Dorm Room Organization For Food Allergies

July 6, 2015 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 80 Comments

Even though it’s still summer, the excitement and anxieties about going away to school are never far from the back of our minds. Especially if you’re a new incoming college freshman, but let’s face it, those feelings hit all of us no matter what year we’re in. But I do know, those feeling hit the most with students who have food allergies, restrictions, and special diets, like Celiac Disease, due to their health. I personally know how scary it can be to be thrown into the “unknown” with the added responsibilities or dealing with Celiac Disease and food allergies. I’ve already outlined my 6 steps to a safe college experience and today I have some extra advice to share.

Organization! One of my favorite things and something crucial to have good skills and a plan in when you have food allergies or autoimmune disease. Not only should your college food allergy plan include organization, but of course you want to do so in style. Every other college student will be picking out fun things to make their dorm room fun, relaxing, and feel a little more like home. There is nothing worse than being stuck in a tiny room all year, with your stress of food allergies, and nothing to brighten the mood and piles of supplies/food in sad boxes. I’ve partnered with Pottery Barn to share my ideas with how to organize your food allergy life when you go away, safe, and in style!

Dorm Room Organization For Food Allergies | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 @pbteen #sponsored

1. Mix ‘N’ Match Storage Bins – Storage bins are a must! You can easily organize your boxes of snacks, cereals, bags or grains, beans, cans, etc., right in the bins. You can easily move them around, as they have handles, and like me, lug them down to the kitchen with supplies to possibly make some pancakes ๐Ÿ˜‰ I love open bins like these since you can see what inside and have different height supplies in them. I’d put my essential products in these types of bins which can be stored right on a shelf out in the open for easy access. You should also dedicate a bin or two to your cleaning supplies. Think Lysol, sanitizing wipes, etc. These need to be used constantly to avoid cross contamination in your dorm room!

2. See-Thru Underbed Organizers – I think have underbed storage was one of the most important things I had in my room. Not only can you store extra clothes and sheets like a normal student, but you can store bulk and extra food items, pots, pans, and bulkier appliances that you don’t need everyday. I brought down a ton of “extras” with me and a ton of cooking supplies (like my waffle maker), but I didn’t need them all the time and sometimes not for months. I loved being able to store extra bottles, cans, boxes, etc. that I had stocked up on, away and out of sight, but still giving me the peace of mind that I would never have an emergency and run out of something I would need. Before you move-in, don’t be scared to bring “too much”. Have a surplus of your allergy-free essentials and any small appliances you think you’d like to have and simply store them under the bed! Plus, these have a see-thru cover so you know what you have and where everything is when you do actually need it!

3. Ready-To-Roll Storage Cart – A movable cart with storage is great to the little things! Think medications and more personal items that are small and you’d like to keep out of sight. If you’re like me though, you might think of storing small food stuffs like spices in there. Another great option would be storing your own silverware, bowls, cups,ย and plates. This way no crumbs or contamination can get on these items but you still have easy access to them!

4. Dry-Erase Calendar Decal – Not only do you need organization for your material belongings, but you also should have a place to write things down! You can keep all your events and important notes all on one big calendar that can easily be changed. Reminders for appointments, tests, events. But most importantly for your food allergy needs, a wonderful place to write down a meal plan if you use one! you can also use the side space as a grocery list for things you need next time you go to the store or need to place an online order. Having this calendar will make things a lot easier with planning safe meals and keeping yourself stocked with everything you need when your have a packed schedule already and don’t want to forget a thing!

5. Supercool Fridge – I was lucky enough to have a full fridge and small freezer in my room, but not every college dorm (especially for freshman) include one. I was also given the option of getting an extra small fridge like this if I found myself needing more space for all the food I had to have on hand. If you are provided a small fridge, I would ask to see if you could be provided another one or are allowed to bring your own extra one. When you have food allergies, the perishable groceries you need on hand are going to be a lot more than the typical college student. You also don’t want to take over the whole fridge so your other roommates(s) don’t have space for their stuff. Having a little extra fridge space will really come in handy. It can also give you peace of mind that your roommate didn’t accidental cross-contaminate you peanut butter with gluten (as an example!)

6. Supercool Fridge Cart – If you have an extra fridge, why not include some extra storage while you’re at it! I wish I had this last year in my dorm! I think this would be a wonderful space to store what would typically be counter-top produce if you had a kitchen. Think potatoes, squash, lemons, onions, plantains, bananas, avocados, that sort of thing. I stored my many potatoes and the like reusable Whole Foods bag that I got at one of the service fairs on campus (haha!). But this is also a great place to store pans, baking sheets, foil, plastic wrap, plastic baggies, etc.

Organization while still having options for style, color, and fun is what everyone wants. With food allergies, autoimmune disease, and special diets, we learn to appreciate that even more. There’s so many ways you can customize your space to fit your needs and preferences. Pottery Barn has some wonderful options, as you can see from the ones I picked here, but also a ton of other options for storage and of course everything else you need to style your dorm room! So even though thinking about going back to school may not be the most “fun in the sun”, it always pays off to have a head start and start planning! (You’ll thank me later). The better storage you have, the better organization, the easier your allergy-free transition will be! Less stress and more fun!

So tell me:

+ Did you have a messy dorm room or were you super organized and clean? Very clean! I didn’t do much decorating at all! Our common room actually went unused.

+ Did you bulk buy and stock up on staples or did you always find yourself running out of important things? My roommates loved me. My dad was able to send hundreds (I mean hundreds) of plastic forks, spoons, knives, paper plates, garbage bags, and toilet paper the entire year. We never ran out!

My New Home

August 26, 2014 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 57 Comments

So Friday night was really hard. The whole day was. We went to a few stores for last minutes things and some essential groceries for me to bring down with me. Then we just packed all day until my dad came home and could help us get all the boxes, bags, and suitcases into the rental truck. (That was not fun…). After a night of crying, I finally went to bed around 10:30ish and woke-up at 2:20am to throw some clothes on, but a few last minute things in the car and then get ready to head out on the road. I was so tired and in such a daze. I took one last picture of my cozy perfect room and said good-bye.

Bedroom

I tried to sleep off and on in the car, but that is always rough. What wasn’t rough was cold car buckwheat zucchini pancakes ๐Ÿ˜‰ I also got a medium hot REGULAR coffee at a DD rest stop. I wanted that buzz from the caffeine to maybe put me in a better mood on that dreary sad day. It didn’t work like it did that first time I can caffeinated coffee though…bummer.

Cold Car Pancakes

Eventually we got to my campus and the unloading began. Our truck (we rented a Tahoe) really wasn’t even that big so we had trouble finding room for everything, but somehow we got that thing packed to the brim. My one roommate is away on a trip for one of her programs, and my other two roommates weren’t there yet when I arrived. This gave us some time to take over the common room while we slowly painfully started unpacking and organizing everything into my mini room. We took a break about half way though to get back in the car and find the Target, Best Buy, and then a grocery store to pick up some cold things like my almond milk! O, my mom and I got Sweetgreen for lunch ๐Ÿ˜‰ Win! I can a floor meeting at 5:30 so we had to rush back and finish a few things. I didn’t want my family to leave. It was horrible. My heart was ripped out.

My mom took the obligatory dorm-move-in photo and then my one roommate took a photo of my mom and me together before they left.

Mom and Me

Yea, that was hard…very, very hard. But there was no time to wallow. My two roommates and I headed down to our meeting and then out to find the buses that would be taking all the freshman at GW to the Mount Vernon Estate (after hours). Well this was a crappy first night experience and was so unorganized. There weren’t enough buses to take us on the 30 minute drive and my one roommate got stuck back at campus until the even was almost over. (They didn’t even have enough boxed dinners to give everyone. Wasn’t a problem for me since I ate before, but it was bad.). The event was so boring and no one wanted to be there. Some professor droned on and on about George Washington for at least 30 minutes in front of a field and 2000+ college freshman on their first night. Then we were supposed to go around the estate and find facts be listing to the actors in the different buildings. They then tried to provide “dessert” at the end of this affair. Their idea was to have like 5 tables with random plates of cookies and brownies. When they said go, it was like a mob from hell. Picture 2000+ college kids rushing at these 5 little tables and attacking the cookies. (I’m surprised no one got trampled!) It was a rough night and we didn’t’ get back until 12:30am. All I know is I crashed. I had been up for almost 24 hours.

I can’t connect my laptop to the wireless network, so on Saturday morning I headed into the city (by myself) to the normal campus to get some IT guys to fix it. The connection worked when they did it there, but not at my dorm. So they gave me an ethernet cable (thank god!). Otherwise…blogging and school work would be rather difficult. I’ll tell you all about my classes later in the week! For now, I will leave you with some more dorm room pictures after a little more unpacking. I am still not done and still moving things around, but can get the idea!My Dorm Room

Ending with the bathroom! See you all later! I will probably just be back with the Finisher on Friday plus an update on how my first week of classes went! XOXO O man, I almost forgot. The whole dorm doesn’t have cable! There is something wrong with it right now, so my TV I brought isn’t actually working at the moment…sad stuff!

So tell me:

+ What was your Freshman dorm like? How many roommates did you have?

+ Did your school have any planned welcome events? This whole week is welcome week for us. We did a “Target-Take-Over” on Sunday night, other various events we can attend, my school (The Elliott School) is having a pizza party tonight (I am going for the free shirt!), and things like the Organization and Club fair this weekend.
