Why Include Disposable Silverware on Your Dorm List: A Senior’s Advice

As a college senior, I’ve learned disposable silverware is essential for dorm living. Your dorm list should include a pack of plastic utensils because washing dishes in bathroom sinks gets old fast, and dining hall silverware shouldn’t leave the cafeteria. They’re perfect for late-night study snacks, impromptu ramen feasts, and those times when every real fork in your room is dirty. While reusable utensils are better for the environment, keeping disposables as backup has saved me countless times during finals week.
