I like to hang things up.

Hello Friends!

I really love decorating. Since elementary school, I’ve been constantly changing and re-decorating my living space just for fun. For me, the college dorm was the ultimate opportunity to have some fun with decorations. With that in mind, here is some freshman dorm decorating advice:

1. THERE ARE NO RULES! Just kidding there are actually plenty of important rules because you probably don’t want to burn down buildings. But there are no rules in some capacities, like, many roommates try to color-coordinate and all that jazz, but I would argue that your room should be comfortable for you and reflect you.

2. Think about what you want your room to look like ahead of time. When you walk into your dorm, it’s going to be a glorified box. If you like the idea of minimalism, you’ll have an easy time putting your dorm together and that’s 100% awesome. I’m certainly not a minimalist, so I made/brought/received a bunch of things to hang up.

3. Remember that this is your home for a long time. Don’t be afraid to bring things that might seem useless to other people, but are helpful/inspirational to you. For example, I brought my record player to HC. It might seem cumbersome or impractical, but I love listening to my records and sharing them with friends.

That’s about all the advice I can give. Make your space comfortable for you, and have fun doing it. By the way, do you see my sign-off hanging on the wall?
