Hello, my dear readers, it’s Grayson! We are talking about my dorm again since I have less than a week to move in. Needless to say, it has been the only thing on my mind. Just imagine me doing a little happy dance while I’m writing this because oh my goody goodness this is a thrilling feeling! Now, it’s still shocking to me that I am at this point in my life where I’m actually going tobe fully responsible for, well, basically everything, but I think I can handle it (high-fives selawkwardly).
Anyhow… the dorm! I want to talk about my final dorm shopping trip that happened this weekend! It was the highly anticipated Ikea trip of the summer. That store is literally Heaven on Earth. If you are currently thinking that you wouldn’t find anything in that store that you wouldlike, let me tell you, buddy, you are dead wrong. Ikea is this alternate universe where you see something completely unnecessary and obsolete to your life, and you immediately have this overwhelming desire to buy it. Maybe even more than one of said object. The store is a blessing and a curse.
The really, really good part about Ikea though, are the prices. Deals are everywhere! It’s so incredibly affordable, and that, my friends, is a very good thing for a college student. In case you have yet to hear, college is expensive and so is dorm shopping. So, fair warning when you or your kid goes off to the grand ‘ol university, and things get a little pricey.
Anyways, these prices. They make it so easy (along with the wide selection of products Ikea offers) to curate some really good pieces for your dorm, storage and decorating wise. I bought the prettiest white linen duvet cover for way under $100! That’s cheaper than any dorm bedding at Target, and way cheaper than any linen bedding I’ve priced. They also offer the handiest storage solutions. Example, I needed somewhere to store my blender, mini rice cooker, and plates… BAM. Ikea gives me a three-tiered rolling cart that is super space saving for a dorm!
Hellooo mini kitchen!! I’ll be whipping up the greatest dorm room meals anyone has ever seen! That’s all for today, so if you aren’t just totally convinced you need to go to Ikea… go ask another person how they feel about it. I’m willing to bet money they’ll rave about it to! I’m sure my mom will post pictures of my dorm when everything is set up, so next week, keep your eyes open!
Ciao!
Grayson
