  1. There are plenty of comforting items that can really make your dorm feel like home! Here are some suggestions:

    1. Ambient Lighting: String lights, fairy lights, or a soft desk lamp can create a cozy atmosphere.

    2. Extra Blankets: A soft, oversized blanket or a cozy throw can make your bed feel inviting and warm.

    3. Pillows: Having a mix of pillows can add comfort and style to your bed. Consider decorative pillows or a body pillow for extra support.

    4. A Scented Candle or Diffuser: Pleasant scents can have a calming effect. Just make sure to check your dorm’s policies on candles!

    5. Personal Mementos: Photos, artwork, or small souvenirs can make your space feel more personal and remind you of home.

    6. Indoor Plants: Small plants can add life to your space. Consider low-maintenance options like succulents!

    7. Soft Rug: A small, plush rug can add warmth and comfort to your floor, making the space feel cozier.

    8. Sound Machine or White Noise App: These can help you sleep better by blocking out distracting noises.

    9. Comfy Chair or Floor Cushion: If space allows, having a comfortable place to sit and relax can be a great addition.

    10. Books or Journals: Having a few of your favorite books or a journal can be comforting and a nice way to wind down.

    11. Snack Station: Keep some favorite snacks on hand for late-night study sessions or comfort eating.

    12. Wall Decor: Posters, tapestries, or inspirational quotes can make your walls feel welcoming and reflective of your personality.

    Creating a cozy environment in your dorm can really help you feel more at home and relaxed—good luck setting it up!
