A dorm room can't be painted, can't be remodeled, and, unfortunately, you usually can't bring your own bed. But fear not! There are other creative ways to make your dorm room feel more creative and homey. Check out these awesome door decorations that college kids made.

Boo! This super easy Halloween-themed door is scary enough to be festive, but cute enough to take lots of pictures with. Just make sure you have lots of spare toilet paper, and a little construction paper.

A little sass on your door is never a bad thing. Also, who doesn't like Pixar movies? This is super easy to make with a little drawing talent for the fish, and some paper for the words.

Sometimes, you can be sweet and tangy. For those of us who aren't big fans of Valentine's Day, this may be how we celebrate the holiday. It's still hilarious regardless of your intentions, and not too difficult to make. Although, cutting up the hearts will probably get kind of tedious after a while.

The minion craze follows us all the way to a college campus, but this door isn't too hard to make. All you need is some construction paper, scissors, and a writing utensil. Hopefully your RA won't think you're a villain.

This is probably for the more advanced dorm door decorator, but still really cool! Find yourself some starry wrapping paper, and then some construction paper for the rest! Maybe get a stencil off the internet to help you with those details you may not be able to recreate perfectly.

This is pretty basic, and easy for any dorm door (as long as it's white). If it's not, you can always use white construction paper for the base. I'm sure you'd like to draw an Olaf on your door instead, but not all of us have the talent to do that.

Short, sweet, and to the point.

Paint chips on paint chips on paint chips. It may be tedious to put together, but it looks amazing and very colorful! Home Depot may be concerned with the amount of paint chips you're taking though. You should probably go with a buddy.

Gobble gobble. Thanksgiving gets grazed over so much during the fall/winter festivities, but these people decided to celebrate turkey season at their dorm. Very simple design if you know how to use scissors and glue.

This is how you decorate Time Lord style. Be prepared, because a lot of people will probably be taking pictures in front of your Tardis, including your RA!


It doesn't take a whole lot of skill to decorate your door, so take some time this semester to get your creative juices flowing. You're only at college for a few years, and then when will you get the chance to do these kinds of things?

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.

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.
