If you are moving into a dorm this year, you are probably excited to decorate! I am here to help with the strenuous task of back to school shopping. These are some of the most quirky, adorable, and unique little knick knacks that you can splurge on for your dorm room this year! Thank me later.

1. Magnetic Pete Key Holder

This little guy will keep your keys in one place so you're not scrambling every morning before your 8 a.m. class. The magnet could also be used for other little items that seem to disappear the moment you turn around, such as earrings. Magnetic Pete has your back.

2. Hanging Air Plant Terrarium Planter

If you want to add a little greenery to your tiny dorm room but is prone to killing every plant you touch with negligence, this is the decoration for you. These little succulents only need to be lightly misted every couple of weeks!

3. Casper & Coal Travel Cosmetic Bag - Signature Canvas Collection

A makeup bucket for all your cosmetic beauty needs. This tote can be easily carried from your dorm room to your bathroom and looks great!

4. MiniPresso GR Espresso Maker

This is the expresso machine of every college student's dreams. It's compact and even portable. Now there is no excuse for your grumpy pre-coffee attitude, just take the MiniPresso to go.

5. Eco-Friendly Thermal Bag Insulated Bag | Hot Cold Bag

Who doesn't get hungry in the middle of class? This is a great way to bring all of your snacks with you on the treacherous journey across campus to that dreaded chemistry class. Your lab partner sucks but at least you have multiple yogurt cups to keep you company.

6. Rose Gold Geometric LED Bedroom Fairy Lights

Everyone loves a good strand of string lights for their dorm room, but step it up a notch with Rose Gold Geometric ones! It's like waking up in a Pinterest-eque wonderland every day.

7. Sundial Compass - Solid Brass Sun Dial


I will not apologize for including a sundial on this list. They are the most wonderful things, just behind slice bread, and it belongs on any and every list there is. Also, this is a great conversation starter!

8. 8GB Nikon Camera Bag Shaped USB Memory Drive

It's a flash drive in the shape of a camera. For all the photography enthusiast out there, your finger should've already clicked the check out button by now. This little handy flash drive is the organization tool of your dreams.

9. HI-BOOM Cube Wood LED Alarm Clock

Everyone needs an alarm clock and this sleek wooden box design is the bomb. This clock will make you feel slightly better about pressing snooze for the 8th time.

10. Glass Mug with Polar Bear Print Coffee Mugs

It's an adorable polar bear mug! By my unofficial survey, I have concluded that polar bears are the number 1 cutest animal to be printed on a mug.

11. Amplitude Glass and Wood Table Lamp

This lamp is the first step of many to your dream of a rustic chic lifestyle. First, you start off with an amplitude glass lamp, then you are suddenly using mason jars instead of dinnerware and finally, you transform into a full-on lumberjack. A truly essential piece to any aspiring hipsters out there.

12. Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser

Have you ever visited Lush and wished your dorm would smell just as lovely? Well here is the answer you are looking for. This diffuser allows you to perfume your room with the best part about a bath-bomb. I can't wait.

13. Phone and Wallet Locator

This little device is the answer we've all been looking for. Now you will never lose your keys again with Tile! It effortlessly tracks down your possessions without the need for a mini heart attack.

14. Bunny Desk Organizer - Scissors and Paper Clips Holder


This cute little bunny will keep your paper clips and scissors together while looking fabulous!

15. Laptop Sleeve Case Cover Protective Laptop Bag


My computer is my life and I'm willing to protect it at all cost. This felt laptop case makes it a little easier. It is as soft as a newborn puppy and essential for anyone looking to protect their computer.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
