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!

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.
