8 Things Every Girl Needs In Her Dorm Room

We all know we came to college for an education. In order for us to be productive in the classroom, we’ve got to be fab and organized in the dorm room. Now is the time to get prepared! Here is a list of 8 essential items every girl needs in her dorm room.

1.Full-length mirror:

When you dress well, you work well. Having a full-length mirror in your room will save your life! It makes it much easier to plan your outfits stress-free and make sure your class ensembles are fab every day of the week.

2. Room décor:

Your dorm will be your new home this year. Make it feel that way! Bring whatever you need to make sure you feel like it is your space. This is one of the fun parts about college. Go all out!

3. Planner:

Time management is crucial in college. Staying organized is the key to a stress-free school year. Make sure you purchase a planner where you can list out your whole day. Don’t forget, sometimes buying a cute one is even more motivation for you to actually use it! Plan on, ladies!

4. Business attire:

Professionalism is key. Dress like it! There will be endless networking and job opportunities on campus. Always make sure you have business professional attire ready. You never know who you may run into.

5. Cute book bag:

It doesn’t matter if you use a regular backpack, small purse or big tote. You need some type of bag to carry your class essentials. Don’t be that student who isn’t prepared for class. Keep your bag stocked with the supplies you need.

6. Air freshener:

Don’t let your room be the funky one. Besides keeping clean, use scented candles or room sprays as an amazing way to make sure your room smells fresh. If you prefer not to burn down your dorm, regular air fresheners or wall plug-ins may be the safer option. Having a great-smelling room is really the icing on the cake.

7. Chic and comfortable bedding:

Are you the professional daytime nap taker, the person who does all their work in their bed or just someone who sleeps there? Either way, you are going to want some comfortable bedding. Sleeping is your time to relax and recoup. Make it the most comfortable place in your room, and the cutest!

8. Beauty/Toiletry organizer:

Let's face it, you will bring tons of makeup and toiletries to college, and rightfully so. Make sure you have something to organize all those items. Nothing can be a bigger hassle than not being able to find what you need when getting ready in the morning.

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.
