12 Ways To Have A Cozy Dorm
Kinley Powell

There are a lot of things that I love about college. I love the atmosphere and the community. I love that it takes me two minutes to walk from my dorm to my classroom. And I really love my roomie, suite-mates, and teachers, but I can say hands down the best thing I love about Anderson University, is my dorm. If you know me, you know that I am not a homebody. To be on-the-go is my first nature. Being busy, hanging out with the people I love, and sitting outside on a pretty day are my favorite things, but at the end of the day when there is nothing else on my to-do list, I am thrilled to come home to my cozy dorm.

I made a list on all the things that I find cozy or cute in my room and if you are trying to cozy up yours, feel free to take some ideas!

1. Throw Pillows On Your Bed

There is nothing cuter than throw pillows waiting on you when you get home!

2. Pictures Around Your Room

Because why not have pictures all around your room? Seeing pictures of my friends and family make me smile!

3. Cute School Supplies On The Desk

As much as I really need that paperclip right now, it's too cute to use.

4. Blankets On Blankets

Because blankets in the dorm are perfect.

5. Decorate For Each Season

Mini pumpkins for fall!

6. Wall Art That Makes You Smile

It brings color into your room and reminds you to keep on truckin'.

7. Stickers On Your Laptop Case!

I'm planning on filling this case up with stickers that mean a lot to me.

8. Chic And Classy Mugs

When you really need coffee, but the mug is super cute and you don't want to get it dirty....

9. A Comfy Rug

This is my favorite. Being able to walk onto a soft rug and jump into bed is just relaxing.

10. Pretty Lights

This is a big deal! Our room wouldn't look nearly as cozy if we didn't have the twinkling white lights.

11. Something That Reminds You Of Home

My family and I love music, so bringing my ukulele to the dorm reminds me of them on the daily.

12. Fake Or Real Flowers

Because they bring the room to life!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
