Transform Your College Room Into a Christmas Wonderland

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter.

Get yourself and your living arrangement in the Christmas spirit with the help of Target’s holiday decorations.

There is nothing quite like the holidays. A contagious lively spirit fills the air during the winter season. We have time off from school to spend at home with our families and friends who we haven’t seen in a long time. Everyone is filled with overwhelming excitement around gift-giving, and there is lots of anticipation about completing annual traditions. Even though most of us will leave campus in the middle of December once final exams conclude, we’ll still have time in Gainesville in which we can celebrate the holidays. It is up to us to get ourselves in the best mood before going home to celebrate. Our environment significantly impacts our ability to get into a cheery magical mood. According to the Newport Institute, an organized, clutter-free and welcoming room fully improves one’s mental health. Bright colors, natural light and incorporating nature into your space can help, too. It would be best if you improved your environment to enhance your well-being. Here are my favorite Target Christmas decorations that will get you and your college room in the unbeatable Christmas spirit:

1. 24” Unlit Tinsel Artificial Christmas Tree

What is more Christmas than a Christmas tree? I know that I am sad to miss decorating my family’s 12-foot Christmas tree that takes over our entire living room, so why not have my own? Target offers these artificial miniature Christmas trees in many colors, including pink, silver, gold, red, white, green and green with flocking. For only $10, you can have your own tree that you can decorate to your liking. Even better, this tree is small enough to fit on your desk or nightstand. You cannot go wrong with this Christmas classic. 

2. 25ct Round Mini Christmas Tree Ornament Set

Decorate your miniature tree with these round mini ornaments ($5.00). This pack of 25 comes in eight colorways, including blue/beige, brights, gold, gold/red, metallic, pink/white, red/green/gold, red/white/silver, silver, blue/red/pink, red and black/white/gold. Of course, the pink/white pack is my favorite, and the ornaments will go perfectly on my pink miniature Christmas tree.
