<p>Another one - A arm mounted desk lamp. Something that has a high Range of Motion. </p>

<p>This way you arent blasting your roommate in the face if he/she is trying to sleep. Ive seen a fair share of roommate complaints and this has been the cause of one. Alarm clocks are another.</p>

<p>If you dont get up easily and let your alarm run for HOURS, try one of these.</p>

<p>Looks like im talking to myself here… hmm. Anyone else with ideas?</p>

<p>A sense of humor.</p>

24

<p>tool kit
first aid stuff
duct tape/zip ties (for all your kidnapping needs. or cable management)
random costume stuff (80s, schoolgirls, eurotrash parties etc)
UMBRELLA (make sure its a good strong one)
i second the coffee maker wholeheartedly
i got one of those over-the-door coat racks, it really came in handy</p>

25

<p>I got a shoerack that was on the back of my bedroom door. I liked that a lot. A coat hanger is a good idea too</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>that needs to be an admission criterion</p>

26

<p>Hangers. Lots of hangers</p>

27

<p>agreed. Get a lot of plastic ones and some wood ones. The drawers have a nasty way to snagging clothes near the top, so get the dual layer hangars for nice pants etc</p>

<p>re: first aid kit/cold remedies</p>

<p>Colds spread quickly … Pack in your favorite cold remedies and whatever lozenges you use for sore throats. Also, please consider bringing vitamins … Emergen-C packets … Airborne to boost your immune system and keep you in good shape during stressful stretches.</p>
