Thanksgiving is over which means it's time to get ready for Christmas! This can be kind of hard when you're a college kid and living in a dorm the size of a shoebox. That is no excuse not to decorate. This doesn't have to be an expensive or crazy thing, it can just be something simple and fun to celebrate Christmas. Here are some quick, easy, and inexpensive ways to decorate your dorm. Trust me, it's so fun and you'll love the way your room looks after!
Lights
Christmas lights are simple cute way to decorate your room. You can either go full out Christmas and buy colorful lights or you can keep it classy and just get some soft yellow lights. Both of these will immediately give your room a little Christmas spirit. You can even get the yellow icicle ones - but that's only if you're really feeling it.
Tree
Once you've got the lights up, you've gotta get a tree. It can be a tiny one that is only a foot tall, or even a four foot tall one like I have (well I have two but ya know). These trees can be set on top of a dresser or even on the ground if you have room. They are small but they really bring the room together. You can even buy fun ornaments that fit your personality! Then, once you start getting Christmas gifts for your friends, you can wrap them and put them under the tree. It may sound cliche but it really brings out the holiday spirit in the room.
Window decorations
You can go to Target and get the little sticky ones. They add a nice touch without taking up too much space.
The nice thing about all these things is you can continue to use them for years to come! Especially in your apartment junior and senior year. Another perk: you will get a lot of compliments from people visiting you in your room. Now, if you're not really that into Christmas, just hang up some lights. It just makes you room so much more cozy and warm. Well, I think my work is done here. I am gonna go make some hot chocolate and watch a Christma movie. Enjoy your decorating!
