Ways To Make Any Place Feel More Like Home

Sometimes you're stuck in a place that's not comfortable. It could be too cold, the windows could be broken, the floor could be creaky in a creepy way. Even the average dorm isn't always the homiest, but there are little things you can buy to make it better.

String Lights are a good way to lighten up a room without the harshness of a lamp. They're fun and come a wide variety of lengths and colors, and given it's getting closer to Christmas time, so soon there'll be value lights at Walmart for decent prices.

Candles are literally the best home decor thing you could ever buy because they smell freaking amazing, they provide light, and who doesn't love some a e s t h e t i c .

Posters are a nice way to liven up any room and add character. You can buy posters of just about anything, any TV show you love, or any band you love. Plus, if your door's open and someone walks by and sees a poster of something they too enjoy, there's an opportunity to make a new friend!

Bluetooth Speakers are a great way to listen to music with a fuller sound and bass, especially because most laptop speakers aren't made for premium music listening. Of course, headphones are great, too, for if you have a roommate and they're asleep, but if you're living in a single dorm or have your own room, invest in a bluetooth speaker; you won't regret it.

Organizers are a good way to keep things tidy while also adding color to a room! Sterilite organizers come in a wide variety of sizes and are great for putting miscellaneous things there that would probably otherwise be on the floor or that one chair you put all your not dirty but not clean laundry on. It's okay, I do it too.

Hope these tips helped! Stay comfy and cozy you guys!

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.

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.
