In all the stress of classes, friend drama, and extracurriculars, there’s one place you can always count on to seek refuge. Your dorm room. Envision it: the view out your window (in my case, a brick wall), your decor that you definitely found time to put up and isn’t under your bed somewhere, your organized closet because of course you don’t have clothes on your floor. OK, maybe my earlier statement about dorms being a refuge isn’t exactly true. We’re almost halfway through fall semester and it’s inevitable that the high hopes you had for your dorm room at move-in fell a bit flat. But that doesn’t mean you can’t change course — your dorm isn’t doomed to be unaesthetic forever with these October Amazon Prime Day dorm deals.
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are Oct. 8 and 9, and with killer deals, I personally am dedicated to reviving the dorm dreams I had in August. Call me HGTV because I am about to become my college’s live-in interior decorator. Is your desk filling up a bit too quickly? Are you finally fed up with your room’s overhead lighting? No matter what your dorm room grievance is, this list has a solution for you. The start of a new semester is always hectic, but now is the chance to take a step back and make your room your own. Who knows, maybe it can still become your refuge.
