Change the colors to match the color scheme of your room or even your school colors! Very easy to put together and very inexpensive.

2. DIY Pencil Cup

You don't want to have your pencils and pens all thrown in your desk. Make your very own pencil cup to have access to your supplies on your desk.

3. DIY Paint Chip Calendar

Make your own erasable calendar so you an keep track of dates! You don't have to give up your style for practicality.

4. DIY Pom-Pom Rug

5. DIY Decorative Mason Jars

9. DIY State Wall Art

Take a little piece of home with you while you are away at college. I have seen many variations of this piece of art so get as creative as you want to be!

10. DIY Printer Shelf

Keep your desk space organized by creating this shelf to hold your paper and extra ink.

11. DIY Clipboard Organizer

Why use a plain cork board when you can use a one of a kind clipboard organizer? Get different clipboards from the dollar store and decorate them in any way. Spray paint, monogram, stickers, washi tape, whatever! Next, use strips of velcro to attach the clipboards to your wall to avoid any costly fines that come with damaging a dorm room!

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
