11 Items From Amazon To Take Your Dorm Room From Dull To Damn

With the start of a new semester, it can be nice to bring some new life to your dorm room. Even one or two new items can make a room that much homier and more comfortable to live in. With these inexpensive items, you're sure to feel cozy AF.

Plants

I am obsessed with succulents and I'm sure many of you are too. Adding a little greenery to a room can be a great way to make it look and feel like home. Whether it's a real plant or a fake plant it's sure to add a little life to your room. Succulents are easy to care for, just water them twice a month!

Practical Lights

Dorm rooms never really seem to have enough lighting and the overhead light is always too harsh. Having a few desk lamps can help to brighten up a space without it feeling so fluorescent. This adorable desk lamp looks like a plant, plus it has three brightness levels.

Tapestry

Urban Outfitters likes to sell tapestries for $50 plus, yikes! Amazon offers some much more affordable options that create the same effect. For just under $12, this Desert Cactus Tapestry adds the perfect amount of color to a dull space.

Pillow

Adding a new pillow or two to your bed can totally change the look of your bedding. This succulent pillow is a little on the pricier side, but it's so beautiful. If you're on more of a budget, this cactus shaped pillow gives the same effect.

Banner

This customizable banner can be reused and changed as many times as you'd like. So basically you're getting infinite room decor for the price of this one banner. You'll never need to buy another birthday banner again.

Photo Display

This photo display is the cutest thing ever, It's so unique compared to other photo displays I've seen which makes it that much better. Fill it with photos, postcards, or keepsakes to keep your room clutter free.

Rug

This little fluffy rug also doubles as a chair cover. A white rug can be kind of risky in a dorm room, but it would still be a totally cute rug in another color.

Fun Lights

A dorm room also needs fun lights as well. This curtain light works as a wall display and a light source, meaning it's totally worth your investment.

Enough Storage

Having a cluttered space can keep you from feeling zen in your room. A few bins like this can keep your clutter contained in a way that's aesthetically pleasing.

Seat Cushion

This seat cushion makes that wooden dorm chair a lot comfier, plus it comes in a bunch of colors. Something simple like this adds a splash of color and makes sitting at your desk bearable for more than 20 minutes.

Diffuser or Candle 

While a lot of colleges won't let you have candles in your room, they still make totally cute decor. These succulent candles are too cute to burn. This cactus diffuser will give the same effect if you can't have a candle.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
