DORM ROOM HACKS | easy decorating tips & tricks

[@sierraann1543]

Ooo I would love too see a “what clothes you need to bring to college” video ! I don’t wanna over pack clothes but I’m not sure what I’ll need 😬

[@kearaspencer2218]

Sierra Ann omg trueee

[@foreverXcinderella]

Don't bring a shit load of cute clothes. I'd say bring one nicer dress, one pair of heels, and maybe a couple pretty blouses that mix and match with your jeans. I brought so much cute stuff to college and ended up bringing it all home at Christmas. Bring comfortable clothes to school. Lots of tshirts, lots of comfy jeans. You can still look cute AND be comfy. You'll never want to dress cute for class. You're going to be walking across campus, it'll be early, you'll be busy. Busy people don't want to be super uncomfortable.

[@nadia-yx6re]

Bring lots of jeans and leggings and shirts. Sweatshirts to throw on when it's cold, t-shirts and a couple of jackets. Pack a couple of nice dresses and maybe a pair of heels. Cozy shoes are ESSENTIAL. Get shoes that aren't just for looks but actually comfortable 😂 Just bring clothes that match, don't overdo it.

[@mazzy_vc]

Hannah Hart you have 40 shirts?? My whole wardrobe isn’t even 40 items 😂

[@cassiecovey2265]

For anyone looking at this now, don’t forget bar shoes. College bars and frats and shit are gross. Don’t wear nice shoes to that type of stuff.

[@semicolon.advocate]

~Notes for my own reference~ Tips: 1. Store things in cute baskets 2. String lights 3. Cover ugly furniture with cute throw blankets 4. Decorative pillows 5. Get a cute duvet cover 6. The color yellow 7. Rearrange furniture to optimize space 8. Get a comfortable chair 9. Don't overpack/overdecorate 10. Pick up supplies by your school 11. Get a phone wallet 12. Tie your key around your wrist 13. Keep healthy snacks in room Decorations: 1. Letterboards 2. Greenery 3. Salt lamp 4. Get a rug

I start nursing school in fall and i'll be living on campus. I'm excited to meet new people but nervous for the school material

[@georginahaz902]

I hope everything is going well with nursing! It’s a hard major, but we appreciate all you do ❤️

[@mikemortonidentityv1210]

How is it?

[@gulpispulp]

Damn I just changed my major from nursing to English 😂

[@TheLivi121]

Could you do a video about rooming with someone else? Like tips for communication, anything you wish you had done differently, what surprised you about the experience, how you had to adapt, etc.

[@cassiemattina2406]

* brings salt lamp down to UTK and scrapes salt onto food *

[@MacyThompson]

u know me so well.

[@Isabella-dm5ok]

can you make a video about the outfits you would wear to different events at college?

[@sophiagorlitz3944]

I’m literally 13 and already planning out what my dorm room is going to look like 💀

[@awk4722]

I did the same thing, and now I'm 18 and still planning it lol. Time goes crazy fast sometimes

[@lhovelock135]

BRUH SAME

[@Miabiediheihrurrrf]

good, time goes by fast asf

[@VioletWeirdo_]

Always fun to plan ahead and be ambitious :)

[@KimmiePie1]

As you should💯😄 I’m 18 and time honestly snuck up on me...college came so soon 🥲

[@turtleduckoomii]

Basically my college arranges our roommate and what dorm we go to and announce it about a month early, so Me and my roommate actually met up together before we moved in so we could get to know each other, come up with a aesthetic we wanted for our dorm & list down things we thought we needed like appliances etc and it was a life saver so If you can I recommend meeting up with your roommate before hand

[@boredishfish2717]

my new favorite quote: "express yourself in your pillows" :)

[@Ginnybellebeauty]

Pretty much all my decorations are posters or things to go on the wall, so I’ll have a fun wall but no space taken up by decorations so that’s nice

[@rachelfahy7795]

I'm going on a residential and omg the dorm rooms are like hospital beds so I wish my rommies are gonna keep their beds cute aesthetic and neat and btw ur helping me alot

[@sarahshiferaw5741]

Excited to decorate my dorm and make it all homey (even though I’ll be roughly 400 miles away from home)

[@alisonjaphet8694]

Been Obsessed with your videos lately! I'm moving to UT Austin next year and they've been a big help with decorating my room!

[@rebekahcashen8363]

These were such cute tips! Your freshman dorm looked amazing

[@priman3760]

Hi! I just saw your video in my recommended playlist and it was so informative. I leave for college in a few weeks and I’m kind of nervous about the dorms in terms of space and storage, but your video has really calmed my fears. thank you!

[@atlaslexx]

*_I’m not even in college, why am I watching this?_*

[@jenniferw.7855]

I'm in college, but I live at home. Still, I watch.

[@chayseingram3709]

Overpriced Baguette same

[@aurora_something]

I'm not even going to go to college, why am I watching this?

[@sadiemaxfield7566]

I’m 14 and in the middle of a pandemic... why am I watching this? Idk I’m bored

[@gabbiehannahsmentalbreakdo3887]

Im 14.... idk why im here...but whatever

[@elliewalstrom2270]

Eating healthy in college! Yes please do that!

[@nikaaasohee]

[@samanthaosuna9406]

I am going to San Diego State in the fall and I am so excited. I come from a small town so I am really excited to see what else the world has to offer

[@tctflower]

I’m going to the university of Georgia in the fall and I’m just so excited for literally everything even my classes lol

[@kaelynnpatrick1031]

I appreciate this video so much !!!!!! I’m moving from California to London, England in September for college so I’m going to be in another country for three years away from family and friends. Definitely needed tips to make it feel like my home away from home 🥺💗💗💗✨

[@jessicawise7486]

I love those ideas you gave. I thought that the killing two birds with one stone idea is a really good one.

[@caitlinkittykatie]

About to head back for my second year and I wish I would’ve seen videos like this earlier. Your dorm becomes your home away from home and if you don’t make it special it can make life more stressful. These are great tips to follow!

[@michelle01chow]

I am going to University of Pennsylvania next year and am about to be broke bc tuition so the gift cards would most definitely help me 😫😝❤️

[@lilythebigreddog7835]

Those dorm rooms are incredible 🥺

[@AJ-qz5qb]

Can someone please explain what a comforter is, that’s not a British thing I don’t understand?

[@emilypatton5914]

It's like a memory foam or like a bed topper as dorm beds are very uncomfortable

[@AJ-qz5qb]

I'm a fabulous potato ok cool 😎 thanks 🙏

[@evamoncada-sergian9306]

[@luciahodges899]

I am going to Santa Clara University!! My roommate and I have been planning our dorm since April. We are so excited! Thank you for the tips!

[@mercedesallain4881]

Omg yes to the phone wallet! I tried carrying mine around in like an id case that hooked to my lanyard and it’s such a pain to dig them out of a bag, about a month into the semester I switched to using a phone wallet and it made it so much easier!

[@laurenjackson8499]

I would love the “eating healthy in college” video

[@anabellehernandez3609]

AHH I love all of your videos and they give me a good idea of what dorming is like and what to expect next month when I move in.

[@PresFaith]

this vid is so helpful. i'm from the Netherlands and I'm going to Flagler College next month. i'm so excited !! especially for the weather. i suffer from winter depression and moving to Florida for 4 years is a relief, cause in the Netherlands the winter can stay for a v long period. i'm also hella excited about decorating my dorm, only problem is that i literally have to buy everything new, as i can't fit a lot in my suitcase. few questions: what do you do when you have to get out of the residence halls during the breaks and you can't go home? and how do you cope with being homesick?
