Back To School: Dorm Room 101

Summer is a time of rebirth. Homes are abandoned for strolls through the park, beaches crowd, party’s boom, drunken binges rage, and people flaunt their unbecoming sunburns with pride. But the inevitable end approaches, and the start of the school year keeps getting closer. To some, the word “school” is as frightening as a dry frat house. To others, the word means excitement and memories that last a lifetime. Whether you’re happy to be going, or cowering in fear, here is the most essential list of back to school products to transform your dorm into the place to be!

The dorm room is more than just where you sleep – it’s a symbol of your life in college, an extension of your personality. When your schedule is tighter than the girls in the Buns of Steel video, you won’t have much time to cook for yourself. That’s not a problem though – in college, you learn to start your day with a cup of coffee and a delicious, filling piece of…toast (You were expecting something exciting?). Team International had college students in mind when they made the Breakfast Set Toaster/Coffee Maker Combo. It’s on sale so get it fast - otherwise you’ll have to buy the toaster and coffee maker individually, which wastes your precious time.

Not a toast person? No problem! Just get the coffee maker – caffeine is the most ingested drug in the world, for a very good reason: It’ll keep you alert and awake for lectures and studying. Plus, people will think you’re cool for brewing your own instead of always going to Starbuck’s. The ultra compact DELONGHI 4 Slice Toaster Oven . Lets you bake, broil, and even toast…all your brownie-baking needs are covered (for culinary class of course)! Finally, the essential, almighty microwave - No modern college student survives without one. Its powers range from the destruction of small creatures, to great lighting effects (when CDs are inserted), to making EZ-Mac - the importance of this product needs no explanation!

When late night hunger comes knocking on the door, punch it in the face (hard) with the awesome George Foreman Grills. The former heavyweight boxing champ claims it’ll knock the fat off whatever it is that you’re barbequing — so use it and you’ll avoid those Freshman 15. To compliment that steak you’ll be Foremanizing, you’re going to need some drinks and the best drinks are made in a blender! The Eight Speed Proctor Silex makes the perfect addition to any room (Margaritas, Daiquiris, iced coffee at the press of a button)!

After hosting a party to prove you have the best kitchen around, you’re going to need to do two things: Clean up and brush your teeth. Well with the Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner, clean up is fast and easy. Plus, you can suction your friends’ faces when they’re passed out on your bed! Finally, what’s more annoying then hearing your dentist’s voice in your head at 3 AM telling you, “Brush your teeth and make sure you use a circular motion!”? Well avoid this situation, keep your breath fresh for the ladies, and save your arm strength for when you impress everyone at the gym by simply getting the Braun Electronic Toothbrush and Plaque Remover.

Convenience, speed, and thriftiness are going to be key in surviving your college years. Why pay for a meal when you can whip something up in the comfort of your own dorm? Why pay five dollars for a drink that’s watered down when you can put as much alcohol as you want into a blender and come out with the same concoction? Why waste calories brushing your teeth when you could charge a toothbrush and have it do all the work? Problems that once were, are no more! Welcome to the future of the college dorm, J&R style!
