Decorating

Wow, it's been awhile, hasn't it? Recently I've been wanting to get into blogging again, and since this is already set up, I figure I'll at least get started before I put effort into making a new one only to forget about it again.

Since I last posted, I have started a new journey of my life that is called university. For the entirety of the first semester, and a month into my second semester, I left my side of the room pretty much bare of decorations. There is a huge fabric corkboard that covers the majority of the wall in the room, clearly for the purpose of hanging up posters, pictures, lights, etc. Except, I hardly used it. I knew it would have to be taken down at the end of the year, and kind of didn't see the point. The most colorful thing I had on my side was a bright yellow notice for when rental books were due, and a postcard promoting the Adobe creative cloud.

My roommate, on the other hand, totally loved decorating and fully decked out the room when the holidays came around. I was in full support of this and loved it, even though my side was quite lackluster.

Our room during the holidays! My side is on the right.

She even put wrapping paper on our door, but I didn't get a picture of that, however, I did get a picture of the strings of hearts that she draped on our door.

So when I quickly went home one evening, I decided that I would bring some posters and prints back to school with me and to hang on my wall, and I'm really glad I did. It instantly put me in a good mood and it made me really happy. It provided a sense of familiarity and reminded me of what I love. Plus, it makes me side of the room a lot more colorful. I wish I had done it sooner, because I've been struggling a lot since I came to college, and I think this would've made me feel better. No use crying over spilled milk though, since I have it up now, and I'm really happy it is.
