Obviously your dorm isn’t the place to bring a 20-piece dish set and your best silverware, but it doesn’t have to be difficult to have one or two sets of reusable plates and silverware that you can use whenever the late night pizza craving hits.

Yes, you can and should put full bottles of alcohol in your (preferably empty) trash or recycling bin. Sleep or alcohol: the Sophie's choice for college students. This trick is better for short-term stashing, since it gets in the way of your bed's actual purpose. If you have a lot of pillows on your bed, throw a bottle or two in a pillowcase and put all your other pillows in front of it.

Just remember to take the leftover drinks out before trying to get on a plane! You know that suitcase or duffle bag you used to travel during fall break? It probably won't be used again until Thanksgiving, so you might as well put alcohol in it.
