10 Creative Ideas For Decorating And Organizing Your Dorm Room

The best way to start any dorm room decorating project is to select a quality comforter that not only reflects your personal style but can be used as the color or pattern foundation for your dorm room.

Following are 10 creative ideas for decorating and organizing your dorm room for little money.

Bed Risers - Use a set of bed risers or four cement blocks to create extra space for storing luggage, excess clothes, books etc.

Plastic Crates - Stacking plastic crates beside your desk or in your closet is a great idea. Since plastic crates come in a variety of colors you should be able to find ones that match your dorm room decorating theme.

Closet Organizers - Consider closet organizers and inexpensive plastic hooks for additional clothing and accessory storage.

Decorate with Posters - When it comes to dorm room decorating posters are one of the best budget-friendly ways to decorate.

Wall Art - If you like to draw, unleash your inner artist and create you own work of art on your walls using a sheet of butcher paper and pastels or simply use some colored chalk and go wild! Since chalk easily washes off most surfaces you can be as creative as you want without damaging your walls.

Photo Display - Another great idea is to string up a laundry line of artwork or photos using clips or suction cups on each end.

Decorative Magnets - If your dorm room has any metal surfaces such as a closet door or bar fridge use magnetic cut outs and letters to add a little decorative flair.

Dry Erase Boards - If you have a room mate or simply in the habit of leaving yourself reminder notes consider posting a dry erase board inside your dorm room or an exterior one outside your room for friends to leave you messages.

Bulletin/Memo Boards - A bulletin board is also an important element in dorm room decorating, you can paint a plain bulletin board to match your walls or you can design your own memo board using a strong cork board covered with a coordinating fabric and crisscrossing some ribbon to help secure your mementos.

Accent Lighting - In addition to practical lighting for late-night studying consider stringing mini-lights from corner to corner in your dorm room. Adding this kind of accent lighting will complement just about any dorm room decorating ideas you’ve implemented.

Nine Ten, Better Sleep Again!

If you are an insomniac, you are the walking dead-get some sleep! Now, i get enough sleep, maybe more than enough. During the school year, I typically hit the sack at around 9:30 or 10:00. I mean, high school takes alot out of me! But, since it's been summer, I've been staying up pretty late. I don't go to bed until around 1:00. But, the first day of school is only about four days away-I need to restart my healthy sleeping regimen. Otherwise, my new pad may be my desk(or atleast one of them). Here are some of my tips on how to get your butt to sleep!

1) Exercise during the day-Duh! It makes you tired!

2) get rid of all light-I don't care how scared I am of the dark! If there's light, I just can't go to sleep!

3) have a clean bedroom-I can't do ANYTHING in my room if it's a mess!

4) take a warm bath or shower before bed- This might sound a little scary, but the warm water will send blood away from your brain, which will make you tired.

5) read- Believe me, if you lie back on your bed and read late at night, you won't even have to try to go to sleep.

6) wear comfy clothes- comfiness=sweet dreams

7) DON'T try to hard!!!!-do something to get your mind off of trying to go to sleep and you'll just get too tired...yawn

I Got My Schedule!

I just got my school schedule sent to me in the mail a few days ago. It's surprising, but I actually think that my senior year is going to be quite easy. See, I'm on the Core 40 diploma so I only need three years worth of math and science so yeah that's all I'm taking! So, I have absolutely no math or science this year! No crunching #'s, no annoying equations, and no fractions! Yippeee!!! I mean, i do well in math(mostly B's). I just hate actually doing it! I really think that I'm most lazy when I'm in math class. Last year, I had Algebra 2 and it took every fiber in my body sometimes to get me to even begin one of those math problems. It was such a chore! But, I ended the year with a B, so I was satisfied!
Anyway, I am going to miss science, :(. I just didn't have any room for it because i wanted to do intern. I'm going to be interning at the hospital. As long as I don't have to do a physical examination of a man's prostate, then it should be fun!
So yeah-just another year of high school drama! But, i can't wait to see my friends again! My family and I have been moving ALL summer so i haven't had a chance to see them. :( Oh well! A week to go!

Are You Just a Hookup?

I am a single eighteen year old, and many may deem that as pure suckage(meaning: just put suck and garbage together). But, honestly, the single life is pretty sweet. I don't have to worry about ...anything, considering you have to put your all into a high school relationship. For those of you who go through guys like toilet paper, don't you just hate the pressure and the obligation...don't you hate getting hurt in the end? I mean, yeah, i am boy crazy, but I'm not crazy!

But, anyway, I think I'll just stay "sober" until college and resist getting drunk from the cup of romance, if you know what I mean. Guys only want one thing from us girls anyway! Screw that! I say peace for virginity(the peace sign looks like a V!-and much kudos to Amanda!) and wait until your married people!

But, some guys are really sweet and may actually wanna wait as well...man, that was really hard to say! Cuz, you ever notice how when a girl appears easy(or is known to be) she gets all the guys? She's just a hook-up-a quick thrill. She's revealing, somewhat mean, sexually agressive, and usually drunk.

But, if you actually care about yourself, think! First of all, if you are going to have sex before marriage, make sure the guy is really who you think he is. And second of all, take the relationship seriously. Seriously, I see it all the time-i have a friend who was going out with a guy yada, yada, yada she cheated on him a couple of times. You gotta love her though- she's actually changed quite a bit and she learned her lesson. Why? Well, i think she realized that if she had taken the relationship more seriously, they probably would have lasted!

Please don't underestimate me-I've been watching from the sidelines for years and I see things(some of which I don't really wanna see) that those within the relationship may not see. If you wanna be more than just a one night stand, or a hook-up, be sweet, accepting, adorable, goal oriented, respectful, and have morals. Don't have STD's! Just a few words from a happy single chick! :) !

What's in My Purse

You know how Al Pacino said "Say hello to my little friend!"? Well...my purse is my little friend-it's always at my side and it has everything that I need. I don't know about you, but I more than often bring my purse to school than my text book-it's my "arm candy"! I have TONS of purses(I don't even use all of them) , but the one below is what I happen to be using right now. I got it at a neat little church yard sale for just 50 cents-just another "new thing" for school(all my other new school stuff will be in a later post!)! But, anyway, I put all my purses to good use and this one is no different. Below is what I usually keep in my purse. Oh, and there's actually ALOT more in the abyss called my purse, but I'm too lazy to take pictures of all of it!

One Wish For California Graduates

I heard this recently on 20/20. Apparently, California seniors ALL expect to get some form of plastic surgery as soon as they graduate! It's so sad-both males and females demand plastic surgery BEFORE they even think about going to college! I never thought that the superficiality over there was that bad, but then again it's the silicone capital of the world. But, the worst part about it is that the parents agree. It's crazy! No honey, you don't need a big career. You need big boobs...try to imagine your parents saying that! Honestly, I think it's kind of loony! Are they from another planet? Seriously, though, my family and I went there when I was about 6 or 7(somewhere around there) and I hardly remember anything anout the place(and we stayed there for about 6 months!). All I do remember however, is how fake everyone looked. Not to mention, that guy who was screaming that he had a dollar bill... and that woman who insisted that my stepdad was George Clooney and that he had maliciously beat her when they were together...see what I mean!? Anyway, i think it's very sad and scary. I live here in Indiana and we're way behind California-they're like ten years ahead of us! The scary thing is that we'll eventually catch up with them. Ahhh! Real Monsters! Help!
