Top 10 Dorm Room Needs

With college move-ins right around the corner, here are my top ten dorm room must haves!

10. Bath mats

These will make your life so much easier! If you have a shower that overflows, it will keep the floors dryer. Mats are super cheap and easy to replace if they stain!

9. Bedding

This is a must! Bring something that not only expresses yourself, but it will keep you warm and comfy!

8. Shower Caddy

Caddies are super helpful if you are in a community bathroom. Again, a really cheap item to relive stress.

7. Additional Lighting

While overhead lights are great, additional lighting like lamps are super helpful. If your room mate likes little lighting, this will keep both of you happy.

6. Extra Chairs

Trust me from experience, desk chairs are uncomfortable. Buy yourself a few other chairs, like bean bags or moon chairs. They are great for movie watching too!

5. Hangers

Even if they don't mean to, your room mate will use your hangers. Grab a few extras! Maybe color coordinate as well!

4. Microwave

A chef's best friend in college. If you get tired of cafeteria food, make sure you have access to a microwave. Make sure it is the appropriate power level as well!

3. Mini Fridge

Another hugely important kitchen item. Coordinate with your roommate on who will bring the fridge and who will bring the microwave!

2. A TV

This is more of an optional item, but I HIGHLY recommend it! TVs are a great way to bring new friends to your room.

1. Photos

Decorate your space with photos! They are great mementos of home and the amazing memories you will make this semester!


Hope you enjoyed my list! This semester will be awesome!

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
