Going away to college soon? This is a truly exciting time in any young person’s life; a time when we can strike out on our own and make our way in the world. This first year in college is the most fun as we explore the options and opportunities available to us and begin to make our own decisions. The first decisions, however, are those that involve the choosing of things to take with us to school.
Living in a dormitory the first year of college requires that we outfit our rooms to be most comfortable for us. This time of year you will see soon-to-be college students out shopping for their bed sheets and comforters, their bath accessories, and all the little extras that will make their dormitory “house” more of a home in which they are comfortable.
Clocks, are just one of the pieces that we can use to spruce up our dormitory and make it something that is more familiar to us. A well chosen mantel clock – while usually a staple over a fireplace – can look interesting on a shelf above a desk; fun and different atomic clocks may be the perfect things to sit on our nightstands; and even a wall clock (forget traditional and think fun and unique) can hang on a college dormitory wall. After all, this is the first time for many of us that we have to organize and follow our own schedules; making sure we always know what time it is – in style – can help keep us on track and make our dorm rooms something interesting and fun.
