What are some fun things to buy for college?

Hey y'all, I'll be moving to college in like half a year and I'm already hyped for dorm life. I want to make my place a mini haven and also a great spot for my squad to chillax. Any suggestions on what are the most fun and thus must-have items to deck out my dorm room? Thanks in advance.

Absolutely, getting ready for college life is an exciting endeavor! When it comes to making your dorm room the squad's favorite chill-spot, keep in mind that the necessities should be sorted first, but beyond that, there's plenty of room to add unique elements to make your dorm pop.

A mini fridge could be a fun go-to item for late-night discussions or food parties. Not only does this allow you to stock snacks and drinks, it is also handy for leftovers.

Adding a cozy rug might seem odd, but trust me, it dramatically enhances the comfort and aesthetic of any dorm room. They are also functional - reducing noise from footsteps and adding warmth to cold dorm floors.

Posters of your favorite movies, bands, or art prints could brighten up the dorm room walls. They're not only an excellent way to share your interests and personality, but they also make the space feel more like home.

Bright and soft string lights are great for night chats and movie nights or simply lounging around your room. They can change the whole ambiance of the room and make it feel cozier and more inviting.

Small couches or comfortable floor cushions can be significant if your dorm allows them. This provides more seating options for when you have friends over and makes the room feel like a lounge right away.

Board games or a mini game console could also offer additional conversation starters and fun nights with friends. They serve as a good break from the usual homework and study sessions.

Also, having a Bluetooth speaker should be on your list. Music not just enhances the ambiance but can get your friends moving for an impromptu dance party!

Lastly, always remember to check the dorm rules regarding what's allowed and what's not. This is particularly important for electrical items. Enjoy mapping out your new space and good luck with your move!
