5 Easy Ways To Decorate Your Dorm Room For Fall

It's that time of year again!! The leaves are starting to fall, the pumpkin spice lattes are out, and the weather is FINALLY cooling down to bearable temperatures. Decorating your room is arguably one of the best ways to get in the spirit of fall, and though it can be tough to get into the spirit in a dorm, it is possible.

Here are five easy ways that you can decorate your dorm room for fall:

1. The holy grail of dorm decor: THE DOLLAR SECTION

Kaylin Harding

If you're looking to give your room a fall makeover, I recommend that the first stop you make is the dollar section at Target. They have everything from fall banners to $3 throw pillows (You can't go wrong with too many throw pillows).

2. Light a candle... or 5.

Scented candles are the epitome of fall. My personal favorite fall candle is "Leaves" by Bath and Body Works. But if you're ballin' on a budget like most college kids, hit up the good ole' Target dollar section, they've got candles that smell just as amazing for $3.

Put these candles everywhere. I keep at least 2 candles in my room at a time. There's no such thing as too many candles.

3. Decorate your door.

Now, your door is the first thing people see before they even enter your room. My roommate and I pride ourselves on decorating our door for all seasons. We usually go for a very simplistic look. I decorated my door (pictured above) for $7. All items are from guess where... the dollar section.

4. Make a candy jar

Candy jars are one of my go-to's for every season. Not only does a mason jar full of candy corn add a nice fall flare to the room, it serves as a yummy snack too!

Bonus idea: Put a bucket of candy outside of your door leading up to Halloween for people to grab from!

5. Get back to your kindergarten roots... construction paper!

Remember back in kindergarten when all of the crafts revolved around one thing: construction paper.

You can buy a pack of $5 construction paper from Walmart and create literally anything you want to add a little pizazz to your room. You can make a wreath, leaves garland, cut out pumpkins and bats for your door, the possibilities are endless!

Still feeling uninspired? Here are a few Fall room videos to get you in the mood!

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.
