Show off Your Personality with Fun Dorm Room Decorations

Think of the walls of your new dorm room as a blank canvas which can be transformed into a snapshot of who you are and what you like through dorm décor. Because space is limited, opt for a digital photo frame so that you can show off all 580 pictures from your senior trip. Posters and artwork say a lot about you — just make sure that they don't leave holes or marks in the walls so that you don't get charged later on. Most dorm rooms are a lovely shade of drab grey — add some color or school spirit with an area rug. Sure you have ten widgets on your computer helping to sort out your busy social and academic life, but calendars (yes, the kind you can write on) is still a great way to notate important events, even if your hard drive dies. A cool looking wall clock is both a dorm room decoration, but will also help get you to class on time.
