Move in day is always stressful for me not matter what grade! Freshman year was of course the most difficult since it was my first time moving into a dorm. This year it was a little bit better, but of course there were some bumps along the way. My Mom, Dad, and I spent about 8 hours today at the school unpacking boxes, organizing, and hanging up clothes. The biggest problem today was not having the correct tools to build the wardrobe I got from Ikea; causing us to have to make a last minute target trip. It's also so difficult to fit all my stuff in such a tiny room compared to living in a house haha!
Here's the luggage that I packed just for the flight down:
This year, luckily, I have a single so I didn't have to worry about taking up another persons space or being in the way. I was so excited for this, and to make my room completely my own. I wanted to make it a place that I could retreat to when I needed time alone to study or just relax. So, this summer I set out to make many different decorations for my room, and I am so happy with how they came out. I painted and crafted different pieces and I love how they all look hanging on the walls. My room is definitely girly, with all its pink, green, and navy accessories, but I couldn't be happier. I definitely feel at home, which is so important especially being hours from home.
I can't wait to start the school year on Monday! Only one more day of relaxation/trying to make the dorm room perfect. I'm sure this year will be great, even though I am a little nervous about taking organic chemistry this year! Wish me luck!
How do you make your dorm your own?
p.s. I will post pictures of my dorm when it is more organized and put together.
