Better Late Than Never! How to: Make Your Dorm Room Aesthetic

Whether it’s eating cup ramen at 2 a.m. or dancing to your favorite rage break-up playlist at midnight with your roommates — your room is the spot. Your spot! So, of course it makes complete sense to drop everything from your consulting comp to cramming for exams (yes, I have three exams next week ALREADY), and revamp your space!

Still not satisfied? Buy or Facebook Marketplace a cute rug, get seasonal decor (it’s almost spooky season!!), or hang all those keychains you’ve collected over the years. Consider printing a photo of your favorite professor to manifest that “A,” or find a lifesize Harry Styles cardboard cutout to greet your guests in the common room. Quote a Dean Khurana speech and frame it. The options are endless — let this be a ~transformative~ experience.
