Paper? I Hardly Knew Her!

So when you have your leftover pizza from the cafeteria, just chunk that plate in the trash and walk away. Easy as that.
Quench Your Thirst
Your day consists of waking up and walking to class everyday. Depending on the size of your campus, this could be a five minute walk or 25 minute walk up hill. Walking is still a physical exercise, especially when trekking across campus. Think about investing in a reusable water bottle when shopping for kitchen supplies for college. A good insulated water bottle with a lid is perfect to bring to class. And refilling it will save you money in the long run. You won’t have to keep purchasing water bottles.
Kitchen Supplies to Spice Up Your Life
The point of food is to give you energy. But why we love food is the flavors. And nothing adds better flavor than spices! You need your basics of salt and pepper. Cooking in your door room, you are very limited on your cooking equipment. You probably don’t have a four burner stovetop.
So unfortunately you’ll be eating a lot of instant noodles and Hot Pockets. Try other spices to add flavor like garlic and onion powder. These spices are kitchen supplies that will change your opinion on “dorm room” food.
