So your dorm room needs a little UMPH to it, huh? Here are 10 ways to inject come energy to your daily Feng Shui.

1. Pictures

Family, friends, scenic views on road trips—sometimes it's nice to take a breather and reminisce about all the good times you've had, and look forward to the memories you'll make in the future.

2. Tapestry

This tapestry from society 6 offers a sense of wanderlust for the college student that's always looking forward to a new adventure.

3. Letters/Initials

From your initials to your sorority's/fraternity's Greek letters, these will add personality to your dorm!

4. Succulents

Maybe something like these! A little pop of color is just what all dorm rooms could use.

5. Fairy lights are a classic choice

Ebay is always a good bet to find these! They're like a clothesline for photos!

6. Cork board

Cork boards are the essence of every dorm room. They save everything from movie ticket stubs to crafts you did with your residence hall to memos for events!

7. Paintings and prints

Classic paintings, like Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog by Friedrich, never go out of style

8. Hanging mirror

The possibilities to hang things up in your room are almost endless thanks to 3M! Small, hanging mirrors are perfect for every room when you're rushing to get to class and need to check yourself out one last time before heading out the door.

9. Nostalgic items from your childhood

Who doesn't love an old Disney film?

10. Headboard

Pinterest is the holy grail of DIY projects, and when you're finished with the school year, these headboards can be recycled!
