These Memphis College of Arts students are doing some really creative things with their dorm rooms. I’ve always admired a healthy sense of imagination.

I didn’t have the luxury of a dorm experience while I was in college.  I stayed at my parents’ house (albeit, rent free--so I guess there’s always a trade-off in life).  However, I always wanted to do something uniquely me to put my mark on my room.  For instance, I couldn’t change my wall colors, but I could put up decorative, expressive posters. I couldn’t change the way my shelves were arranged in my room, but I could fill them with rows and stacks of my favorite books.

Having a sense of self in whatever environment you live or work in is so important in feeling comfortable and having a productive, low-stress lifes.
