It’s that time of year again, as school starts back up and students try to pack as much as humanly possible into a tiny 10′ x 10′ space–which they have to share with one other person, of course.
My days in the dorm bring back fond memories. It’s the only time in life where you can have everything you need within 5′ of you, including the TV, computer, fridge, microwave, bathroom, etc.
Of course, to manage this, you have to be very resourceful. For instance, you’ll need a television that doesn’t take up much space, which is why today we’re featuring the Insignia 22″ Class 720p Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HDTV. With a price of only $300 at Best Buy, that’s 25% off the msrp, and includes a strong 4.4 star rating after 5 reviews. With PC inputs, this could in fact double as a monitor if you were really squeezed on money and/or space.
Next up on the dorm room must-have list is the Staples Battery Operated SlimLine Pencil Sharpener. This makes the list not just because you’ll need a pencil sharpener (I’m assuming schools still use Scantrons and number 2 pencils, but I’ll have to admit, it’s been awhile for me), but because this pencil sharpener comes in free after rebate. Just pay $10 and then send in the Stales easy $10 mail-in rebate.
The third item on our list comes in as one of those essential items as you look to squeeze in study time wherever possible. It’s the Antec Dual-Fan Laptop Cooler at $13, or 68% off the msrp of $40. This can be perfect for those situations where you need a laptop while on the move, whether it’s in class or enjoying the outdoors while getting some work done.
Have a great week.
