A dorm room can't be painted, can't be remodeled, and, unfortunately, you usually can't bring your own bed. But fear not! There are other creative ways to make your dorm room feel more creative and homey. Check out these awesome door decorations that college kids made.

Boo! This super easy Halloween-themed door is scary enough to be festive, but cute enough to take lots of pictures with. Just make sure you have lots of spare toilet paper, and a little construction paper.

A little sass on your door is never a bad thing. Also, who doesn't like Pixar movies? This is super easy to make with a little drawing talent for the fish, and some paper for the words.

Sometimes, you can be sweet and tangy. For those of us who aren't big fans of Valentine's Day, this may be how we celebrate the holiday. It's still hilarious regardless of your intentions, and not too difficult to make. Although, cutting up the hearts will probably get kind of tedious after a while.

The minion craze follows us all the way to a college campus, but this door isn't too hard to make. All you need is some construction paper, scissors, and a writing utensil. Hopefully your RA won't think you're a villain.

This is probably for the more advanced dorm door decorator, but still really cool! Find yourself some starry wrapping paper, and then some construction paper for the rest! Maybe get a stencil off the internet to help you with those details you may not be able to recreate perfectly.

This is pretty basic, and easy for any dorm door (as long as it's white). If it's not, you can always use white construction paper for the base. I'm sure you'd like to draw an Olaf on your door instead, but not all of us have the talent to do that.

Short, sweet, and to the point.

Paint chips on paint chips on paint chips. It may be tedious to put together, but it looks amazing and very colorful! Home Depot may be concerned with the amount of paint chips you're taking though. You should probably go with a buddy.

Gobble gobble. Thanksgiving gets grazed over so much during the fall/winter festivities, but these people decided to celebrate turkey season at their dorm. Very simple design if you know how to use scissors and glue.

This is how you decorate Time Lord style. Be prepared, because a lot of people will probably be taking pictures in front of your Tardis, including your RA!


It doesn't take a whole lot of skill to decorate your door, so take some time this semester to get your creative juices flowing. You're only at college for a few years, and then when will you get the chance to do these kinds of things?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas.

Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
