12 Ways To Have A Cozy Dorm
Kinley Powell

There are a lot of things that I love about college. I love the atmosphere and the community. I love that it takes me two minutes to walk from my dorm to my classroom. And I really love my roomie, suite-mates, and teachers, but I can say hands down the best thing I love about Anderson University, is my dorm. If you know me, you know that I am not a homebody. To be on-the-go is my first nature. Being busy, hanging out with the people I love, and sitting outside on a pretty day are my favorite things, but at the end of the day when there is nothing else on my to-do list, I am thrilled to come home to my cozy dorm.

I made a list on all the things that I find cozy or cute in my room and if you are trying to cozy up yours, feel free to take some ideas!

1. Throw Pillows On Your Bed

There is nothing cuter than throw pillows waiting on you when you get home!

2. Pictures Around Your Room

Because why not have pictures all around your room? Seeing pictures of my friends and family make me smile!

3. Cute School Supplies On The Desk

As much as I really need that paperclip right now, it's too cute to use.

4. Blankets On Blankets

Because blankets in the dorm are perfect.

5. Decorate For Each Season

Mini pumpkins for fall!

6. Wall Art That Makes You Smile

It brings color into your room and reminds you to keep on truckin'.

7. Stickers On Your Laptop Case!

I'm planning on filling this case up with stickers that mean a lot to me.

8. Chic And Classy Mugs

When you really need coffee, but the mug is super cute and you don't want to get it dirty....

9. A Comfy Rug

This is my favorite. Being able to walk onto a soft rug and jump into bed is just relaxing.

10. Pretty Lights

This is a big deal! Our room wouldn't look nearly as cozy if we didn't have the twinkling white lights.

11. Something That Reminds You Of Home

My family and I love music, so bringing my ukulele to the dorm reminds me of them on the daily.

12. Fake Or Real Flowers

Because they bring the room to life!

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.
