When Is It Time To Redecorate?

When do you know when it is time to redecorate? It might be when the layer of dust on your "fancier" couch becomes more like a piece of card stock or it might be when you are completing a homework assignment and realize that the style and furniture in your own house matches quite similarly to that of a historic housing room. You might be asking yourself at this point, how do you fix this old looking space into a new, modern, and contemporary style masterpiece? Despite the obvious thing, which would be to move into a perfectly furnished house that is already equipped with all the little nicknacks and quirks that you want, it isn't entirely possible to achieve that most of the time.

However, there are little and big things you can change to make your house, or just a singular room, way more trendy and up to date with all the new and latest fashion ideas.

One of the most simple things you can do that is sometimes very overlooked, is change the color of your walls. It might sound like an obvious idea, but by changing just the wall color, and keeping all of your furniture, you can brighten the room and make it have more of an open and inviting vibe. Another thing you can do is reface the cabinets. By doing this you change the whole color of the room. You can go from a really dark room to a light room or viceversa.

There are also alternatives if you don't want to have little minute changes as well. You can totally go for more a drastic look if thats what your envisioning. You can replace the cabinets, get new appliances, pick out a new floor, and even paint the walls a new color. All of these little things combined together makes for a drastic change in your own home. Some people aren't ready for such a big undertaking, which is totally understandable. But if you are, more power to you. Depending on how efficient your construction team is ad how much you are actually changing, this whole reconstruction can take from about 2 months to up to a year. So if you are willing to spend a lot of time and money on this extravagant project, you could make one amazing house!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
