<p>Lol I hadn’t put microwaveable food b/c some schools don’t allow microwaves, but good! I totally forgot contact lens stuff, weird since I have them lol</p>

Microwave (coordinate with roommate)
Clothes Hangers
Pillows

Laptop lock (if you’ll need one)

Hooks that stick to the wall, not screw in (because you can’t leave holes)
