Buy a dehumidifier. Seriously. Doesn't even have to be an expensive one. This little guy changed my life last summer.

My room is humid as hell, crowded, and smells like puke. And to think I'm paying like $700 a month for this.

cool your room as rapidly as possible, create fog, leave your door cracked open so a spooky fog rolls out of your room.

If for some reason you can't get a Dehumidifier, I would recommend silica, pipe tobacco, or even uncooked rice. You simply purchase and leave out, like a type a paprika. Of course these are very bummy techniques and don't come close to an actual dehumidifier, but it will draw the moister of the room into itself and be better than doing nothing at all.
