So, it is finals week and between studying for exams, many
people are packing up to go back home for the summer. While I am one of those
people and I have been living on double shot espressos for about a week, I am
already planning my decoration for my apartment for fall semester when I move
back in. Why? Potentially a combination of lack of sleep, an over-abundance of
creativity, and just wanting to have an entire summer to plan and organize
where I want to keep things so I am not scrambling around midterms trying to
find things that haven’t been moved for an entire half semester. What some call
organized chaos is what others call a disaster area.

When moving in to your new place, whether a dorm or an
apartment, it is important to keep a few things in mind. It takes a lot longer
to set your decorations up than it does to tear it all down at the end of the
year when you have to move out (unless you are living there over the summer!)
In honor of UT Tyler’s new housing option called Eagle’s Landing, I have made a
list of helpful tips for redecorating your place while making the most of your
space!
