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.

3. Something furry


Whether it is your comforter or a nice big rug to go under your bed it doesn't matter you just need it. The most popular furry item is a rug that some people hang over the back of their desk chair.

4. Curtains


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.

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.
