1. Crafts. Seriously, crafts everywhere. These can range from canvases, collages, letters, or a variety of other things.

2. A tapestry. No matter how many of my friends' rooms I set foot in, there always seems to be a tapestry. Whether you go the traditional route of hanging it on the wall, or take a more modern approach and hang it from the ceiling, you need a tapestry. (Really though, go get one.)

3. Lights. Nothing says "home" quite like some twinkly lights. I always see these lights hung up around the room and I think it really adds to the overall vibe of your space.

4. Photos of you and your best friend from back home. This one might be a little bittersweet, but you'll want to be reminded of your old friends and familiar places. While you probably miss the people you grew up with and you might be feeling homesick, remember all the awesome people you've met at college and how many memories you've made. College is a time to meet new people, get out of your comfort zone, and try new things. It is absolutely okay to miss old friends and home, but don't let that impede your college journey or stop you from branching out.

5. Monogrammed everything. In this day and age we love monograms. I know I have lots of items that I've monogrammed and I see a lot of other girls do the same. Go ahead and put your monogram on the lampshade or desk chair if you want. This is a judgment free zone.

There you have it, girls. If you're like me, you probably already have these things. If not, however, they can really enhance your space and can be fun decorations to add.
