Coming into college from Florida to Virginia, I couldn't bring much stuff so I had to get creative. Bringing photos is always a good idea but how to do it was a concern.

1. Hanging up photos!


Try hanging up photos with clothes pins and sting or put colorful paper behind the pictures to give your room a pop.

2. Make a picture collage calendar

Buy a picture collage from the dollar store, put some fun paper in the back, and write your days on the glass with dry erase marker.

3. Use shoe holders as snack holders.


Either use your shoe holder from move in day or get one from the dollar store. Hang it over your door and right before you leave you will never forget a snack.

4. Branch hook

Next time you are outside pick up a branch, paint it whatever color you wish, and hang it up.

5. Crayon rainbow art.


Buy a white canvas from the store and some crayons. Glue crayons in color of the rainbow or however you like, use a hair dryer to melt the crayons to create rainbow art, and hang it up!

I hope these ideas make your college dorm room pop and had a homey feel to it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
