I need more space!

You’re in your most dreaded class, trying exasperatedly to be engrossed in the words that had been spoken monotonously through the lips of your teacher. No matter how hard you try, your mind seems to escape to it’s own wonderland, visualising a future without the constant nagging of your teachers, parents, grandparents; one without curfews, the constant freedom to whatever and whenever to your own will.

One day it all comes true. Only, it is far from what it seems. Your dorm is a crammed mess, with dirty laundry lurking in every corner and speckles of dust concealing the cupboards. The thought of responsibility had never occurred to you until you catch sight of the condition of your room. This is when reality hits you – it’s time to clean and reorganise.

Now, this may seem like a back-aching and daunting task, but it’s worth it. Plus, it gets you in touch with your innovative side where you are able to use the bits and pieces that had been loitering in your room to do so. Might as well make use of the things that you are not willing or bothered to throw!

It gets really frustrating when you’re born a shopaholic and you do not own the luxurious walk-in closet that you’ve always dreamt of. Let’s face it – in a dorm room, you’ll never be able to have rows of individual shoe racks and colour coded garments that are hung exactly five millimetres apart from each other.

So to save closet space...

#1 Soda can it!

Ever had soda can tabs that you’re, for some weird unknown reason, unwilling to throw? Awkward as it is if you don’t actually have them, here is a heads up – start collecting them! (Now, this is not to encourage you to drink as many canned drinks as possible) These soda tabs will enable you to create closet space so you’ll be able to hang as many layers of garments as possible. Simply hook the hangers through the holes of the soda tabs and voila! More closet space!

#2 Use the Alternatives - Chains and S-hooks!

Same deal as the soda can tabs, hook your hangers through the loops, there you have it – vertical space!

Don’t deny it, we all hate tangled cables! No matter how long or short or what the purpose of these cables are, they can single handedly ruin lives. 

So to organize cables....

#1 Clip them to the edges!

Start getting hold of binder clips and simply clip them to the edges of your desk. This way, cables will not tangle nor cross paths with each other!

#2 Store your cables in toilet paper tubes!

You can finally make use of those good-for-nothing toilet paper tubes and turn them into useful and efficient storage spaces. This method goes for the bulkier cables that are not often needed. Simply put different cables in different paper tubes and organise them in the most suited way!

Study desks are not even remotely equivalent to large meeting tables that are able to withstand important people to discuss important issues that will determine the lives of citizens.

So to organise your miniature desks...

#1 Chair Pockets!

Try saving up for these dandy little things known as *drumroll* Chair Pockets! These help create extra space for any supplies that threaten to roll down or fall of the edge of your desks. Simply slip them to the back of your chairs and you’ll earn yourself more study and workspace!

#2 Your junks!

Fill the empty space underneath your bed with all the unnecessary freebies or bits and pieces of junk that you intend on keeping but do not intend on using. Let’s be honest here, uni students love freebies, no matter what it is or how relevant it is to our lives. But remember to clean that area once in a while if you still have the fear of coming face to face with monsters underneath your bed.
