It's so exciting to read about everyone getting their holiday decorations up, everything sounds so pretty...I'm actually kind of looking forward to the day when I have my own place to really decorate...
I'm starting to get a better idea of what the whole actually living on my own thing is going to be like since this year I'm living in a suite with five other girls that I know from last year and we've made our common room into more of a living room and less of a typical dorm common room, it's very home feeling all the time, but the best is how it's being decorated for the season. We live on the 11th floor of our building (the top floor, of the tallest building on campus) and we have multi-colored lights hanging in the windows, a real, alive christmas tree (which is amazing to me because at home we have a fake tree, and because, there's an alive christmas tree on the 11th floor of a dorm, in cleveland and that just seems like a very unlikely place to find a christmas tree) that has white lights and random orniments that we've made or brought from home. There are 6 little stockings on the wall and each one has one of our names on it in our favorite color, and the door is wrapped in wrapping paper and has a wreath on it (basically, one of my suitemates realllllly loves hoildays...)
It's also cute that at my sorority house we have snowflakes that the VP of Membership Development made hanging on the wall, and they each have a sister's name written on it.
