Whether your making a sandwich or reheating some leftovers, you will need a plate to both heat and eat it on. These plates are not overwhelmingly large, so you can store them conveniently above your microwave or wherever you please. By having plates in your room, you can go back to your room and not worry about making a mess. Over the course of the year, you're going to lose many things with plates being one of them. Whether you leave it in a friends room or crack one, it's always good to have extras!
