My dorm room is essentially just a large, beige box, so…it doesn’t exactly foster holiday spirit. How can we make our college dayz festive? Here are some ideas:

1. Grab yoself a holiday Starbs or any sort of winter-y drink! “A trenta, non-fat, three espresso shot, Oprah pumpkin spice peppermint mocha puh-lease!”

2. Decorate your door as if it is the door to your house! Or as if it is both the door to your house and a fireplace (see photo). Oops! Don’t set off the fire alarm!

 

3. Decorate the inside of your dorm room. Hang some lights! Sneak in a Hannukah bush or Christmas tree! Get creative with your ornaments! Make a tree out of yo laundry!

4. Or build a “chemis-TREE.”

5. Take a stroll through a Winter Wonderland a.k.a. Forest Park!

6. Or take a stroll down The Loop to see some festive lights. (All strolls can be taken with hot chocolate in hand! #multitasking)

 

7. Coerce a friend with a car into driving you around Clayton to see more holiday lights!

 

8. Get snugglay snugglay and watch some holiday movies!

 

9. Give your friends presents! Or organize a “Secret Snowflake” with your friends and only give one of them a present!

 

Did somebody say Feliz Navidad??
