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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
