Fun Fall Crafts For College Dorm Rooms

Fall; a season of incredible, involuntary change and a time to harvest memorable moments with our favorite people. Sometimes being in a college dorm limits our ability to to create a "homey" atmosphere, but don't let that stop you from decorating for the the best season ever! I have gathered below some of my favorite Pinterest DIY projects that I think would be a perfect addition to any college dorm room.

1. Bring ordinary pumpkins to the next level.

Forget plain orange pumpkins, this link shares a variety of ideas that include sparkles and lots of color! Get spirited and decorate your pumpkins with your school's colors!

2. Get crafty using REAL leaves.


Go outside, get some leaves, do this craft.

3. Spice up those Mason Jars.

Who doesn't like Mason Jars? They make the world go round.

4. Create your very own Leaf Mobile.

This one looks like a lot of fun, just remember some dorms have rules against hanging things from the ceiling. I'm sure theres a cute way you could hang it on a wall!

5. Who doesn't want a paper pumpkin?


For all my fellow scrapbookers- I know you have pretty paper that was really born to become a paper pumpkin.

6. Make your door stand out.

Everyone decorates their door for Christmas but why not start early?

7. Create a personalized wreath.

Store bought wreaths are so boring. Spruce it up a little with some leaves and the initials of you and your roommate!

8. Make the cutest little scarecrow ever.

Come on; can't you picture this little guy sitting on the window sill or off the corner of your desk?

9. Find a new way to brighten your day.

A perfect addition to a set of string lights to avoid using the awful overhead lighting in your room.

10. Flip a page, make a pumpkin.

Used old, recycled paper back books to create this little thing!

11. String up some leaf garland.


I actually did this one with some felt leaves I got at Target (I looked online and it doesn't look like they sell them anymore) but I decorated my hallway with these and it looks adorable (if I do say so myself!)

12. Flannel Coasters for your friends.

Flannel is so fetch.

13. And of course coloring is always a good idea.

One of my favorite pastimes. Here's a link to a set of festive coloring pages!

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.
