The space you live in affects you a lot more than you think. If you dislike the space you're living in, it can make it really difficult to be productive, get in a good mood or mindset and feel comfortable throughout the day. And because of the global pandemic, we're at home a lot more than I'm sure we'd all like to be, which makes it even more important for you to be comfortable and happy in the space you're living in.

If you don't like the space you're living in, and want to vamp it up a little, here are (insert number here) easy ways to change up your room and make it a space you're happy to spend time in.

Chalkboard paint is an easy way to spice up a dull room. With this paint and a couple pieces of colorful chalk, you could have a new looking room everyday. Use it for doodling, writing out lists or even drawing your very own personalized wallpaper. It's an easy, inexpensive way to give your room a little flare, and can be fun long after you put it on your wall.

With the global pandemic, a lot of people are feeling more lonely than usual. Not seeing friends or family coupled with never leaving your room can make you feel awful. However, a couple of pictures of family or friends on your wall cuckold subtly help you out. Not only will it remind you that you're not alone, but it'll be a cute decoration that will add a lot to your room or living space.

Flowers (fake or real)

Flowers are a simple elegant way to make the space you're living in more pleasant to look at and exist in. Real or fake flowers would do the trick. With real flowers, you can switch them up every couple of days after they die, or with fake ones, you can have a couple around your room you won't have to worry about. Either way, flowers are an easy way to add a little color and life to your living space.

Records

If you're into music, or just like the aesthetic of records, put a couple of the album covers on your wall! Or, if you don't have your own records, but still love the look of them, go to a thrift store and pick up a couple! They're super cheap and a super easy way to add a personal touch to your room or living space.

Greenery

Any form of greenery, whether it be vines, house plants or fake plants are sure to add a bit of life to your living space. You can get really cheap hanging vines for your ceiling or wall from amazon, as well as cute fake plants too! But if you're confident in your abilities to keep a real one alive, go for a real houseplant!

Posters

If you're looking for something a little more personal than the rest of these, try and find a poster you like! Whether that be of a band, movie, or just a pretty poster, you're sure to find one that will fit with your style and make your living space more you. If you want to spice it up even a little bit more, instead of a poster, try a tapestry!

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.

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.
