How To: Make Your Own Rave Palace
Forrest Wilms

You live for the rave lifestyle and the atmosphere that comes along with festivals. The only thing that is missing is closest to you, your room. Creating a wonderful bedroom is not only very fun, but can be the life of the house party when having friends over to kick back.

Painting your room is one of the most important parts. This is where your creativity comes in to play as your decisions here set the atmosphere and mood. You can choose your favorite colors, but make sure they are bright and vivid for extra appeal! When I was younger I splatter painted one wall of my room and it was entertaining making it as well as made it my own creation. Have fun with this!

The next step is decorating. Posters of your favorite artists, activities, quotes, or just interesting stuff in general add a very personalized look. A few smaller items include lava lamps, chargeable glow sticks, and dancing lazer lights (which are my favorite). These can be found at Spencer’s and even your local Goodwill is going to have some hidden gems.

Personally, my rave room was in my P.O.S dorm sophomore year. I made the best of it (picture above) with blacklight posters, regular posters covering every inch of wall space, and flags from my favorite states and countries. The best part about creating a rave room is that it is your room and showing it off to people fulfilling when they say, “this is so bad ass”.

For additional fun I created a custom beer pong table that had led lights fastened around the side so it provided an awesome effect to the whole room. One of the most important parts is a stereo system. Lower priced stereo systems are going to be speakers that bottom line will provide an audio or blue tooth plug in so you can hear the music. Each level above will be louder, heavier, and bassier for bassheads that love the mind melting drops. I got my hands on a sony speaker with two subs, two kickers, and a mixing deck so I was DJ ready to go.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
