Fun Fall Crafts For College Dorm Rooms

Fall; a season of incredible, involuntary change and a time to harvest memorable moments with our favorite people. Sometimes being in a college dorm limits our ability to to create a "homey" atmosphere, but don't let that stop you from decorating for the the best season ever! I have gathered below some of my favorite Pinterest DIY projects that I think would be a perfect addition to any college dorm room.

1. Bring ordinary pumpkins to the next level.

Forget plain orange pumpkins, this link shares a variety of ideas that include sparkles and lots of color! Get spirited and decorate your pumpkins with your school's colors!

2. Get crafty using REAL leaves.


Go outside, get some leaves, do this craft.

3. Spice up those Mason Jars.

Who doesn't like Mason Jars? They make the world go round.

4. Create your very own Leaf Mobile.

This one looks like a lot of fun, just remember some dorms have rules against hanging things from the ceiling. I'm sure theres a cute way you could hang it on a wall!

5. Who doesn't want a paper pumpkin?


For all my fellow scrapbookers- I know you have pretty paper that was really born to become a paper pumpkin.

6. Make your door stand out.

Everyone decorates their door for Christmas but why not start early?

7. Create a personalized wreath.

Store bought wreaths are so boring. Spruce it up a little with some leaves and the initials of you and your roommate!

8. Make the cutest little scarecrow ever.

Come on; can't you picture this little guy sitting on the window sill or off the corner of your desk?

9. Find a new way to brighten your day.

A perfect addition to a set of string lights to avoid using the awful overhead lighting in your room.

10. Flip a page, make a pumpkin.

Used old, recycled paper back books to create this little thing!

11. String up some leaf garland.


I actually did this one with some felt leaves I got at Target (I looked online and it doesn't look like they sell them anymore) but I decorated my hallway with these and it looks adorable (if I do say so myself!)

12. Flannel Coasters for your friends.

Flannel is so fetch.

13. And of course coloring is always a good idea.

One of my favorite pastimes. Here's a link to a set of festive coloring pages!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
