freshman year dorm tour ⭐

[Music] welcome to my dorm room my dorm room is a plaza triple with a private bathroom but since covid is happening i'm just living in this big old triple room by myself anyways that aside let's get started with the tour first i got to take off my bourbon stocks now that's a little bit nasty i'm not wearing shoes inside the house even though this is not a house by the way today's video is sponsored by shocktack which is a chrome extension and mobile app that makes sure you never miss out on price drops and coupon codes when you're shopping online also at the end of this video i'll be going over some details about their five thousand dollar giveaway which may be helpful to you if you've been in need of some spare cash to deck out your dorm room or just like survive the coveted times anyways let's get started by first going over a bit more about shop tagger shop tagger is an app and chrome extension that i found super useful when doing my dorm room shopping i started putting together my list way before i even knew where i was going to college so i found shop tagger really helpful in keeping track of all of my items in one place and monitoring them for price drops so i didn't have to keep checking the websites for sales so if you're going to be dorm room shopping or you want to keep an eye out and get notified about black friday and cyber monday sales might i recommend checking out shop tagger the way it works is you can save an item from a variety of retail sites onto your list and then you'll receive an email or push notification whenever there's a price change and you can organize your saved items into a list for each category additionally if you're shopping online the shop tagger chrome extension will automatically scan the web for coupon codes and apply them to your order and see which combination saves you the most money they've also launched a brand new cashback feature so you can get a certain percentage of your purchase back via paypal on qualifying websites if this sounds interesting to you check out the link in the description below to download shop tagger and you can get it on both your computer and your phone to help maximize your savings [Music] directly left of the door over here we have my dining hall corner right now all of the ucla dining halls are take out so all i do is pick up my food from the dining hall and then eat here in my room which has attracted quite a few ants unfortunately but my solution that i found is just throw away my food waste right after i'm done with it instead of putting it in my trash can in my room and then letting it fester there and attract pests for a week seems kind of obvious but welcome to not knowing how to be an adult anyways let me show you around this first desk over here we've got my plant named evie and this pumpkin that i got for free on campus i try to keep this surface as clean as possible using the cleaning supplies that i have over here then i also have the vitamins and supplements that i take mostly just the iron one i kind of just forget that the rest of these exist sometimes next let's move on to the food related items starting with my brita filter pitcher and my little cup of water i have many mugs as you can see up here and that i'll show you in this drawer but i recently did my dishes so most of them are not yet out and about and cluttering my room further evidence of having done my dishes recently here is where i'm leaving a bunch of stuff out to dry this next shelf is for most of my everyday going outside essentials so starting on this side we have a variety of face masks then we have you know more normal non-covered related going out essentials like my wallet my earbuds my keys pepper spray my phone and this box of tissues isn't really like a going outside kind of thing but there it is this top drawer is the only one that's filled and in here i just have all of my food stuff i'm in a meal plan that gives me 14 meals a week so i usually just make my own breakfast right now my breakfast of choice has been this trader joe's instant oatmeal and i also have just caffeine mostly tea i try not to get too much coffee because i don't want to be dependent on caffeine yet i should probably restock my snacks at some point we'll see if i can muster the motivation to walk like two miles up and down hill for that now speaking of food stuff you might be wondering where the heck is your microwave and refrigerator i know that's just been weighing on everyone's minds this whole time and to that let me show you my bathroom so yes you may be wondering why the heck do you have your fridge and microwave in the bathroom and to that i say one this is a rented micro fridge unit that contains both the microwave and the fridge so i have to have it here together and secondly it's really freaking loud right now it's being nice and quiet i think it wants to act nice for the video but at night it often like activates like it's cleaning or like circulating the fluids that keep it cold mode so an effective solution i found to reduce the amount of noise bothers me at night is to just have it in here and then close the door to muffle the sound this setup has many cons for example it feels kind of gross to be looking at the place that you store and cook your food while you poop and or pee and i have a really janky extension cord set up but it's better than getting no sleep anyways while we're here in my fancy-schmancy private bathroom let me show you around a bit on this side we have the shower and directly next to it facing my fridge unfortunately is the toilet here is where i keep all of my personal care liquids up top we have all of my skin care products my toothbrush toothpaste and some soap along with this saline wound wash even though i've had my ears pierced for like a year at this point um one of them i accidentally ripped out of the back and there is no longer a piercing hole there because i'm supposed to let it heal for a year and the other one keeps getting infected for some reason so once again i'm asking for your life advice why the frick is this happening and how do i stop it and then we have a variety of cabinets and drawers and these i have actually managed to fill up somehow this first one has some contacts related stuff and reusable cotton rounds the next one is for a variety of like beauty related things so we have my nail polish and some extra lip balm and moisturizer and deodorant the next one down is like first aid supplies and the one on the bottom is hair styling products most of which i have no idea how to use but i'm gonna learn how to do that eventually and lastly this larger cabinet has some period products and like refills so extra hand sanitizer and soap and floss and all those other things that i consume regularly not eat consume like like go through the product consume i think you know what i meant over here we've got my bed well actually we have two different beds this one up here is the one that i actually sleep on and this is like a couch bed if you watched my move-in video you might have seen that at first i decided that i wanted to sleep on this one because it was the only one i could functionally get fitted sheets onto but since then i've realized that one i spend way too much time like face planting on this bottom bunk for it to be feasible for me to sleep on it because doing non-sleep related things in your bed like studying or watching tick tock which are the two main things i do on this bottom bunk are not very good for your ability to fall asleep on that bed because it kind of conditions your brain to be active and awake in this location so that was kind of a trap i fell into because this bed is like smack dab in the center right next to the desk where i study it's just so easy to sit here and do things instead of only use it for sleeping however i didn't really end up having that problem with this top bunk since it is kind of out of the way i have to climb a ladder to get up there it kind of disincentivizes me from just flopping there and watching tick tocks or procrastinating or doing work i think that was a very long-winded explanation but there also isn't very much going on around here like i have a sheet on a mattress i have my two stuffed animals sharkeel o'neill and bivy and i have a throw blanket and some extra pillows so not exactly revolutionary content and it's kind of the same story on the top bunk not exactly anything revolutionary going on i just have my pillows and comforter and i sleep now we've gone through the sections that correspond to most of life's necessities like eating and sleeping and here we have arrived at the third necessity which is studying directly next to my bed we have my desk where i do all of my studying and zoom classes and other work just it is productivity central this desk also has one of those shelves that you've seen on top of the other two desks in this room but i took it off and put it to the side so that i get as much window surface area as possible as much sunlight access as i can on the top layer i have all of my school supplies including a bunch of notebooks my planner some pens and pencils and my vertical storage shelf which i use for paper and important documents and my ipad the shelf directly below that has all of my makeup crammed in the back corner or all of my eyeshadow palettes which really isn't a great solution for storage and then on the bottom shelf we have this binder that contains my calculus textbook because even though i paid 100 freaking dollars they couldn't be bothered to bind the pages together they just gave me a bunch of pages and they were like figure it out so i guess i figured it out with this binder but oh boy that feels like a ripoff to me and then the shelves on this desk the first one contains some extra school supplies that i just don't use as often like tapes and colorful pens and refill items the second drawer has paper products like envelopes and index cards and the last one is what i call my storage section it's where i have storage for all of my storage items like bags laptop sleeves and little cardboard trays i don't really have much decor in this room but this one thing i have that really sparks joy is this little tiny minecraft painting that i did over the summer oops and here on the opposite side of my bed we have my dresser on top here i have a wax melter since we're not allowed to have candles in here for fire hazard safety reasons i use this to safely melt these little wax nuts that i got from an etsy business and it helps make my room smell less like dorm room air conditioning we've also got my plant named levy and then next to it we've got this little pumpkin that i got from trader joe's but i think it's giving me a sign that halloween spooky season is over and pumpkins need to go in the compost on the other side here we just have all of my accessories the only ones i really wear ever are these two hair clips but i also theoretically own jewelry that's in that pink box we've also got this slightly disgusting bowl that i used to eat oatmeal this morning and i just haven't washed my dishes yet um so we're going to pretend this isn't here this top drawer is the one that i use the most often since it contains my underwear and socks and my short sleeves short pants types of items and then the one below that is just for things that are a little bit warmer so long pants leggings sweaters jackets and a couple of dresses [Music] this is my creative corner so over here on the table surface itself i have the in progress mess of this diy miniature greenhouse that i've been making if you watched my first week of college vlog you saw that i made a ton of progress during the first week of the quarter but now that schoolwork is really kicking in midterm season seems to span from about the third week to the seventh week of the ten week quarter i haven't really had time to work on these creative projects which kind of bums me out anyways up here we've got my book study with me which is all about bullet journaling for students if that interests you perhaps you might want to check that out it's available on amazon and it's linked in the description as always that's enough self promo for today on the next shelf down we've got my exercise resistance bands that i use for indoor at-home workouts and my camera equipment then in this first drawer we've got some additional electronics equipment like microphones and camera batteries and cables and then the second drawer includes some art supplies like my acrylic paints and paint brushes and my instax camera which really doesn't go in here it goes with my camera equipment then in this bunk up here above the creativity corner is just a bunch of random stuff that i brought with me that i don't really use like my google home which cannot connect itself to the ucla wi-fi for some reason and some extra sheets the last thing i have to show you all which completes our circle around all the way back to the door is this closet with all of my cleaning supplies on the doorknob here i just store my backpacks and inside is where the real magic happens so first up top we have cleaning supplies as i mentioned this includes some tide pods swiffer sweeper refills these wool dryer bowl trash bags and up here are just some extra towels and sheets and then below that you guessed it more cleaning supplies so we've got my swiffer sweeper and this little vacuum um along with this clothes drying rack that's folded up real nicely and my laundry hamper and then lastly in the back here we've got a yoga mat which just like my resistance bands i use for indoor at home exercise and that
