My Last Dorm Room?!

Hey y'all! (written on 8/23/16)

It's that time of the year again! I'm all moved and settled into my dorm for MY LAST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE. Y'all, it's finally here. I will graduate FROM COLLEGE in December. This is unreal. 

I begin full-fledged Student Teaching 4th grade on Monday and to say I'm nervous is an understatement. I'm not really sure how I can sum it up into one word...maybe terrifiedexcitedscared? That should do it. Open house is tomorrow and I'm anxious to meet my students and their families! 

I am already adapting to teacher life. As in I'm showered, in my PJ's, and in bed already. It's pretty fantastic, I won't lie.

I wanted to share with you all my room this year! Before the semester gets too crazy, I snapped some pictures of my dorm room and some of my favorite decorations I used this year. I reused a lot of my decorations from last year, but it's a completely different vibe and I love it! 

I'm in a new dorm building this year. It's still apartment style and I have my own room. I share the kitchen and living room with my 3 roommates and the bathroom with 1 roommate. The best part about this apartment is it has a washer and dryer! The last 3 years I have had to go downstairs or down the hall to the laundry room. This is by far the newest/nicest building I have lived in on campus. The only thing I don't love are the beige walls. It makes it feel really dark!




These are a couple of panoramic shots. Click on them to enlarge the images. The walls are a lot less decorated than last year, which is something I'm trying to get used to! I'm debating on whether or not I want to add more to them.

I reused my curtains, throw pillows, rug (not pictured), lamp, throw blanket, bulletin board, and much of the wall decor. I changed out the pictures in my frames and this gallery wall is a different arrangement than the last!






These shots are of some of my favorite pieces on the gallery wall! Here's a breakdown:

Gold 5x7 Frames - Dollar Tree
'Save the Mermaids' 5x7 Print - Pinterest
Whale Tail Hook, 'Mermaids Please Enter' Arrow + Gold Antelope Head Hook - Hobby Lobby
4x6 White Frames + White Oval Hanging Mirror - Walmart
Turquoise North Carolina Painting, Navy Striped Canvases, +Wreath - DIY



All of these 5x7 prints are courtesy of Pinterest. I didn't go for a specific theme this year, I think I told my mom I was wanting a 'woodland mermaid' feeling? I made the intuition print, but I found the quote on Pinterest. I love the monkey quote, it's one my mom says all the time!


Lar and I made these headboards over the summer while I was living with her for summer school. They were super easy! It's poster board, quilt batting, lots of staples, and fabric. Lars' has a cute gold and white pineapple print! It was time consuming, but so worth it. I think it makes the room feel cozy. My bedspread + curtains are from Target.


This step stool has been with me since Freshman year. It's had what feels like 10 different lives! It's originally from Target and was lime green, hot pink, and navy. I think my mom pulled off 4 or 5 different pieces of fabric when we recovered it to match my head board this go around. I love it! The fabric is from Hobby Lobby.

I'll be living in this happy, little room for about 4 months. I still can't believe graduation is so soon. I'm sure you'll be seeing/hearing me write/say that a lot from now until then! I'll get back to you when I'm ready to adult.
