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!

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.
