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!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
