Moving into a dingy, drab college dorm? Not sure how to make it feel a bit more like home? I’d highly recommend decor. But how does one decorate a dorm? Here are some ideas.

Command strips!

Command strips are your best friend for hanging up things without getting fined for leaving marks on the walls.

Washi tape.

Another cute way to add color to your room without breaking the bank or the wall.

Light!

Add a lamp to your room or some Christmas lights and it’ll look brighter and way more fun. I got a super cute star lamp from Wal-Mart for like $10!

Mirror

Mirrors make the room look a lot bigger and they’re functional too. If your decor does double duty, that's always a plus.

Tapestries

They’re totally in style right now and totally chic!

Art

Make some of your own or have your friends make you some before you leave for college! Make a college out of pictures of your friends and family from home and you'll feel like they’re right there with you.

Ottoman

An extra seat and an extra spot for storage? Sounds like a win to me!


Generally, try to keep the decor minimalist to help the space not look cluttered and make it easier to pack up when you move out. Happy decorating!

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
