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!
