That evening, and sometimes the day after, swing by the dorms. Seniors dump all sorts of amazing stuff in amazing condition in their haste to leave and sudden lack of storage.

Do yourself a favor and pack some Easy Mac or some Beefaroni to heat up. If your dorm won’t allow it, bring one anyway, they won’t care. Just make sure you know how to nuke popcorn without setting off the fire alarms. I recommend searching eBay! for a local pickup as described in a earlier post.
