The leaves barely get a tinge of orange before Walmart puts out their pumpkins and candy corn. Then you start raking a few leaves from your yard and the Christmas decorations are obnoxiously blinking their multi-colored lights and annoying songs through the Lowe\u2019s warehouse. This means that in the not-so-distant future, Target will display all their dorm decor, begging you to spend your graduation money on your new dorm room.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Your dorm room is a sanctuary: a home away from home. For many of us, it is the first time we can decorate our own space however we like. Take advantage of this opportunity! Your dorm room is not only the place where you will sleep, but it can also be a great space to invite friends over, have deep conversations with your roommate, and study for that big exam. So how do you create a dorm room that is cozy enough for a Sunday afternoon nap but also keeps you on track for your study goals?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Study Spaces<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As a college senior, I consider myself a professional studier.

The bright, cooler-tone built-in lights in your dorm room are perfect for checking for trash on your floor before room checks, but, if you are like me, it\u2019s not good for much else. I would recommend buying lamps and fairy lights to create a warmer atmosphere. I can\u2019t remember the last time my roommate and I used the \u201cbig lights,\u201d as we call them. The fairy lights are also perfect for staying up past your roommate\u2019s bedtime. Their soft glow allows you to see, but also lets your roommate sleep in peace. A desk lamp is also a good option. Scattering a few light sources around the room will help your room feel more like home.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3941 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cozy-Productive-Dorm-Room-Productive-Photo.jpg?resize=900%2C506&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Desk with computer, chair, fuzzy blanket, book shelves, plants.\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cozy-Productive-Dorm-Room-Productive-Photo.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cozy-Productive-Dorm-Room-Productive-Photo.jpg?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cozy-Productive-Dorm-Room-Productive-Photo.jpg?resize=700%2C394&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cozy-Productive-Dorm-Room-Productive-Photo.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cozy-Productive-Dorm-Room-Productive-Photo.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cozy-Productive-Dorm-Room-Productive-Photo.jpg?resize=120%2C68&amp;ssl=1 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Bring the Outside In<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When my roommate and I first moved into our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/student-life\/residence-life\/residence-halls\/printy-hall\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Printy Hall<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> room, I remember that our first must-have furniture purchase was a plant table. We went to Ikea together, awkwardly making small talk, and purchased a small white table that we covered with succulents. Bringing plants into your space provides fresh air and a feeling of cleanliness to your room. Plus, succulents and cacti are simple to keep alive and are easy decor items to purchase. If you want, you can even buy a fake plant instead &#8230; I won\u2019t tell!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Get Cuddly\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The advantage of studying in your dorm room is that you can get as cozy as you want. I have a fluffy blanket, fuzzy socks, and my favorite Packers sweatshirt that I pile on when I\u2019m reading for a long book report or studying with a Quizlet. Also, get a tea kettle or coffee maker.

In my busiest weeks, my desk looks like a tornado tore through all of my belongings. To keep your dorm room cozy and productive, keeping out clutter is a great place to start. Clean your desk off each night to put away belongings you don\u2019t need in your room. You will be living in close quarters with others, so your brain will feel freer when your room is clean.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Music\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When I study, I alternate between different music choices. Especially early in the morning, I opt for chill lo-fi or jazz to keep the mood light. Other times, I listen to instrumental rock to ratchet up the intensity, especially when I\u2019m on a tight deadline. Whatever music you listen to, find a way to set that up in your dorm room. My record player has been a great addition to the ambience, and my roommate set up an extra monitor to play a fireplace loop for cozy vibes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">With these tips, I believe your dorm room setup will help you have a warm, cozy, and productive environment for an awesome school year academically and socially!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether you&#8217;re studying for a test or chatting with hall mates or unit mates, it&#8217;s important to have a space that is both comfortable and functional.
