College Decor 101: Her Campus UGA's Guide to Athens

5/6/2012

We know that finding great dorm decor can be tough! So, here are a few tips to take your dorm room go from ho-hum to fabulously chic! Five ways to enhance your dorm room decor:

1. Lighting: The type of lighting you use in your room is key. Instead of using a regular desk or floor lamp, try using paper lanterns. They are affordable and come in many different patterns and shapes to fit your personal style. Check out this DIY lampshade that is both budget-friendly and stylish.

2. Wall Decals: A wall decal in the right place can make the difference between an average dorm and an awesome one. They are cheap and best of all, they are removable. We love this "Just Breathe" decal for only $25.

Why Do Nice Guys Finish Last?

4/19/2012

Have you ever heard the quote, "Nice Guys Finish Last"? Do you ever wonder why people believe this? 
Is it just me, or did it ever perplex anyone else that in Fresh Prince, Will Smith got all the girls while Carlton Banks was resigned to constant rejection and awkward jive dances? Especially since, on paper, Carlton is ideal. He's rich, educated and comes from a good family. 

I decided to do a little research on this "nice guy" predicament and figure out why they just can't seem to finish first. First and foremost, it's important to differentiate the "nice guy" from the "good guy". In my opinion, they are not the same. A "good guy" has all of the desirable qualities of a "nice guy" and all of the gumption of a "bad boy." Just add a dash integrity and southern charm and there you have it! 

On my quest to figure out the "nice guy" dilema, I asked a few girls around campus why they think nice guys finish last. To my surprise, I was met with much more disdain for the quentessencial "nice guy" than I expected. I'll admit, a small part of me expected to discover some sort of opposition to this idea of the "Socially Inhibited Nice Guy". There was none to be found. All of the girls I questioned agreed on one thing: "Bad boys" are hot.
