Although we are passed the busy holiday season, February is the month of Valentine&#8217;s day, so I decided I should tell you about holidays on campus.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>If you think you&#8217;ll have to give up the spirit of the holidays after moving into the dorms, think again, it&#8217;s always festive!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76\" style=\"width: 276px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-76\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/kyla\/files\/2023\/02\/valentines-decor-276x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"276\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/kyla\/files\/2023\/02\/valentines-decor-276x300.jpg 276w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/kyla\/files\/2023\/02\/valentines-decor-942x1024.jpg 942w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/kyla\/files\/2023\/02\/valentines-decor-768x835.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/kyla\/files\/2023\/02\/valentines-decor-300x326.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/kyla\/files\/2023\/02\/valentines-decor.jpg 1104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Valentine&#8217;s decor in my dorm that I found in the Target dollar section<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite things is decorating for each holiday and season.
