5 DIY Ideas To Recreate For Your Dorm Room

Everyone loves a good DIY, am I right? Yeah, that's right.

And that's why I've selected these five tutorials to share with you. They are all relatively simple and not time-consuming. They are practical and use materials that you can find at Walmart or your local craft store. And of course, they're adorable!

1. This hip eucalyptus wall hanging. 

Wall décor can become a little pricey, so why not try your hand at making some art yourself? This particular DIY is one of my favorites because of its natural color scheme and how it incorporates multiple textures.

2. This colorful addition to any room. 

A garland is the perfect accessory to any room. You can string it with your lights, above your photo wall, or even over your door!

3. These funky geometric coasters. 

I tried out this DIY myself about a year ago, and they turned out so well. All you need is cork board (I bought a five-dollar set at Walmart), paint, and an X-Acto knife! So easy and very functional!

4. Classy planters for that garden you want to grow. 

And the best part is that you can buy whatever pattern of contact paper you want, so they are fully customizable! Also, you're helping the environment by reusing containers!

5. Adorable bookmarks for all those textbooks you’re reading (… or not). 

Simple, practical, and cute? I think yes!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
