Epic Dorm Room Tansformation
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
I graduate in two days, and this last year I actually lived in a senior door. Last year I lived in off campus House, but this year I opted to move back into a door. Have to worry about paying my Internet bill, things like that. Since I was living in a dorm this year, I knew that I wanted to deck it out, head to toe, you know? Total makeover. One thing that I really wanted to do was make sure that I did it like cheaply and affordably, because I'm leaving after a year, and I don't know how much I'm gonna people's equipment. So hear my secrets on how I decked out my room for really, really cheap. So when you look in the store, it's kind of terrifying little boxes, suitcases, clothing, things that I haven't touched in year. Toughs does supply each room with a bed, a desk, a dresser, and I think that's it. I needed a lot of decorations all the way back in freshman year. One of things that my roommate and I really like to do for her door is just take everything that was important to us throughout the years ticket, or like a Polaroid or like a note that someone wrote you and hang that up. I have compiled a lot of stuff from the past four years, actually, and hung, These posters are all from. So each year we make posters for each other for swimming. So I did this last year, but I also was hanging my sunglasses on it. A big fan of this was from Big Con a couple of years ago. This, I believe, was from him that since freshman year of college. So one thing that I knew that I needed in my room was a bunch of neon signs. I have a neon sign sophomore year that I got from a company called Neon and F G. And it said you 1000 wagering love it, and I'm obsessed with it. I've been so sad about it ever since the beginning of this year. I ended up getting all of the signs of my room combined for about $200. I actually headed over to ebay dot com. Another thing I knew I was gonna do is that I was gonna put pictures up everywhere. If you are looking to make like a disposable looking wall but not trying to pay for disposal, I have a fantastic app that I have been using since freshman year. I have books of photos like from each month from From Freshman Year. Another thing I knew that I wanted a bunch of was plants. Plants completely changed the absolute feel of a room, and they make it so great. So much more like natural feeling, especially because in this room the light is like there is no natural light is terrible. You know, a lot of things in my room come from Amazon. So what I did last year's I hung above my bed and then in the little holes eyesight, polar. Because I hate overhead. Light in the storm's really just great for setting the another thing that I literally stand our candles. If I could like candles in my dorm, they would have been great to have freshman year cover up the smell of my roommates feet. Maybe one thing that I absolutely wanted so badly for this route was a floor to ceiling mirror that you just, like prop up against the wall That, like everybody in our house, I think they're beautiful and different tasks. I think they were each $10 1 thing that wasn't great is that I thought that they were re attachable by, like, stickiness away. What I did was I went and I bought a ton of command strips and Velcro thing puts four or six pieces of Velcro on the back of each one, and I welcomed them to the wall. I also got this thing I would say halfway through the year, because I was super unorganized. It has been fantastic, totally recommend having a big calendar in your room. So I took one out of the hallway and I put it in my room. The mini for jihad I actually got for free because it was one of my friends, but it had, like, black mold in its They were just gonna throw it out. If you're looking for cheap mini fridges, definitely hit up upperclassmen and kids that are older than you when you move out of dorms, oftentimes people get rid of so you can definitely get them really cheap. Anyway, the overarching moral of the story is that the thing that I found is that the way to make your dorm the most homey for you is to just surround yourself with things you love and things that Are you fucking kidding me? The way to make the space someone that you want to be is to just surround yourself with things you love and things that mean something to you. People come into my room and they're absolutely shocked at how much I have up and how like home it isn't have great aesthetic is quoting other people. What is one thing that you need for your door? Also, if you have any questions about anything else or about college or about where I got things, just leave them down below.
