College Dorm

So, I just finished my first year college. I lived on campus and I am living on campus again this year. My best friend asked me to do a blog about things you need for a dorm. Not only things you need, but how to do it in a cute and fun way. I attend Texas Sate University in San Marcos, and the dorm I live in was comminity style.

So there are a couple of things that you should have in my opinion.

The Basics

• Bedding
• Most college dorm will have twin size beds. 
• Go in to shopping for your dorm with a color or theme in mind. 
• It helps tie everything together and make it feel like home a little more.
• If you have a roommate and you want to collaborate y'all's decor make sure you talk with them, and come up with something that you both like. 
• Yes, you both will be living there, but you also want to come back to a place that you can call your own. 
• Most store will sell sets, where everything from the fitted sheet to the and pillowcases and comforter are all in the same bag. 
• Ranging form 20$'s and up. 
• Clothing
• You will need to bring everything you will need for the semester.
• I live in Texas, so i need a wide range of clothes because the weather is so random!
• If you live in an area that has rain a lot, rain boots a rain coat and an umbrella will make walking to class in the rain a little more bearable.
• SHOES! 
• I brought all of my shoes and I were them all, you will never regret bringing that extra pair of shoes.
• Bathroom.
• There is a wide range of bathrooms on campus. It may be community, or it could be suit style.
• SHOWER SHOES! Never risk it, you do not want to get a fungus!
• More than two towels, I personally have three of each of my towels! 
• When you buy stuff for college, I suggest you buy in bulk and get it out at once so you are not going back and forth to the store every month!
• Decore!
• I brought things that make me fill at home. That way when I wake up I fell safe and at home not in a random place!
• Keep your roommate in mind when you decorate. You might not want them to be offended by something. It is better to play it safe and ask.
