I don't know about you, but I am undoubtedly an artistic person! Glitter is my favorite color, and no craft project is too ambitious for me. I'm constantly looking at decorations in stores and thinking "I could do that!" My crafting hobby (obsession) only increased when I decided to go all out in decorating my dorm room this year! Here are some cute DIY projects that you will definitely see in my dorm room come fall!

1. Honeycomb Shelves

These professional-looking shelves are actually made with three mundane items: tacky glue, popsicle sticks, and wood stain! You could even paint them if you prefer more of a vibrant look. They're super lightweight, but strong, so they'll be able to support all of your favorite knick knacks.

2. Paint Sample Banner

This tutorial is specifically for a Valentine's day theme, but it could be adapted to fit the color scheme of any room! When you consider all of the different colors and shapes you could use, the possibilities are endless.

3. The Perfect Pencil Holder

It's no secret that mason jars are having a moment in the crafting world. This is a an easy and cheap craft that is endlessly useful! Mason jars not only look rustically cute, but they can also help organize your pencils, pens, makeup brushes, you name it!

4. Hanging Jewelry Organizer

This is my personal favorite when it comes to decoration ideas! It's a really unique and versatile idea that will keep my necklaces from becoming a tangled glob and chains in my jewelry box. If you aren't much of a jewelry person, you could replace the knobs with hooks and use them for your keys!

5. Old Picture Frame Makeover

You wouldn't believe how easy it is to get your hands on an old picture frame! If you don't have any at home, you can always hit up yard sales or thrift stores for your perfect frame. This is a nice way to bring a personal touch to any room.

6. Monogrammed String Art

This is a little more intense project for extreme crafters! It might be tedious and a little difficult, but the results are beautiful and unique. You could use your initials or any other shape you chose!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
