If you're anything like me, planning your dorm room is one of the most fun parts about moving back to college. This is your chance to make or break the vibes you get when laying on your bed studying or hanging out with friends on the floor on the weekend. Here are a few ideas of dorm room styles that you could style yours after! Make it your own, don't be afraid to mix and match, this is your space!

1. City Chic

For the wannabe city girl (or guy), find a city skyline bedspread + some bold black and white patterns to complete the look!

2. Floral Fun

Plenty of Pink, floral patterns, and maybe just a little sherpa or fur will make your space feel like your own corner of Paris!

3. Cozy + Comfy

This room, complete with twinkle lights, sweater pillowcases, and just enough green, will let you feel calm and cozy, even on rainy days.

4. Mr. Modern

Or Mrs. Modern! All you need for this room look is white + black furniture, a few prints, plenty of industrial modern looking accents, and maybe a pop of color!

5. Indie

For this room look, use minimal pattern in large quantities, and rather, use a few bold patterns in small quantities. Try an accent pillow or a throw blanket!

6. Farmhouse Friendly

This one is perfect for our country gals! A nice soft patterned quilt, along with some wood accents and plenty of white will make for this cozy little room! Don't forget to bring old pictures and memories from home!

7. Collectors Corner

For those of us who can't seem to get rid of old books, postcards, or pictures (no shame), this one is for you! Simply hang up all your old momentoes over your desk as reminders of how blessed you are! Keep the furniture simple so as not to distract from your keepsakes!

8. White + Bright, Clean + Green

This look is perfect for those of us who like a refreshing and uplifting room to walk back into. The white and natural greens are the perfect way to feel relaxed and ready to be productive after a long day!

9. Trippy Twinkles

Grab a bold-patterned comforter or maybe a tie-dyed tapestry and a disco ball to complete this look! A mirror and some plants might help to balance out the pops of pizzaz!

10. Bright + Bubbly

Options are endless for this style. Run through Target and grab anything that catches your eye; floral, pink, pillows, sparkles, gold, glass, and more!

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.
