Must Haves For Back To School

If your heading off to dorm-life, you may and may not be surprised to know that you will have an absolutely bare room. So, since you have a clean slate to start with, why not decorate and accessorize the way you want it to look? With Target's low prices, this is doable on a tight budget.

MUST HAVES:

Charging Station - Keep your phones and iPods in a neat compartment. This comes in different colors and is perfect for a college student, it also reduces clutter, while keeps your possessions in one place.

White Board/Calendar - Keep things simple by hanging this up, and jotting down your things-to-do on it, one full month calendar.

Computer Chair - If you're a pink fan like me, this is a cheap, adorable computer chair that you must get. Must. [$29.99]

Computer Desk - This desk is a very nice choice for dorm living. It's white, it will go with anything (same with black). it's sleek and stylish, while not breaking the bank. Also, who can resist free shipping??? [$119.99]

Over-The-Door-Mirror - Simple. Hang this on a door and your good to go. [$14.99]

Sleek, Chic Floor Lamp - I want one of these myself, these will fit perfectly in a tight spot. [$29.99]

Mali-Flex Futon - 2 words. Absolutely Adorable. Cute, cute. This is a very neat futon, use it as a bed or a couch. [$199.99]

Closest Shelves - These give you a lot of extra space and are cheap to boot! [$19.99]

KitchenAid Toaster - It's pink too. That's all I'm sayin'. [$49.99]

It Wouldn't Be College Living Without A Microwave - Enough said. You will be using this morning, noon and night. [$62.99]

Coffee Pot - Save your money, don't give into those large chains that charge $5.00 for a small cup of, what you presume is coffee. Make it for yourself, use a nifty thermos, and your out the door. [$24.99]

Digital Scrapbooking

If you like scrapbooking, you should try digital scrapbooking. It's fun! There's so many options and different looks to chose from - lots of them are *FREE*, which makes everything better, huh?

I recommend Shabby Princess for some really neat sets, tons of them are free!

Have fun!
