It's that time of year again. With college move-in day rapidly approaching, there can be so much to think about. Whether you are a freshman on your own for the first time or a returning student digging into your major, everyone needs a space to call their own. Do you have everything you need to transform your college dorm room into a cozy, cool environment?
Living on your own can be an exciting, but stressful transition. Gone is the safety net of home, as you get ready to spread your wings, but the thrilling part is that you have a whole new space to decorate. Your dorm room is your safe haven and a place to express your personal style. Complicating matters a bit is that it also needs to be your bedroom, study, and kitchen in one. After all, who wants to go all the way to the cafeteria for a late-night snack?
