Ideas for How to Spruce Up Your Bathroom

It's a great time of year to add some touches to your bathroom to make it look extra special. Bathrooms are small spaces that we can spend a lot of time in, and having a few extra touches can make the bathrooms more functional and more pleasant to be in. If you're not sure where to start, try these first few ideas.

Built-In Storage

If you have a spare wall or some extra space beside your feet, adding some built-in storage is the perfect way to hide all of those extras that you need in the bathroom, including your blowdryer, hair products, extra toilet paper, and overflow bath towels. When you have built-in storage, the entire room will look more tidy and pleasant to be in.

Bathroom Mirrors

Even if you have a mirror above the sink doesn't mean that it's the only place that you can have them. If you have a larger bathroom, they can act as a classy piece of decor over a bench. If your bathroom is smaller, the extra bathroom mirrors can make the room appear just a little bigger. You'll also love a full-length mirror, which is ideal when you want to see the final look after doing your hair and makeup. This is also a great time to consider whether the mirror you have over the sink is meeting your needs.

Paint

A fresh coat of paint is always a way to freshen a small space quickly and easily. Put on a couple of coats of light, cool blue to create a soothing space. Otherwise, washing the walls and putting on another coat of the color that you already have on the walls is often enough to make the room look more inviting and clean.

Rugs, a Shower Curtain, and More

One of the most fun parts of a bathroom is that you can dramatically change the appearance quickly and easily with some coordinating rugs, a shower curtain, and a few accessories. It doesn't cost very much, either, but you'll get big results.

Hardware

New hardware on the vanity, new door handles, and sink faucet handles can add a fresh appearance. You'll love the shine, and these small changes can make the room look updated if it was looking old.

When you're ready to add a few touches that make a big difference in a bathroom, try out a few options by using an app. Otherwise, there are plenty of simple ways to make a big impact that doesn’t cost very much or take a lot of time.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
