My First Dorm-Home


Dorms are what some may call a home away from home. But is it really? Many people leave their hometowns and go to new cities, states, maybe even countries. But initially it is not anything close to you're home..... yet.

Dorms are you're first breath of freedom. No parents telling you to come home at a certain time, no adult telling you to clean you're room (Yeahhhh Mom, of course my room is clean!) but it's more than just a room you sleep in. This is you're first time to express yourself!

Of course there are limits. You can't make holes in the wall, you can't hang things from the fire sprinklers etc etc. But why focus on the 100 things you can't do and instead focus on the 1,000,000 things you can!

I hope to explore ways that I have created a bland space and turned it into a place I am willing to call home. The picture is actually my second dorm room. (I'm currently living in my third dorm room).
