11 Beauty Essentials to Stock in Your Dorm Shower Caddy

Typically, sharing is caring. But when it comes to communal college showers, the cramped stalls and limited shelf space can make sharing a common area feel like a living nightmare. But it doesn't have to be that way. You just need a good shower caddy set up. Whether you're sudsing up before that 8:00 a.m. lecture or trying to wash off the stench of dining hall calzones, the last thing you should be stressing about is what to take with you into the dormitory showers. Seriously, that brain power could be used for real issues like finishing up that eight-page report you swore you could finish in two days or cramming a semester's worth of information in just eight hours.

Trying to balance academic deadlines with various social obligations is a lot, and unfortunately, when we're dealing with excessive stress and weighty external pressures, our self-care typically gets placed on the back burner. You know, right next to all those emails you swore you'd get to this week at the latest. But if curated correctly, your shower routine can actually serve as a useful reprieve to help you relax and reset. To help you make the most out of your brief (despite how it might feel at the moment) time on campus, here's everything you need to fill your shower caddy with expert precision. Whether you're a campus newbie or a seasoned vet, you're on the way to your freshest semester yet and CVS is here for it.
