Celebrating Holidays in the Dorms

One of my favorite things is decorating for each holiday and season. Although we are passed the busy holiday season, February is the month of Valentine’s day, so I decided I should tell you about holidays on campus.

As I mentioned before, I love to decorate, so as you can imagine my dorm room is fully decorated, even for the holidays. The target dollar section is where I find cheap holiday decor, perfect for a dorm. I always grab one of the five-dollar holiday pillows and a few other small items, just to get in the spirit of the holiday. I find that decorating makes it feel more like home.

Not only is my dorm decorated for holidays, but the dining halls here on campus are almost always decorated for a holiday or event. The most recent decorations have been for the Chinese New Year. In addition, I can recall the dining halls being decorated for the Fall season, homecoming, and Christmas. In the dining halls, they always find a reason to decorate and celebrate which is fun. I think it creates a welcoming environment for the students!

If you think you’ll have to give up the spirit of the holidays after moving into the dorms, think again, it’s always festive!
