Back to School: Is Your Workstation Ready?

Have a student headed to college this fall? If so, you’ve likely seen that the internet is ablaze with Ava Phillippe’s “Off to College” collection on Amazon. 

The look-alike daughter of Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Phillipe is getting ready to start her sophomore year at UC Berkeley this upcoming semester. “Because the moving process at my university happens so quickly, I only had a few days to get moved in & settled…” Ava said in a release. We hear that Ava! While Federal Brace & the internet in general are in full support & agreement, we’ve noticed in particular that Ava’s (NOW college READY!) room at UC Berkeley is dorm appropriate, without screaming “freshman”!

Decorating a dorm room/college apartment isn’t an easy task - especially when it involves squeezing into a smaller space. Think stylish + functional meets tidy to make that (sometimes scary) transition into college living a bit smoother.

Quick tip shopping MUSTS for a college bound student & dorm room/college apartment decor: 

• Do indulge in nice-ish basics. 
• Do incorporate dorm room/college apartment specific items (shower caddy, foam mattress topper, under-bed storage containers, hanging closet organizer, etc.).
• Do NOT buy the entire dorm section at your local home goods store of choice. Do NOT feel pressured to make your space look like it’s straight out of a catalog.

Is your college workstation ready? Now is the time to start checking essential items off your back to school list. Having a dedicated & efficient workspace in the dorm room/college apartment is crucial to student success. Optimize study space with a stable floating desk that allows for organization & keeps unruly cables away from feet, homework, & the desk chair. The Federal Brace Wall Mounted Desk Bracket is the perfect solution for wall mounting a work surface as it incorporates ports that allow for streamlined computer cable management.
