Thanksgiving is just around the corner and being away from home during the holidays can be a little lonely. Everyone knows the dorms aren’t the greatest place to live, but really, it’s what you make of it. It’s time to get festive and start feeling cozy, especially during the holidays! Here are a few creative and easy ways to get your dorm ready for Thanksgiving.
Decorate Your Dorm Room
For starters, decorate your dorm room with autumn colors! Use colors like yellow, red, orange, and green to bring out that Thanksgiving vibe. Get creative and cut out autumn colored leaves and pumpkins to put around your room. You can dangle them across your dorm with string, or simply stick them on the walls. Don’t forget about those hand-traced turkeys you made in elementary school! It’s super fun and brings you back to those warm childhood memories! You can display your cute little turkeys around your door to show off your festive spirit.
Another addition in preparing for the holiday is to buy those adorable tiny pumpkins to place them around your room. You can get them at a local grocery store, or even at a pumpkin patch! They’re cheap and will definitely accent your dorm room perfectly for the season.
Finish your room off with fall-scented candles to give that special touch! My personal favorite scent is the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin candle, which can be purchased from Bath and Body Works along with other Fall scented candles for $5.00 limited time only! If you are on a budget, make sure to be aware of any upcoming holiday sales. This is one of the best ways to create that Thanksgiving ambiance.
Its that time of the year to be thankful and spend with the ones your love. Decorate your dorm room with your roommates! These quick easy tips will not only bring some bonding time with your roommates, but will give you that homey holiday feel for this upcoming Thanksgiving!
