Pin It On Us…Or On Your Cork Board

Dorm Decor:

First day back to classes is coming up quick and before you know it you’ll be flooded with things to do. Right now you may be thinking that you’ll be fine with just a calendar, planner and folder but let’s just think of all the things that you may want to hang on a cork board at school:

  • Pictures or other memories like concert tickets
  • Notes for your roommate
  • Reminders of upcoming tasks or exams
  • Dining hall meal schedule
  • Assignments that need to get done
  • Test results
  • Athletic practice schedule for you collegiate athletes
  • Game schedule if you attend sporting events
  • Etc…
