Fall has finally begun and it is time to celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> What better way to do so than to make the place you reside reflect the environment surrounding you? Decorating for autumn is a must this season. Whether you\u2019re living off campus or in a dorm, there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t partake in all that the season has to offer. All you have to do is put in a little work to rejoice in the beauty that fall provides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To get started, you\u2019ll have to purchase or make some decorations. For the best deals, head down to Dallas and take a stroll through Dollar Tree \u2014 believe it or not, their options are abundant. Everything from banners, to signs, knick-knacks and garlands are available. While you\u2019re there, you might as well check out Goodwill and Walmart as well, as both provide a large selection of decor to choose from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re on a tight budget, that\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t be involved in the fall fun; grab some construction paper, some markers and get crafty. If you happen to have extra jars or cans, cut out some Autumn-colored leaves, and paste them around the outside to create a fall-themed container. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you aren\u2019t a creative person, that\u2019s okay, too. Just head to Pinterest to develop some lively ideas for creations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you\u2019ve finished making the indoors look as perfect as outdoors, you can finally throw on a sweater and some fuzzy socks, kick back with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa and make the most of the season from wherever you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the author at chealy16@wou.edu<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caity Healy | Lifestyle Editor With the start of the new term, the leaves are taking on various shades of reds, oranges and browns as they slowly flutter from the limbs by which they once hung and make their way to the ground.
