In This Article:

Throughout the semester you may have noticed small things around your dorm room that you wish you had left at home, or even that you had just placed somewhere else. Or, you're getting sick of seeing the same decor pieces every day like I am. This is the perfect time of year to give our rooms a mini-makeover and to improve our spaces for the upcoming semester. The best part about these seven items is that they can all be purchased on Target.com, and they are all fairly afforadable!

1. A letter board.

This specific letter board is unique because it's wood rather than the typical frame and velvet. You'll be able to display the lines of all your favorite vines!

2. Another throw pillow.

Simply because another throw pillow really can't hurt, and it's a great way to add more character to your room.

3. A cute candle.

Not that you're planning to light it in your dorm room or anything like that. Candles can add such a calming tone to a room, and it's even better if it's a cute one like this by Hearth and Hand.

4. A himalayan salt lamp.

Similar to candles, salt lamp add a soothing mood to your room. The only downside is that they are pretty heavy, and can be annoying to take home at the end of the semester.

5. A decorative lamp.

You may already have the typical Target lamp most college students own already, but swapping it out for a cute one like this allows the lamp to be more of a decor piece than an office supply piece.

6. A basket.

Baskets are a great way to conceal those moisturizers, deodorants, perfumes, and any other products you may have out in the open on your desk.

7. Garland.

Yes, Christmas is over - but winter isn't! Bringing a little bit of the outdoors into the living space is seeming to become more of a home design trend.

With break right around the corner, you probably finally have the time to plan out some redecorating ideas and to paruse Target or Urban Outfitters decor catalogs. Take advantage of the extra time and do something kind for yourself!

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.
