed in state and 1 went to school at Florida International University. Move in and out were the same weekend for my kids. I would do the Florida move in and out and my hubby did the Connecticut move in and out.

We rented a storage unit and stored my daughter's stuff instead of hauling it home between semesters. Saved so much time and only cost a bit more than renting a uhaul would have.

Gosh this brings me back. My freshman year I tried to cram so much stuff in my tiny dorm, but by the next year, I was like, okay, just these 2 boxes, and I'm good. LOL. Everybody worries a little about the roommate situation, but just be open and friendly, try to share, agree to some rules with each other about noise and guests coming over, and you'll be fine. Hope you have the greatest time ever. P.S. Everyone says I'll be back every weekend mom/dad, but trust me, once school gets going, you're going to be so busy and socializing with all your new friends that you'll look up and it will be Fall break.

Do not forget to buy a mattress topper! White towels are probably not a good idea. Being 1 hour from home she needs to keep her room at home. She will be home more often than you think, and she will come home during the holidays.

As always, Hannah is so relatable. Just gotta love her.

My kids college dorm rooms didn't allow hot plates, toasters, air fryers, crock pots. Absolutely nothing that cooks food. They required all students living on campus purchase the meal plan. The dorms with the kitchenette in them allowed more cooking items.

I LOVE HANNAH’S MAKEUP! at first i didn’t even realize she had makeup on! natural beauty!!!!🥰🔥

Good luck in college Ariana!! You should be so proud of yourself, chase those dreams and make them happen ❤️❤️

LOL I know it's hard not to buy the entire store and be so excited for your daughter, it's like she's moving into her own place but not. I would save your receipts as I do not believe she will have enough room for all those things. That dorm was super small. Love everything you bought her though, you sure are a loving caring mom. I lost my mom in 2019 and I really miss her when I see mother & daughters doing bonding things like this. All the best.

Lol Crystal is here suggesting a lap desk and all this random stuff while my mom is just suggesting that I don’t waist my money… lol they really love shopping.

I know when I was a freshmen and lived in dorm over 5 years ago, the mattresses my dorm had at my school where not very confortable. I solved that problem by getting a matress topper. I would highly recommend getting a matress topper to put on top of the matress. Bed Bath & Beyond has great matress toppers.

Hi I have been watching your channel for just over one year now and am so happy to see Hanna without makeup and feel she looks beautiful without any makeup as I always felt she always had to much on and now she looks stunning without any makeup on.

******* My suggestion is to get a mattress topper!! You’ll thank me later!! Been through that with my kids!!The dorm beds aren’t that comfy!

Typically dorms do not allow kitchen items other than a microwave, coffee maker, and fridge, but that would be so nice for Ariana if she could have small appliances.

I am so thrilled for Ariana that she got into college. Made the cheer team but most of all that she decided to live in the dorms. I don't think she is going to regret that decision. It'll be the best times of her life the memorys that she will make. Sending love from Los Angeles 💜💛

Ariana, I am so proud of you and can’t wait to see the amazing things you accomplish in college!! Something else you may want is a body mirror (saves space and is very useful)

Check to see if they have to clean the bathrooms or not. Some colleges have housekeeping that does that. The large blue IKEA bags are a HUGE help for moving. Use large Rubbermaid totes for moving so that you can use them for storage over the summer. The main shoes that most wear are tennis shoes because of all the walking. I highly agree with the comments on kitchen appliances not being allowed, the refrigerator and microwave are usually the only things allowed.

This is so exciting!! We need a dorm room tour once Arianna is there & all settled.

if you can get any of those big blue ikea bags, they sell some on amazon that are close but they make moving in so much easier with carrying! they have straps and are so strong!

So excited for u, Ariana! Stay focused. Stay positive. Stay humble. Btw, that sage color is one of my favorite color beside lavender. Blessings to u, ur amazing family n to all... Love n Aloha from one of ur biggest fans in Hawaii 🌈💜

This is so exciting! My daughter is doing full time college her senior year of high school 3 days a week but staying at home. She didn’t want to go away. I can’t wait to follow along with the progress and how much fun your daughter will have!

What I’d suggest is a diaper genie for the bathroom works great when you are on your period. I’m even using one for my cats pretty litter. Trash bags also. Make it the best classes that everyone wants to take. Enjoy your 1st semester. Also if you need a language class take sign-language. It’s considered a 2nd language and so much fun. You are very blessed. 🥰

Always here watching hope Ariana got everything she needs for college and good luck and God bless you'll do great

Plastic totes for moving in, then use for storage, empties nest for easy storage. I think you will find you bought too much stuff. Have fun with your new adventure!!

Target is extremely expensive compared to Walmart, dollar tree, ross and amazon. I'm actually shocked y'all love ross so much but didn't go there 1st to see what all you got have gotten for cheaper before the target run.

Be careful with the toaster. Unless you have a kitchen in your specific room, they usually don’t allow anything other than a mini fridge and sometimes a microwave that is connected to the mini fridge. So you may not even be able to bring it. Also make sure the dish ware is microwaveable safe.

If you haven't tried the laundry detergent sheets theyvare the best for camping when you have to lug laundry. I think they'd be great for dorm life (and home life) a huge space saver too

Perfect timing! was just about to look for a video when the notification for this one popped up!!💗💗

I think the roaster / oven is a big nono because of the heating element ad possible causing fires. You may want to check the college dorm rules

Loved the Vlog

I think they may have forgotten the size of the dorm they checked out.... Check before taking the toaster ove as I think you'll be returning it. Haven't k own many that allow more than a microwave, sometimes fridge.

As a rising college sophomore I totally suggest/love the plastic shower caddy over the mesh. The plastic doesn’t get moldy (at least in my experience) and has been easier to clean

It's so much easier to turn up with just clothes and bedding for first 2 weeks then write a shopping list for when you go home for first weekend out. That way no wasted space or purchases. You wear the same 5-10 outfits for most of each season.

How exciting Ariana! I hope you enjoy your college!😊

with my antisocial personality i could never live in a dorm 🤣 big props to Ariana for just going for it! I really hope it works out well!

With Ariana being an athlete, she should use not just deodorant but a deodorant that's also an antiperspirant. And fully suggest Defense body wash as well ( its good for workout related problems ). Also it makes no sense to pack up her room like she's moving out if she is going to be only an hour and a half away. She'll be coming home on weekends to do laundry and also for the holidays. May as well leave her room / things as is.

I love this! I’m also going in as a college freshman and I’m doing the whole sage green boho thing as well!!

Because I’m living for this channel hey🥰🎉🇿🇦

Highly recommend leaving most of your things at home. You don't need all your clothes or shoes! I live in the free shirts they give out, comfy pants, and crew necks. You end up finding what you gravitate towards using and you can swap stuff out on a quick trip home. Also, def get a fridge with a separate freezer part, not just the tiny flap.

I didn't need half of that stuff! I went to Wright State and lived in a dorm that had a minny fridge, microwave, and a desk and bed for my roomate and I. It was just a room that had plenty of space or both of us. We all used common showers and a common bathroom. There were dorms that were like apartments that had a kitchen area and your own bathroom and multiple bedrooms, but I only stayed in those during the summer.

Sooo proud of Ariana for your decision to go to College. Way to go👏👏 Good luck & best wishes always. FYI ~ My son graduated from Rice University, Houston Texas and toasters were not allowed in their dorms. Only microwaves & refrigerator allowed. Hope you checked that out. My daughter is also a sophomore this year from Trinity University in San Antonio. They also doesn’t allow ovens & toasters. So please check it out. Every Universities are different… ❤️❤️❤️

Excited for you Ariana! Some colleges don’t allow toasters just a microwave and you’ll probably only have space on top of the mini fridge. My college considered a toaster, a hot plate and candles fire hazards. And maintenance fixes everything…they have to document it. Definitely take stuff in totes so they can also be used as storage. I only had one roommate and space was limited. As many said, since she’ll be close take clothes as needed. And I had my bedroom kept at home and went to college out of state. Nine times out of 10 you’ll end up buying paper plates, red Solo cups and plastic cutlery if you ever need them. I took dishes like you got and only ever used my mug for hot tea. I’m not sure what the computers are like in the library but I would get a USB drive in case you need it. And the thing I used the most was a mini voice recorder in my classes(your phone won’t work for it due to hours and voice recorders are meant to amplify voice on playback). I can’t tell you how many times I replayed lectures writing essays and studying for finals. Not every professor will record lectures to post online. Sorry I wrote a book.
