Junior Year Dorm Tour
Hello loves, I wanted to do my own little edition of a dorm tour just because I wanted to have this on here so I can reflect and look back on this and think back of junior year of university but I also wanted to post this because I am hoping it might help some of you on what to bring or even how to decorate your dorm when you start college because I know it kind of took me a while to get the hang of it. So let's get started!
This year I lived in a small little apartment with 3 other girls, I had my own room and them three shared what is called a large triple. In our apartment we had a kitchen, a living room, a dining area, a balcony, a bathroom, the two rooms and shelves in the hallway. I only took pictures of my room and my shelf because by the time I thought up this idea and took pictures, the other girls were packing up so all the other areas were kind of a hot mess. But we also didn't really decorate the other areas so hopefully with my room pictures it is plenty.
When you walk into my room, there's a tiny "hall" and my desk is the first thing you see/walk into. From left to right you have like the 3 pieces of furniture in my room that come with the dorm, we have the desk with a book shelf and a chair, then we have my drawer with 3 drawers, and then my bed.
My desk and bookshelf were more for decoration lol but it's only because the bookshelf took over a good amount of the desk so it was hard to spread out my stuff when trying to study but it's fine. But on top of the bookshelf are my lovely GIGANTIC stuffed animals that have been given to me, I have a curious george, a winnie the pooh and my giant peep are usually all up there. On my bookshelves is just the usual, a printer, my accordion folders, some books and notebooks, my jewelry, and nail polishes lol. And in my desk I just kept my pencils, pens, planner supplies and make up. For decoration I just used my pillow pet, some Polaroids and family picture and some of my other smaller plush toys, also a B wood initial.
On top of my drawers I have a poster of Blake Griffin, the book I am currently reading and some fun little notebooks that I try to write in every day or as often as I can. In the drawers I just had my intimates lol, my pants and bottoms, and then my pj's.
My bed just has a white comforter from Target, my fluffy blanket that was a Christmas gift but I know they have them like everywhere, including Target, my two body pillows and smaller pillow are from Target, I have my teddy bear that I was given as a child so I have no clue where it's from. My winnie the pooh pillow pet and the giant peep that is usually on my bookshelf. On that wall I have a glow in the dark star Josh gave me, a collage of a few of our pictures Josh's mom made for us, some garland from Target, and just some christmas lights also bought at Target. Under my bed is all storage. I have my socks, all my extra/back-up things like extra sheets, extra towels, extra shampoo and extra detergent, just things like that.
My closet, holy, it is so big and thank goodness!!!! In there I simply have, from left to right, jackets and some sweaters, under that I have my mini fridge, then I have a closet organizer with more sweaters and then I use the bottom three for work clothes, clothes I plan on wearing the next day and work out clothes. Then we go into long sleeves, short sleeves, dresses, rompers and then tank tops and things. Under that is my hamper and shower caddy. And then all across on the top are shoes. That little wall to the right is where I have a collage of my friend's daughter (my niece) and I like to hang my keys there so whenever I leave, I have to pass them and then it's almost virtually impossible to forget them.
And then the last wall, which is wall to the left as soon as you walk in, just has a few things hung. First I have a little drawing Josh did for me, my mirror with Christmas lights hung around, a Starbucks ornament, a cheer thing I got senior year of high school, prom picture, leopard ears from Urban Outfitters, wooden bees I painted and bought from Walmart, my whiteboard calendar from Target, an old photo strip of my sisters and I, and lastly one more Blake Griffin/Clippers poster.
Lastly on my hallway bookshelf I just have shoes, textbooks, movies and some of my hats.
This was like completely different than anything else I have done but I really hope everyone enjoyed this! I hope you liked seeing my room and hopefully this inspires all of you some way.
