College is so much fun and one of the most fun parts is decoration your dorm room. I remember when I was planning my move freshman year I kept checking my dorm room checklist and I had so many DIY dorm decor ideas that I wanted to make for my new space. It is generally a really small space that you will have so it is really important to make it feel cozy and not cramped. For me, it was the first time I ever had to share my room so I definitely wanted my side to be full of DIY dorm decor that I absolutely loved.
