It's that time of year again, time for cooler weather, bigger sweaters, and bonfires with friends. Fall is finally here (and the bugs are gone)! If you are stuck in a dorm this season, don't worry. Here are 12 ways to bring the best of the season inside, and make your dorm feel more like Fall.

1. Blankets

Fall is all about being warm and cozy, so add some nice fleece or knit blankets to your dorm and snuggle up!

2. Pillows

Don't stop at the blankets. Adding some fall themed accent pillows will add to the effect.

3. Lighting

Fall is much darker than Summer, so having lamps or hanging up string lights can be just the things to set the mood for Fall.

4. Ambiance

Whether it's soothing fall piano music, something calming like Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire," or something fun and upbeat like the "Monster Mash," music can bring the Fall right into your dorm room.

5. Pumpkins

Nothing says Fall quite like pumpkins. Whether you paint a small pumpkin gold, hang a pumpkin picture, or just place a pumpkin by the door, your dorm will feel more like fall.

6. A Fireplace

I think it's safe to say that your dorm doesn't have a fireplace, but that's okay! Just search for "fireplace" on YouTube and your laptop can bring to life the crackling of a fire.


7. Baking

Fall is known for its wonderful aromas. Bring them into your dorm by baking some yummy fall treats, like pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Mmmm!

8. Warm Colors

Browns, reds, oranges, even golds can add to the Fall feel in any dorm room.

9. DIY Fall Decor

Get yourself into the Fall spirit by making your own fall decor. Pinterest has plenty of ideas. Maybe a wreath to hang on your door?

10. Candles

Who could forget about candles? Let the rich fall scents fill your dorm! And if candles aren't allowed where you live, try some air fresheners, like Glade Plug-Ins. They'll do the trick.

11. Leaves, Leaves, Leaves

Fall and leaves go hand-in-hand, and they're so easy to work with! Just get some fake leaves from your local craft store and place them all around your room. On a nightstand, on the walls, or on your desk, it's totally up to you.

12. Fall Movies

Once you've got your dorm feeling just the way you want it, snuggle up in those blankets and munch on some Fall snacks while enjoying your favorite Fall movies. Maybe it's the latest horror movie or a classic Disney Halloween film.

Happy Fall Y'all!

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

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.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
