Your dorm room is a sanctuary away from the chaos of main campus. Similarly to your bedroom back at home, your dorm is best to be comfortable and inviting as it gives you a pinch of positivity after a stressful day. I have post-its hanging all around my room, the bathroom mirror, near my bed, and on the front door to assure I can crack a smile when I walk in. Quotes about life and positivity are naturally encouraging.

Little sayings and wise words remind me to laugh and remain upbeat even if everything is falling apart. Surrounding oneself with positive vibes will help keep your body, soul, and mind aligned and ready to attempt all undertakings.
