1. Pixie Lights


There are many types of cute lights that you can pick out and hang up but there is a reason that people are picking pixie over any other type of light. The main reason is that the light itself is relatively small and you usually get a longer foot range with this type. Another good reason to pick pixie lights over any other type is that the wiring is thinner so you can get the small clothespins and hang up pictures and stuff.

​2. A Tapestry


Tapestries have just about become the number one item on a dorm room shopping list. This is just to put on your wall next to or behind your bed and it gives your room a pop of color and it can make your room feel more cozy and homey.

This trend is slowly rising and it is very cute. Put curtains under your lofted up bed that way if you want to study or just chill under there you can have some sense of privacy (if you have a roommate) or it just looks super cute clipped back with a little bit showing out.

The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
