22 Quotes To Include In Your Dorm DIYs This Year
Faith Obringer

With college move-ins starting, many of us are excited about decorating our dorms with our personal style. The options are endless, but sometimes it's hard to narrow down the possibilities. Quote canvases are an extremely popular choice, and they're a cute way to display our favorite motivational quotes. I chose a few of these to put in my own room, and I hope you will too!

1. "Be a girl with a mind, a woman with an attitude, and a lady with class."

2. "Though she be but little, she is fierce." -Shakespeare

3. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it." -'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'

4. "Donut worry, be happy."

5. "I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again." -F Scott Fitzgerald

6. "Life is tough, my darling, but so are you." -Stephanie Bennett-Henry

7. "Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." -Ambrose Redmoon

8. "Keep your heels, head, and standards high." -Coco Chanel

This was a piece I did for my own dorm this fall!

9. "It is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all." -Arthur Conan Doyle

10. "She leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes."

11. "Be a voice not an echo." -Albert Einstein

12. "Anything is possible with sunshine and a little pink." -Lilly Pulitzer

Think outside the box when it come to decor! Not all of your art needs to be on rectangular canvases.

13. "Be who you are, not who the world wants you to be." -Coco Chanel

14. "Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature." -Greys Anatomy

15. "Sometimes you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be." -'Gossip Girl'

16. "You can never be overdressed or over educated." -Oscar Wilde

17. "Knowledge will give you power but character will give you respect." -Eleanor Roosevelt

18. "Here's to the nights that turned into mornings with the friends that turned into family."

19. "When something bad happens, you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you." -Dr. Seuss

20. "Work like a Humphrey. Think like a Bass. Act like a Waldorf. Look like an Archibald. Dress like a Van der Woodsen."

While not directly from the show, this is still a 'Gossip Girl' fan favorite.

21. "Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground." -Theodore Roosevelt

22. "Love and Honor"

An easy way to show your school pride is to hang it in your room. "Love and Honor" is important to Miami University students, faculty, and alumni, and it's often displayed to show our commitment to the school and the Miami family. Find something special for your school, and turn it into art!


Whether you choose these, make a variation ofthem, or pick an idea that's completely different, don't forget to make your room true to you!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
