My college is located in a very wet climate, which not only is bad news for my hair, but also everything else. Alaska is somewhat rainy in the summertime, but it's not humid whatsoever, so humidity and nearly constant rainy weather are going to be a big change for me. But it won't be so bad with these adorable rain items! I have a philosophy that you feel like what you wear, and to an extent those you come in contact with as well, so whenever it's rainy, I want to wear a bright rain coat. Yellow, I think, is the typical rain coat color that people think of, and it's no surprise--yellow is just so happy!
All of these things are needs on my list ... I don't own rain boots or an umbrella or anything. Good thing there are several months before college starts!
Hooray! Another college wishlist! This one's a bit more random, with clocks and lamps and a chalkboard and headphones, but that's just the way it goes. I'm obsessed with time, the concept of it, being on time, etc. (random fact: I'm not very good at telling time because I cheated on the time cards we had in first grade that taught us how to tell time ... I was such a bad kid, haha. Well I'm paying for it now!) Clocks really add a homey touch anywhere, plus they're good to, ya know, not be late to class and whatnot.
And just look at those fun paper lanterns? The dorm that I requested to stay in has a glorious window wall in each dorm, so there is plenty of natural lighting, but being a photography person, I'll still need tons of light if I ever want to do indoor shoots in my tiny dorm room.
The dorm that I hope to live in sadly is going to be torn down after my freshman year, so I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe they'll let us paint the walls and nail things into them and whatnot, but if not I will definitely want a cute whiteboard or chalkboard to write down important things I want to remember. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the painting dream!
The headphones are more of a want than a need. But still, they're super awesome!
The wish list series still isn't over, so stay tuned for more in the upcoming days!
P.S. I've managed to lose my SD card adapter AGAIN, so the 365 will be updated as soon as I find it ... I guess it's time to clean my room again.
Whenever I come home from school, my coat always manages to find itself on the floor ... along with many other clothes. Sharing a small dorm room with a college room mate will probably not call for clutter, so some of the things on my college wish list are hooks and coat racks.
Also, I love to display photos and papers and notes and movie ticket stubs, and my college provides a board for each student to hang things on in their dorm, so tape and magnets (and string and glue and ... ooh man) will be my best friends. You guys, I'm too excited to decorate my dorm and make it all pretty. Haha I'm crazy, I know.
Ever since visiting the college I'm going to attend in the fall, I've been compiling together a list of items I will either need to bring from home or purchase in the lower forty eight. It's only a page long so far, but then again my handwriting is small ...
One of the items on my list of things to purchase is containers. I'm not a very organized person, so if I can throw my stuff in containers, I am happy. Really they help me keep things in their place. Bobby pins, rings, hair bows, loose change, random rocks and sticks I find, safety pins, my sd card adaptor, flowers ... so many things that need containers! So I've been keeping my eye out (ie creeping online stores) for some cute stuff to put my stuff in. Modcloth always has the cutest things, so it's no surprise EVERYTHING on my wishlist is from them. But hey, that is certainly not a bad thing!
