I got off the plane at LAX with a dream and my hoodie, excited to study in the US after 18 years in Europe. Coming from across the world, I needed to get all my dorm essentials that day. To my shock, dorms here are practically empty.

Enter Target, where I faced my first problem: no sheets for my Twin XL bed. After hours of sifting through low-quality junk and another hour in line, I finally reached the cashier. What happened next felt like a financial mugging.

Getting to my dorm was like a scene from The Hunger Games, dodging piles of stuff from other students moving in. Let's just say my first day in LA didn't go as expected.

That’s why I decided to make it easier for others, so they can focus on meeting people instead of battling inefficient, expensive stores that don’t even stock the right bed sheets.
