With senior year coming to a close, stores like Target, Wal-Mart, J. C. Penney, and Kohl’s are preparing for the truck loads of college students that will be coming to their stores in search of must-have dorm room supplies.
“My mom’s goal in life is to please me, so she insists on decorating my dorm room,” senior Austin Boyd said. “She will make sure that I have all of the essentials that I need, such as a flat screen TV, a nice refrigerator, a few lamps, and a comforter ensemble with a matching furry rug. My mom knows that I like the way fur feels on my feet. I like fur.”
Although these may not be essentials to everyone, rugs, desks, lamps, and comforter sets are items that college students search for in order to glamorize their dorm rooms.
“My roommate and I found some really nice stuff at Target,” senior Sean Haley said. “We made a gift registry for our families, and we were able to color coordinate everything. I also like Target because their prices are really reasonable.”
Target is not the only store with reasonable prices. Wal-Mart and Kohl’s have colorful comforter sets for only $29.99, while Bed Bath & Beyond has nice desks and lamps for unbelievable prices.
As always, there are those freshmen who are thrilled about living on campus while others have decided to live at home. No matter where upcoming freshmen decide to live, they can still re-decorate their rooms and/or add furniture in order to give their room a more college feel.
J. C. Penney has numerous bean bag chairs that college students use while talking on the phone, studying, or watching TV. These chairs are only $7.99, and they will add originality to any room or dorm room.
“I am staying at home so that I can stay more focused during my freshman year,” senior Rebbecca Quirate said. “Over the summer my mom and I are going to paint my room and buy me a new comforter set. I want to find some kind of desk too, I want to feel that I am living on campus even though I am not really there.”
With so many colors and patterns to choose from and economically friendly prices, students can mix and match room decor until they have created their dream room.
