Ways To Make Any Place Feel More Like Home

Sometimes you're stuck in a place that's not comfortable. It could be too cold, the windows could be broken, the floor could be creaky in a creepy way. Even the average dorm isn't always the homiest, but there are little things you can buy to make it better.

String Lights are a good way to lighten up a room without the harshness of a lamp. They're fun and come a wide variety of lengths and colors, and given it's getting closer to Christmas time, so soon there'll be value lights at Walmart for decent prices.

Candles are literally the best home decor thing you could ever buy because they smell freaking amazing, they provide light, and who doesn't love some a e s t h e t i c .

Posters are a nice way to liven up any room and add character. You can buy posters of just about anything, any TV show you love, or any band you love. Plus, if your door's open and someone walks by and sees a poster of something they too enjoy, there's an opportunity to make a new friend!

Bluetooth Speakers are a great way to listen to music with a fuller sound and bass, especially because most laptop speakers aren't made for premium music listening. Of course, headphones are great, too, for if you have a roommate and they're asleep, but if you're living in a single dorm or have your own room, invest in a bluetooth speaker; you won't regret it.

Organizers are a good way to keep things tidy while also adding color to a room! Sterilite organizers come in a wide variety of sizes and are great for putting miscellaneous things there that would probably otherwise be on the floor or that one chair you put all your not dirty but not clean laundry on. It's okay, I do it too.

Hope these tips helped! Stay comfy and cozy you guys!

We Heart It

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
