Moving into a new place while starting a new school year can be terrifying. You are worried about classes, moving away from family, and into a new place with a roommate, you may not even know. What you don’t necessarily think about is that you can decorate and style your new room however you want!
Make fun out of having a new roommate! You and your roommate(s) can correspond using matching colors, sports teams, and matching objects while still making it special to you. “As we were deciding how we want to decorate, we decided on a base color of gray and white. Then, everyone got to pick a color for their side to give their area personality,” said Olivia LoPresti, Freshman Hospitality major. When LoPresti and her two other roommates moved in, the first thing they did was clean!
