Favorite three items:
- Wall decorations! I love the lights because they play a big role in making the dorm look comfortable and welcoming. Also, my posters are from my high school musicals that I was featured in, so they’re very important to me. Lastly, I have a picture frame collage of my family and friends.
- Vanity Mirror. It compliments the room!
- My bed. I find the colors are so pretty and it’s so comfortable.
