10 Things To Fit Your Domestic Skeletal Aesthetic

So my little sister, whom I love and adore, is pretty adamant that she wants me to get married...like yesterday. Specifically, she wants me to marry one of my dearest friends because my sister loves her as much as (if not more than) she loves me. My sister sleepily demanded a couple months ago that I had to hop a bus for a four hour trip to this friend and propose immediately. It was adorable! When I told my friend about this, she joked that we'd have the more skeleton based decor than any other house because we love skeletons and Halloween (we literally met through a Halloween group and hope to visit the Museum of Death together one day). So if you're anything like us, here's some ideas for your own "domestic skeletal aesthetic".

1. Freezer Skull

It may chill some people to the bone to see skulls everywhere, but not you or I! Perhaps a freezer skull like Henry here may freeze others in terror but it seems pretty cool to me.

2. Sitting Skeletons

These are advertised as being meant to sit on computers, but why stop there! Set them on the bathroom mirror, ledges of the shower or tub, any sink, anywhere they can be lined up and not in the way! A spot of spoopy anywhere!

3. Jewelry Holder


If you've got jewelry, why let it get tangled in a box or on top of any flat surface? Use this helping hand instead! (Or a more affordable version!)

4. Coaster Holder

Not just your jewelry, have a hand holding your coasters too! Who can resist the irony of something dead in the living room?!

5. Salt and Pepper Shaker Holder

Why have your salt and pepper shakers anywhere but cradled in the arms of this skeleton?!

6. Bottle Opener

Hey, two heads are better than one, especially when neither can talk! Crack open a cold one with this!

7. Skull Shots

These may be shot glasses but there's a variety of dishware shaped like skulls! Just imagine how often you could say, "I had this prepared a-head of time"! (Well, unless you run things late then it's more like "I should've thought a-head"!)

8. Skull Doorknob

These are a-door-able and you're lying if you say you didn't chuckle at that pun. Perfect for any door and there's several vendors who make skeleton based drawer and cabinet handles too! Plus! These! Light! Up!

9. Candle Holders

I personally find these ones funny as they seem to worship the candles or cower under their weight. But there's other designs that may suit your skeletal interests more!

10. Skull Sheets

Of course, what skeletal home would be complete without bed sheets to match! I love these ones that have the skull incorporated without being terrifying (I love skeletons and macabre and dark humor but...I'm also scared of the dark and the inevitability of death...yeah not sure how that works either)! There's so many designs out there if you look for them!


I hope you saw something you might like to put in your own home someday! (I know I'm ready to break the bank over these...except I really shouldn't juuuust yet haha.)

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
