Dorm Room or Night Club? Improvements Made Simple

Appearance is a key aspect of life. The first impression is everything. Now personal fashion is tricky, but some simple additions to a room can change it from a pigpen into a makeshift nightclub. 

Let's start with the first addition; add a small black light. No need to actually mount a black light bar. Take a simple desk lamp and put in a black light bulb. From there,, add a poster, flag, or tie dyed sheet that has either a major portion of white or neon. When combined, the wall gains a special element.

The second thing to do is add a string of lights, but don't just hang them anywhere. The key is to arrange them into a design. Make an actual shape (e.g. heart, star, number, or name), so when you then plug them in, it can create a look similar to a neon lighted sign.

The third thing is to add a small chalkboard. There are two ways to do this: buy one from a store, or my favorite, make one. To make one, all you need to do is take anything that is smooth or a section of a wall and paint it. This addition could also be used with the first. Place a design on the board and shine the light on it. Chalk allows for a simple change to a regular wall as well as gives it the ability to constantly change the look. 

The fourth and final tip is to add some candles. You may already have candles, but now you'll use them for decoration. These can be fake or real candles. Take them and place them inside a designed piece of glass — a glass that has either a single logo or has a couple colors on it. With the glasses lit by candles, set them on shelves or tables to add to the essence of the room. The more the better. 

Who needs the expense or maintenance of an actual nightclub? When you add even one of the above, it immediately raises the stock of the room tenfold.

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.
