2. Rolling Laundry Basket
Doing laundry in college is an all-day thing. Setting timers on your phone, going back and forth from your room to the laundry room, trying to make sure no one takes your clothes out of the machine – it’s a lot. At least make the journey smoother by getting yourself a rolling laundry basket.
