Decorating Tips!

I've always loved taking time to decorate my dorm: whether it's my many Beatles posters, finding interesting ways to sort my scarves, or putting up copious photos of all the people I love.

I am so messy when it comes to my jewelry! I can never keep my necklaces neat, or my earrings in order. My friend gave me an amazing idea though - and it works! I love how it adds some bling to my walls.













I really love doing this with my scarves as well.










Both of these are really easy to do: all you need are some thumbtacks, and a blank wall! Make sure that this is okay with your parents though. I don't want to be responsible for any holes in your walls that they don't want. Stick the thumbtacks in and hang your scarves, hats, necklaces! It's so practical AND super cute.

A tidy dorm, a tidy mind...

The key: Unpack!

I am not the biggest fan of packing/unpacking but it's so important to make your dorm your own space. I always like having a couple of hours on my first day back to really make my dorm my own again. Make sure to take the time to organize your clothes and put away those toiletries. I also love decorating my room. There will be a post to come on decorations (I tend to go a little crazy).

Whether you are hanging out with friends, studying for a midterm, or just unwinding - it's so much nicer to do when your room doesn't look like this:
