7 Subreddits To Check Out For Home Decor Inspiration
Start writing a post

One of the best parts of being off at college is that you get to totally control your living space. Okay, maybe not everything (especially if you live in a dorm), but you certainly have a lot more autonomy than when you were living under your parent's roof during high school. This freedom can be so simple -- it means you get to put your stuff in the exact spot you want, even if it'd make no sense to anyone else -- yet can be so freeing and fun to embrace. Still, it can be tough to know what you want to do with your stuff and how to decorate, especially if this is your first time.

What many will do in this situation is head to Pinterest. Now, I love Pinterest and quite enjoy finding recipes from it for so many things I don't need to eat. It can be tough to navigate when it comes to home decor inspiration though, since much of what you'll find will be some kind of DIY project or some other keyword-stuffed pin that just leads to a product page instead of something actually helpful.

Plus, the things you like might not be what's popular, and consequently could be hard to find. For example, my fellow Leos apparently love a bohemian home decor style, but that's the furthest from my preference. Similarly, Pinterest can sometimes get drowned out with a million variations on the same trend.

So, what's a person to do? I'd recommend checking out one of the following seven subreddits, which I've found to be helpful in finding inspiration for a room's decor or color scheme. Look at the top posts on each of these, and even try searching some colors or terms to see if you can find something that's generally along the lines of what you're looking for.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
