I’ve forced myself to do laundry once a week by limiting my underwear stash. ;) But since I do laundry while at work, it really doesn’t affect me to do it that often. When I had to do it at the laundry mat, I tried to stretch it out to three weeks as often as possible. :p

@Red: Not using a bathrobe is just personal preference for me. I have actually never owned one and got by just fine. If I recall, I just changed into comfy pants and a loose t-shirt in transit from the bathroom to my room.

I still get by on doing laundry about every two weeks (sometimes three) so perhaps I just have a whole lot of clothes in general!

Desk lamps and power strips – crucial! I bought a desk lamp that was used all the time since I had a roommate who liked to go to bed early (whereas I am a night owl). Without my power strip, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my laptop, printer and lamp on my desk at the same time. (Not to mention cell phone charger!)

I would add “bathrobe” to the list of bathroom supplies. Our dorm floor was all girls, but girls often had their boyfriends over at all hours of the day. It’s a little weird walking down a hallway in a towel when there are strangers everywhere. I had a big pink bathrobe that I wore to and from the shower.

One tip I read years ago that was crucial when I lived in the dorm was to stock up on underwear and socks. I rarely found time to do laundry and having extra undergarments meant I could go longer without washing clothes. Am I the only person who wore jeans no less than four times before washing them? ;) Great tips, Leslie!
