Moving into a dorm room [1] can be a serious struggle, especially when you want your tiny space to be cute, comfy, and organised. On top of acquiring the dorm room essentials [2] (comforter, lamp, shower caddy, mini fridge, etc.), you have to figure out how to make it all fit, without sacrificing your dream dorm room aesthetic.
For starters, that means organising your impressive food and snack supply so that you maximise the limited space [3] you do have and don't attract any unwelcome visitors.
