Instead of carving pumpkins and making a mess everywhere in your dorm, it’s much easier to decorate them! Besides not having to worry about the pumpkin mush, choosing not carving your pumpkin will help it last longer.

Sticking to a budget in college can be difficult, but you don’t have to waste your money with this decorating idea! Using your own nail polish to decorate a pumpkin is an easy way to save money and it’ll turn out the same way as paint would.
4. Leaves!

Go outside and grab some small colorful leaves to put on your pumpkin! You can glue the leaves on in whatever pattern you like and this way you could keep your pumpkin for longer than Halloween since it’s more fall related.
5. Color it with Sharpies or markers.

Almost everyone has Sharpies or markers so if you don’t have your own, ask a friend to borrow theirs! It’s super easy to color with Sharpies/markers and you can create as many designs as you want without having to do any cleanup!
