Dorm Room Christmas Decorations

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (again).  Just because you are at college doesn’t mean that you have to cut back on the Christmas cheer. There are easy ways to make your room festive and spread the “jolly” to your hall mates.

Thanksgiving week is here!  There are 4 things you need to do this break!

 

1. Catch up with friends and family.  Make sure you're not too busy to sit down and catch up with those you love most.  Your parents would love to talk with you.  If you have some old friends, catch up with them too.

How to Survive a Roommate

 

No matter if you’re living with your best friend or a total stranger, or if you’re sharing a room or just sharing a suite: it’s probably going to be tough. It’s unlikely you and your roommate will be on the same page with everything. But have no fear: my handy dandy “talk it over” list is here.

 

Discuss when you both prefer to study (afternoon, late at night) and plan to be courteous of the other’s schedule.
