Moving into a dorm is always exciting – new hallmates, late nights, communal bathrooms, and a very small room to share with someone who may have a completely opposite schedule.
All of that campus closeness is part of the dorm fun – but it also means that germs get passed around fast.
Here are a few smart habits that actually fit dorm life and will help your readers feel their best:
- Wash your hands often: doorknobs, dining hall trays, and desks are touched by hundreds of students every day, so it’s important to wash more than you think you need to.
- Emphasize sleep: pulling an all-nighter feels like fun, but rest is when the body recharges.
- Keep your space aired out: crack a window when possible and wipe down surfaces weekly.
- Stay hydrated: dry dorm air can leave the nose and throat feeling parched.
- Xlear Nasal Spray uses saline plus xylitol to help you rinse away everyday irritants and keep your nasal passages clean and moisturized. It is small enough to keep in your backpack, your desk drawer, or your gym bag, so a quick refresh is always within reach.
- Don’t forget a confident smile: keep Spry gum or mints on hand for a bright smile between classes.
The school year is easier when feeling best.
