Are you excited about starting college and getting the opportunity to decorate your own dorm room? Well, if you’re someone who loves all things cozy and dreamy, then we have the perfect inspiration for you. This article is all about creating a cozy pink haven in your college dorm.
Color psychology tells us that pink is often associated with feelings of comfort, nurturing, and love. So why not infuse this soft and soothing hue into your dorm room to create a space that feels like a home away from home? Here are some ideas on how to achieve that cozy pink vibe:
1. Start with the basics:
Before diving into the decorative elements, it’s important to have a solid foundation. Opt for pink bedding – whether it’s a plush comforter or soft sheets – to instantly set the tone for your space. Pair it with white or metallic accents for an elegant touch.
2. Create a focal point:
Make a statement by investing in a pink accent wall or removable wallpaper. This will add depth and create visual interest in your dorm room. Alternatively, if painting or applying wallpaper is not allowed, consider using large fabric panels or tapestries to achieve a similar effect.
3. Layer textures:
To amp up the coziness factor, layer different textures throughout your space. Mix and match fluffy rugs, velvet cushions, faux fur throws, and knit blankets for an inviting atmosphere. Incorporate textured fabrics into curtains or blinds as well.
4. Fairy lights galore:
Nothing says “cozy” more than twinkling lights! Hang fairy lights along your walls or drape them over your bed frame for a magical touch. They will create an enchanting ambiance when you want to relax or study in the evenings.
5. Greenery overload:
Bring life into your space by adding plants and flowers in shades of green to contrast with the pink hues. Not only do plants purify the air, but they also provide a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. Consider low-maintenance options like succulents or small potted plants to keep it easy to care for.
6. Personalize with art and photos:
Hang up inspirational quotes or artwork that resonates with you on your walls. Frame some cherished memories by displaying photos of loved ones or adventures you’ve had. This will create a personalized touch and remind you of happy moments.
7. Utilize storage solutions:
A cluttered space can make even the coziest room feel chaotic. Invest in stylish storage solutions such as baskets or bins in shades of pink or complementary tones to keep your belongings organized and ensure a serene environment.
8. Don’t forget about aromatherapy:
Scent is often overlooked when designing a space, but it can greatly impact your mood and relaxation levels. Consider using candles, essential oil diffusers, or room sprays with calming scents like lavender or vanilla to create a spa-like atmosphere.
Remember, creating a cozy pink dorm room is all about making it your own personal sanctuary within the college walls. Have fun experimenting with different shades of pink and mix them with other comforting elements that reflect your personality. With these inspirations, you’ll be well on your way to a dorm room that feels like a warm hug every time you step inside.

There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . .

Description : Now in paperback--from the author of the acclaimed Whoredom in Kimmage, a moving, controversial, and supremely intelligent memoir of a bright and vulnerable teenager's hellish summer job. In 1978, Rosemary Mahoney, an aspiring young writer of seventeen, wrote her personal idol Lillian Hellman inquiring whether the famed woman of American letters might need domestic help for the summer. When Hellman responded affirmatively, Mahoney imagined an idyll on Martha's Vineyard of mentoring and friendship. But in reality Mahoney's summer unfolded into an exquisite and grueling exercise in humiliation at the hands of the acerbic Hellman and her retinue of celebrated acquaintances. By turns heartbreaking and uproariously funny, A Likely Story portrays the coming-of-age of a brilliant and troubled young woman--a universal tale of illusions shattered and an object lesson in the often misdirected search for heroes....

When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge....

Description : From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M...
