 Hi my name is Ann Long. I am a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences and today I'm going to show you all my process of moving in and decorating. Right now I'm with my brother William and we have the car completely packed and I'm on my way to campus so super excited to move in and get the year started. So I just got to campus and I am walking in going to get my key. So I have moved most of my stuff in. I still have to put away all my clothes which is going to be a task. As you saw they gave us a nice little like welcome pack with a lot of cleaning supplies which is super awesome and so this is the room so far and I am going to just keep on working on getting everything you did. Now I am decorating my desk. I have these cute little wooden outlines of one of the towns that I visit every summer so those are cute little buildings from the town that are really nice. So I have those there and then I have me and my brother and me and some friends so I'm going to put those pictures up here set up the pictures and I have those and I have a little A for my name this is Rex Orange County my absolute favorite artist. I have this cute little fish and this pin from UVM that says Explorers Forever that I got on my first day of my first year so that's really special to me so that's what the top looks like and I think I'm going to put I have these fun mirrors and I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to put them kind of staggered up there to add hello to add more um light and to I don't know make it look a little bit more fun so that's what I'm going to do now is figuring out how to get these up here if you need some command hooks that's a little difficult by myself but I will make it work. Kind of cute I like it. I have more at home I might add one more right there but for what it is I think it looks good it adds a little bit more dimension to my desk area. I'm going to take the mirrors off to let the command hooks sit overnight before I put the mirrors back on but that is the desk area finished and decorated. Then I left and took a break to go get my COVID test and this is some footage from the testing. So I just got finished with getting my COVID test done I was super impressed with how organized it was it took like 10 minutes they were all super helpful and really clear with the instructions so that was an awesome experience got a nice free water bottle some hand sanitizer and three masks which is super cool so now I'm heading back to U Heights to finish up some of the decorating in my room waiting for my roommate to come so see you later. So my mom just dropped off the other mirrors and I'm going to see if I like how more would look like on the wall I think that's fun I like it adds a little something extra. So my roommate Megan just got here all of her stuff is in and we are trying to figure out we're going to try to rearrange the room tower so we may have it and we will see if it works so we're going to move our wardrobes to our desks our there's my brother I will keep you all updated on how it looks but this is the before and we will be working on the after and see how it goes. Unfortunately I have to undo all of the command hooks that I put on earlier. This is us rearranging the furniture in the room we tried really every single rearrangement possible we actually only ended up moving one of the wardrobes in one of the desks the furniture was super heavy so I'm glad that my brother was there to help. How we want it with where the wardrobes are in the desks I didn't have to take my command strip socks I'm gonna have to do that again it's not a big deal not upset about it anything um yeah we then put up Megan's tapestry and some of her decorations and she had actually taken the black frame um off from around her bed so then I decided that I wanted to do the same thing to make the room look a little bit more unified and spacious so this is us attempting to do that this is what the room looks like before we put up the rest of our decorations. Right now we are figuring out where our rugs go we have two cute rugs and so we're just going to try some different configurations and see what we like I just got the rest of my posters printed so now I am going to use some spray mount to put them onto the canvases so then I can put them up on my wall just figured out where I'm going to put my tapestry and all my pictures so now I'm going to put my tapestry up um a really good tip I have for all of you is to get these velcro command strips um if you don't want to put holes in your wall because um they work really well for tapestries and stuff and then won't leave marks um when you're moving out. Tapestry is up and now I am just figuring out where I'm going to put my different posters and pictures that I have. Here I am putting up the posters I ended up putting them on the top of my tapestry which I think looks really nice and I use the same velcro command strips to put all of these pictures up as well. Here I am adding some finishing details I put another tapestry up and these really cute flowers in test tubes. So I just officially finished decorating the room and I will show you all what we have put together this is a little mudroom area that we have for a dorm we just have our shoes sink some toiletries this holds all of our kitchen appliances and supplies and then our fridge and microwave and then this is our room this is my roommate Megan's desk we put up a little scratch away map up there this is my wardrobe this is my desk the mirrors up there and then all my little personalized pictures and everything and then this is my side of the room I have this tapestry and some string lights with some pictures and then those are the collages that I did and then those are pictures of some sunsets and then over here I have this other tapestry of wildflowers and those are the little flowers and the little vials that I was talking about and this really fun moon lamp that I have and then I just have pillows to match that tapestry and then I have some underbed storage this is my bedside table water bottle speaker diffuser alarm clock this is our view you can actually see the mountain right there and I think once it's winter and we don't have the leaves on this tree we'll get even better view and then these are our little dorm plants that we have and then this is Megan's side of the room my roommate she's writing a letter right now I'll just give you guys a little overview what she has this is her wardrobe and then we just have some extra storage here and a printer and then again this is back out in the common area and we also have a bathroom we have our toiletries there our towels toilet and our shower so that has been the process of me decorating my room getting moved in and everything like that I hope you all enjoyed watching and consider coming to UVM so you can do the same
