ITEM: Wet wipes!

FIND IT AT: Costco. (Nothing wrong with having strong inclinations toward polish sausages and purchasing items in bulk...)

GOOD FOR:
1. Wiping your furniture down from top to bottom upon move-in, because let’s just say, if what happens in your dorm room this year is anything like what happened in most dorm rooms freshman year... well... let’s just say that you'd better wipe that shit down.

2. Annual fridge cleaning (what grows in the fridge, stays in the fridge... at least 'til you move out.)

3. Dorm party alcohol spills. My Thursday morning-afters were, more often than not, spent enjoying quality time with my favorite cleaning cloths of choice, wiping the tequila and beer off the sticky surface of my poor, abused laptop. And my Sociology reader. And the side of my bed. And the DVD player. You get the picture.
