I know I’m pretty late to the back-to-school party at this point, but I always forget that everyone else goes back to campus a whole month before I do! (Quarter system life.) Nonetheless, I figured it would be fun and helpful to share a post detailing some of my dorm room essentials from over the years, since moving in and decorating is always my favorite part of a new school year. I’ll be a senior this fall, and all of these items are pieces I got freshman year—they’ve stood the test of time and have proved useful every living arrangement since.

For those of you who are new, I attend a university that’s on the quarter system, and I have majors in Criminology and Geography and minors in Entrepreneurship and Psychology.

The day is finally here!! If you read my weekly recap posts, you’ve probably heard me mention a mysterious birthday celebration I’ve been planning for my friend over the past several months. The ‘party’ (term used loosely, considering there were only two of us in attendance) happened on Saturday and could not have been more of a success! I’ve always loved party planning, and the pandemic restrictions have added a whole new level of creativity to it (you may recall my free backyard ‘party’ post from over the summer). Obviously, this pandemic has crushed many 21st birthday dreams… so because my friend and I couldn’t go real bar hopping to celebrate her big day, I decided to bring the bar hopping to her!
