Returning To The Perils Of Dorm Life

On Sunday the dorms once again were open, we as students who pay a huge fee for staying in these things in the first place get kicked out during holidays.... arg. Anyway I moved in finally! It was nice to return to my cramped communal living quarters once again to look forward to a new semester of art and stress! Can you hear the excitement?

But to add some more character to my dorm room, I got this cute little piece of art for Christmas from my mom! It was so cute!

Another thing on the bright side of life was the fact we got sushi today at work!!! how awesome is that!!!! But on the flip side it was because it was my boss's going away party :( We all got a tad emotional, we almost had to break out the tissue boxes!

And next a fun fact from college life. The travel mugs we recive for living in the dorms aren't just swell for filling with liquids they are great for smuggling things out of the dinning halls! So what is orange all over and three can fit in my mug? ORANGES! The tiny ones that is! I was kinda proud of my discovery!

Best Monday Ever! (up until now at least)

No school!!! yay! So that means I have one of the best Mondays ever! It also means I get time to blog! (and work on homework of course...)
So I finally got around to taking pictures of a DIY project I did to add some personality to my dorm room. Its a super easy and quick project! In my room there is a protruding part of the ceiling that was just begging to be the home of something creative. I wanted to display some of my pictures on a line with clothes-pins all cute-like.

So I gathered my supplies and craftily began my DIY mission!

You will need:

ribbon or string
clothes pins
sticky-hooks or nails
and pictures!

Some ribbon or fishing line works good, I like ribbon better cause well its just cuter!

Clothes-pins, you can get plain ones, or I found these really cute shabby chic ones at Michaels!

And of course you need pictures! I got mine printed at Costco, they are 4 by 6 and I picked the option of the white boarder.

I didn't have to use the sticky hooks because somebody at one time put some nails in the wall! So just tie the ribbon around the nail or hook.

You attach the picture with a clothes pin, and ta-da! Super easy!

Its a great fast, and simple way to add some personality to your dorm room or any room!

Also today I found the coolest site that lets you put together awesome outfits as a collage! It also tells you were the clothes are from and how much they are. It kinda reminds me of paper dolls, except its digital and theres no doll... Its super fun though! They have all kinds of clothes! Even jean skirts, I was very impressed! The website is polyvore.com
