What should I definitely pack for my college dorm?

Hey everyone! As I'm preparing to head off to college, I'm starting to stress about what to pack for my dorm. What are the essentials I absolutely can’t forget? I've heard so many different opinions, and it’s hard to tell what’s actually necessary. I want to make sure I’m comfortable and have everything I need. What’s your go-to list for dorm packing? Any tips or must-haves that helped you settle in? Also, are there any items I might think I need but won’t fit in a small space? Thanks!
