7 Cheap Decorations To Make Your Dorm Cute From Amazon

The best way to make friends at the beginning of college is to leave your door open and have the people in your hall walk by and notice how color coordinated your room is. Trust me on this. College is already expensive enough, so here are some stylish pieces of decor that won't break the bank.

1. Massive letters aka dominance asserters

Amazon

Having your initial hanging up on your wall not only asserts dominance but makes people KNOW that this is your room. Get one for yourself, and maybe even your roommate too! My roommate and I had these big 'ol letters hanging above our bed and no one mistook our room for anyone else's.

2. Pretty fairy lights aka ambiance

Amazon

Everyone loves string lights! Here are some inexpensive ones that'll be sure to brighten your day. Because dorms have harsh LED lighting, these lights add a nice ambiance and are a real mood changer. So, turn off those lights and turn on these pretty stringies!

3. Power quotes aka motivation boosters

Amazon

Stylish little framed pictures like this that have quotes on them not only make your room look nicer, but they honestly make you feel more powerful. Whether they be ironic or not, it's a good way to get your personality across to any visitors who may enter your lair.

4. Fuzzy rug aka your guest bed

Amazon

A cute rug! For only a few dollars! This stylish, shaggy rug will solve all your problems, and make everything 100% more cozy. Also, if you have guests spending the night, you can make them sleep on it! Plus grey matches everything.

5. Storage aka crap holders

Amazon

These floating skinny shelves can be hung with command strips and are a great way to keep clutter off your floor. You'll be astounded by the amount of crap you'll accumulate through out the year, so a nice way to display it is essential!

6. Pretty picture frame aka memory sharer

Amazon

Cute picture frames filled with flicks of you and your buddies! So everyone can see how popular you were in high school! But for real though, this frame in particular is super stylish and a nice shade of millennial pink. It'll make your desk feel more personalized and later on in your college career you'll probably end up switching the pictures out from that high school junior banquet pic to a new and improved picture of you and your sorority sisters.

7. Mug aka coffee vessel

Amazon

A nice mug sitting atop your desk or shelf doubles as a cute little figurine, and a useful object! The amounts of coffee you put down through out the year will amaze you. Oh by the way, you'll probably want to buy a Keurig.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
