University Room Tour


Ok, so first of all apologies for the lack of blog posts of late.. I really am so shit at posting on a frequent basis! This last month has just been so hectic with moving into my new flat in Manchester ready to go back to the joys that are second year whilst also trying to cram in seeing all of my friends and family before I left and the chaos that is freshers week, it's just been so impossible for me to take a minute out and focus on blogging.

So to get back into it I thought Id kick off with a lil tour of my uni room as all I've been doing the past week is sorting and decorating it all on some very hungover mornings during freshers. Hopefully I can give you guys some inspo for decorating your own uni rooms and making your own cosy little getaways to disguise the ugliness that is student accommodation.

To start with I thought I'd share a little bit about my uni experience just as a lil run down so you can get to know what I do and where I spend my time. I'm currently going into my second year at the University of Manchester where I study BSc International Disaster Management and Humanitarian Response. In first year like most students I lived in halls which was an absolutely insanely incredible experience but I have now moved into a house with five other friends and I absolutely love it, theres just something a lot cosier about having your own house with a cute little garden and your own space free to hang things on walls as you please without having to take them down for monthly checks in halls *urgh the struggles of first year*.


In my opinion, making your room into a cosy lil haven is essential for settling in! I think you have to make yourself feel like your at home because at the end of the day you're going to be spending the majority of your year here so you want to make it as homely and cosy as possible. I mean hang fairy lights up; get some posters of your favourite bands; stick photos of all your family, friends and things that just remind you of good memories and even get some lil plants to add a touch of nature for that super calming feel. It really is super important to create a space where you can getaway and forget about them awful uni days you have to endure sometimes or where you can hide and never leave your bed on them hungover freshers mornings.

I mean I definitely always go overboard with bringing all my favourite things from back home to uni with me, I'm such a pain for my family who have to help me transport it all the way to manchester and then make countless trips up stairs to cram it all into a very small bedroom but ah well this is why I love them. For me, bringing my favourite items like my record player and typewriter definitely make the difference; these are just a few of my favourite things in the world and having them with me just makes everything better.

Below/above you'll see all of the ways that I've decorated my room to make it feel that extra bit cosy. Obviously, my room is decorated personal to me so for yourselves you might not be in to going to gigs and may not feel the need to plaster your walls with old gig tickets but this is where you can get creative and decorate your own walls with whatever is meaningful to you.








  

I hope this has given you all a lil bit of inspo on how to create your own little home away from home because we all know how tough uni can be and having a little haven to escape to makes it all the better! I'd love to hear how you guys have all decorated your rooms to make them personal to you!
