Promising review: "Perfect small tray that looks pretty anywhere. Sturdy plastic with bright colors in the Rifle Paper print. I have one on my desk to hold my colored pens/markers.

A Vicks warm mist humidifier because face it: You can't control *every* part of college, but you can make certain you're not dried out like a sponge in the desert when you come back to your room. Plus, it can help relieve allergy and cold symptoms if you catch the ick like five minutes after you step on campus. Promising reviews: "I bought this to keep my extremely dry dorm room (below 16% humidity). It does a great job; it can push it up to 50% and beyond if needed. The tank can last a full day with constant running which is nice. After a couple of weeks, the output does decrease noticeably. This is to be expected, however, as the directions say to clean it every week or two. Simply soaking it in vinegar and wiping it down will return it to its previous efficiency. The steam also helps to heat the room. Recommended." —Greg Michaels"Works very well in my dorm room, feel the difference in one hour." —BigRay20Get it from Amazon for $42.99.

The solar charge does wear off overnight, but recharges daily. I've had these up throughout the spring, summer, and fall with no problems." —Always ShoppingPrice: $20 A tufted shower curtain if your bathroom could use the quickest (and most effective!) of upgrades.
