Dorm Life: How to Lessen Your Separation Anxiety From Home

If you decide to live in a single dorm room, recreating your comfort zone can be much easier. Though every dorm is small spaced, you have the power to work with bold colors and edgy fabrics to help create your dorm room since you cannot color your walls.

Dorm Bedding

Bedding is an absolute must in your dorm room. If you've had the same room bedding style in your home for many years, now is the best opportunity to change your bedding. Starting off college means exploring yourself, so changing your bedding will give you a kick-start. For boys, the common colors chosen are navy blue, dark green, or red covers. For girls, they prefer pink, combinations of brown and blue or pink and black, or sometimes orange. To make sure you have warmth throughout the winter seasons, buy a down filled blanket, but if you prefer to stay cool, a cotton comforter is just fine.

Dorm Bedding

Common flooring in dorm rooms are linoleum or tile, which can be a bit cold for feet during the winter. Choosing a big modern rug that is large enough to cover both under the bed to the desk area would help resolve the issue. Those who worry about staining the rugs with drinks or food, buying a dark-colored rug can hide all the accidents when on the run. Make sure to pick easy-wash rugs like cotton or synthetic polyester. Rugs are always easy to clean because you can take it out and give it a couple of shakes, all without having to vacuum!

Having a large mirror for your dorm is a must. Most students have to share a bathroom with each other, and it may be hard to get access to a mirror. Buying a big mirror will cut down the time of waiting for a mirror and get you where you need to go faster. Consider buying a small basin and water jug, if you wish to brush your teeth in privacy once in a while.

Buying a desk lamp and a lamp for your nightstand will create the aura of home. When you add photos of family and friends and put them on your walls and desk, it helps create a comfortable space of memories.

Though it is difficult to be away from home where your family and friends are, creating your dorm room as a home away from home is a good way to make yourself at home in your college. Creating your comfortable dorm will help lessen your separation anxiety and encourage you to feel at home in your new dorm.

Helping Your Teen Move Out

Moving out of the house for the first time can be one of the most conflicting times of your teenager's life. They will most certainly be excited for their new freedom and independence, but many will also feel anxious, apprehensive, and saddened by the move away from home. You might be feeling similar mixed emotions as the parent. On the one hand, you are proud of your child for moving on to bigger goals and greater obstacles, but it is also saddening and difficult to let go. Do not be afraid to show them your conflicting feelings. It is important to communicate your feelings and help them understand their freedom to do the same. There are many ways your teen for the journey they are about to embark on.

Dorm Bedding

Spend a great deal of time helping your teenager plan their move. While it does provide furniture, dormitory living does require many purchases and preparations. Most dorm beds are longer than standard twin beds, so special sheets need to be purchased. Additionally, your child will need towels, a hamper, detergent, shower products, decorations, and school supplies. Don't take charge of the planning and packing, but do guide them and offer your support. Help them contact their school for a list of recommended items to be brought along, and make plenty of suggestions.

Dorm Bedding

It is important to remind your child that their home will still be home, even if they are living somewhere else. Store some of their things at home-don't bring everything to school. Also, don't change their bedroom immediately after their departure. Doing so is often very hurtful, even if they don't admit to it.

Make sure to keep lines of communication open, and always be available on the phone or through email.
When dropping your teenager off at school, only stay for as long as it takes to get them settled and unpacked. Sticking around for too long, buying too many things after arriving, and continuing to take your child out for dinner will only contribute to the stress that is felt with transitioning to college life. Even though it will be difficult, it is important to say goodbye as quickly as possible. Your child will need time to adjust, meet new people, and participate in orientation and other scheduled activities. Your presence will, unfortunately, only be a hindrance after the first few hours.

Mail will always be appreciated, so send your child a care package as soon as you get home from dropping them off! Fill it with homemade food, photos of your family, quarters for laundry, a letter, or their favorite candy! Anything that shows your thoughts are with them will be a great help.

Space Saving Bunk Beds

How would your kids fancy one of the funky bunk beds from the company, Space Saving Beds Company? Each of these funky bunks come with matching cupboards, drawers, a desk and a set of shelves - all of which come in a range of radiant colors and professional finishes. All are designed to be particularly sturdy and able to stand up to the heavy-duty wear and tear that most kids meter out on a daily basis.

Dorm Bedding

Another range available from the Space Saving Beds Company is the Foldaway Bunk Bed which is available in two widths - either 2ft 6inches or 3ft. The frame is firmly attached to a solid wall such as breeze block, brick or concrete to ensure the occupants' safety. As a space saving option for a teen's room, these foldaway bunks are amazing: the whole bed actually folds up flat against the wall when not in use. To lower you simply undo the latch and, due to the gas mechanism, the bunk lowers slowly and safely until it locks into position in the horizontal position.

Dorm Bedding

Although there is clearly still a place on the market for the traditional bunk beds, many parents have become concerned about the questionable safety of their kids using a ladder to access the top bunk and whether the rails around the top of a traditional bunk are sufficient to prevent a restless youngster from rolling out during the night. The manufacturers have taken many of the parents' concerns on board and have applied additional safety features to these traditional bunk bed models. This includes doing away with the ladder, for one thing. Many children's bunk beds now on the market incorporate integral stairways into their designs, enabling children to climb up these stairs to reach the top bunk. This is a much safer option.

The most popular bunk beds on the market are the twin over twin bunks, the full over full bunks and the twin over full bunks. Many of the twin-over-twin bunks can be used side by side as normal twin beds. A twin over full bunk bed has a single bed as the top bunk and a full-width, double bed as the lower bunk. Another popular option is the futon bunk, many of which are made along the lines of the twin-over-full bunk bed. In my own opinion, this is a lovely option for children to have the option of using the bottom bunk as a sofa during the daytime.

A far more recent innovation is the sofa that, with a few twists and turns, can be quickly turned into a set of bunk beds. In terms of being excellent space saving bunk beds, this convertible couch is great. To cut a long story short, the back of this sofa converts into the upper bunk while the sofa seat converts into the lower bunk. Brilliant though this idea is [and it is very clever], it is hoped that, eventually, the price will come down a bit - rather a lot, actually, because this is certainly not a cheap option. It's good, and full fills all the options required of space saving bunk beds, until you come to the price. The last time I looked, this little number retailed at a cool ,800.00!

Living on a College Campus

One of the first questions that comes up after cost and location on any college search is where will I live? About 80% of four-year colleges offer some type of on campus housing. Many colleges strongly suggest (some may even require) that you live on campus for the first year. And other rules may apply too, like whether you can have a vehicle your first year. Always check for any special requirements for first year students.

Dorm Bedding

Since you will be spending a lot of time in your college dorm room, you should do an onsite visit if at all possible. Many times photos are old and outdated and don't reflect current conditions. It's important to know how much space and what furniture and storage items may be included in your dorm room. It's also a good idea to talk to actual students if you visit. You can find out more in 10 minutes talking to students than you can find in any brochure.

Dorm Bedding

Why would a college want you to live on campus? Well, some would say it's more money for the college and I'm sure many can use all the funding they can get. But in reality it's been known for a long time that when you live on campus your first year you have a much easier time adapting and actually graduating.

The main reason is that you are in a better position to meet more peers and make new friends faster. Support systems are set up and you also have plenty of people to help with making the transition to college life. Everyone is in the same boat and for once peer pressure can be a good thing.

A big part of college is the social life, whether that means finding people with common interest or maybe your potential mate for life. You are also exposed to a diverse group of people that can expand your thinking in many ways. Another good thing about college is exposing you to information and culture different from your own.

Of course there are some downsides to dorm living. You need to learn how to get along, share things like bathrooms, common areas, and other resources. Privacy is difficult to find, roommates may not be a perfect match, and distractions are everywhere. But for most new students, the good things outweigh the bad in the long run.

On campus living can come in many shapes and sizes. Each school may have slightly different facilities but all fall into some general categories. And all have rules; in fact each type of dorm may have different rules due to the nature of the dorm. Some colleges cater to certain groups like international students and make special facilities and rules to fit.

Some common dorm types are single sex (male or female only), coed dorms (where both sexes may be allowed in many configurations), dorms for special needs students (more wheel chair friendly), and even type of majors (like all music or engineering majors), lifestyle (drinking, smoking, whatever), and student level (freshman, sophomore or above).

Dorm rooms come in all shapes and configurations. The two roommate models are the most common. But you also have single occupant, quad occupants, and everything in between. Cost is a factor in many of the layouts with the single being the most expensive. Bathrooms are almost always shared either between two or maybe even the whole floor.

Speaking of cost, each school can vary widely in cost. On the high end it can be around ,000 per semester, on the low end it can be around 00 per semester. Single occupant dorm rooms are the most expensive and the cost goes down with the number of occupants in the room. The age and special features of each dorm facility can have an impact on the cost too.

A big part of your first year of college is directly related to where you live. Don't forget to check out any requirements and what facilities are available. If possible, try and visit the campus while school is in session. Take a look at the dorm rooms, talk to students, and get a feel for where you will be living.

A Dorm Like Bedroom For Teens

If you have two teen boys in your home, chances are you probably separate them a lot because they argue over territory in the bedroom. There is a way to put an end to all of that and it isn't going to cost you a second mortgage. Decorating a teen's room is fun and exciting. If they want to, they can help you otherwise, you can decorate it anyway you want to.

Dorm Bedding

Dorms are small rooms however; there is a place for everything. A dorm room is usually shared by more than one person at a time and there are boundaries in the room so that separation is possible. When you have two teen boys sharing a room, you may want to decorate it dorm style so you can cut down the arguing and everyone can manage to get a long. If teens have their own space even while sharing a room, they will get along better because they will feel individualized.

Dorm Bedding

Beds

Teens need their own personal space in their room. The bed is usually the one place that they have that they don't have to share with anyone else. The most common types of beds for teen's rooms are twin beds. You can replace those twin beds with dorm beds. These beds are sold online in a variety of styles to choose from. Most of them contain a twin-sized bed on a top bunk and then underneath the bed is a place to put a desk, television, and a recliner. This gives them their own individualized space. Place area rugs at the area underneath the bed, each one being a different color, for example orange rugs and white rugs on one side; brown rugs and blue rugs on the other.

Closet

A closet for each teen would be ideal however, if space will not allow it then try to arrange their room so that each one has a corner to place a dresser. You can purchase an adjustable closet rod that will hold a certain amount of weight. You can extend it from the side of the dresser to the wall. This can be used for things that must hang up and everything else can go in the drawers. If they have too many clothes to fit in a dress, which most of the time teens do, you can give them a storage box to place everything else and they can keep it in the attic or basement.

Sitting Area

You can place a sofa, coffee table, and television in the middle of the floor so they can both share the same sitting area in the bedroom. If the room is small, try placing two recliners instead of a sofa or you can use beanbag chairs. You just need a place for them to sit down and watch television.

Accessorize

You can accessorize with neutral colors. Throw pillows, curtains, and lampshades are just some of the accessories that you can add to complete the look. If they don't have a desk under their dorm beds, place a desk somewhere in the room so they do have the opportunity to sit at the desk to do work, study, or just read a book.

Looking For That Perfect Children's Bunk Bed?

Searching for a great bunk bed for your child can be confusing. I'm sure you have many reservations about bunk beds. Are they safe? Is your child old enough? What should you look for in a bunk bed? Hopefully you will find some answers in this article.

Dorm Bedding

Question 1; Are bunk beds safe?

Dorm Bedding

Bunk beds are safer now than ever. Better materials, better construction, and better design have all factored into a much safer bed than even a decade ago. Most bed bunk accidents are a result of horseplay, in fact, most injuries are from teenagers jumping around on the beds, especially college dorm lofts and bunk beds. As long as safe practices are observed, your child should be fine. Teach them to never jump on the top bunk and how to use the ladder correctly.

Guard rails on bunk beds are regulated by the government now and must conform to certain specifications. There can be no more than 5 inches between the top of the mattress and the bottom of the guardrail. This ensures your child will not slip through.

Another safety practice you should look for is the use of a Bunkie board. This will keep the mattress secured in place and not allow it to shift which might result in gaps. These gaps or unforeseen openings can cause the mattress to slip. A Bunkie board will keep the mattress securely in place.

Question 2: Is my child old enough to sleep on the top bunk?

Most experts have agreed that your child should be at least six years old before sleeping on the top bunk. But who are these experts and why are they qualified to arrive at such a conclusion? Nobody really knows who the exact people are but studies have shown that most children have achieved a certain maturity by age six. But only you can determine if your child is ready or not. No one knows their children better than the parents and if you feel your child is ready, then he or she is ready.

Question 3: What should you look for when purchasing a bunk bed?

A couple of things first decide if you want a metal bunk bed or a wooden bunk bed. Metal can be very strong and hold up to some heavy punishment, by the natural beauty of wood is the preferred choice, mostly because it provide a more comfortable and pleasant décor.

When looking at wood, you should decide if you want solid wood or manufactured wood. Solid wood is very strong and most solid wood beds are made from pine. The beauty and finish of a solid pine bed will last for years, possibly generations. Manufactured wood is usually wood particles that are pressed together. Manufactured wood is cheaper and can still be strong but will lack the natural wood appearance of solid wood.

When you're evaluating children's bunk beds, remember the above tips. You sleep better yourself knowing that you've made a better, more informative purchase. Most bunk beds sold, either in retail stores or on the Internet are perfectly fine. Manufacturers and merchants alike want nothing but the safest experience for your child.

Prepare For Dorm Living By Getting The Essentials

Students who choose to reside on campus while completing their Bachelor's degrees must come equipped with all the necessities they need to live comfortably at college. Of course, dorm living requires some compromises and far as what items can be reasonably squeezed into a small room shared by multiple people. You'll need the basics, such as a mini fridge, computer, an area rug if the room is not carpeted, and bedding. There may also be some items you and your future roommates have not thought of that can make life in a dorm a little easier.

Dorm Bedding

Bring a dry erase board of decent size. There are countless uses for one of these, from working out homework problems to leaving notes for a roommate. You can use a dry erase board to jot down ideas when brainstorming a paper, or to write down your schedule in plain view to avoid overlooking a commitment. These are inexpensive and easily placed above a desk or on the back of a door.

Dorm Bedding

Be creative about storage. Bring a variety of storage units of different sizes to squeeze under the bed, hang on the back of the door, or divide dresser drawers. Look for slender storage units that can be fitted between your desk and the bed, for example. A fabric shoe organizer can be hung from the wall and used to hold a variety of objects from glasses and mugs to office supplies, in addition to shoes, of course. Some organizers can hang from clothes hangers in your closet.

Depending on whether your dorm is air conditioned or whether it is located in a damp or musty building, you may want to bring a fan and an air purifier. Arrange with your roommates that only one of you will bring each item. You may be glad to have these for the room.

A first aid kit is always a good idea to have on hand for minor injuries. Of course, you should visit the college nurse for anything potentially serious, but you will want to have a bandage or a pair of tweezers available for paper cuts and splinters, as well as some over-the-counter painkillers for headaches, etc.

Be prepared for the public showers, as well. For your health, you shouldn't share soaps and razors with other students, especially since the showers you use regularly are likely used by an entire dorm floor. A plastic shower caddy can be filled with your necessities and transported easily from your room and back when you shower. You will likely want shower flip-flops as well.

A small clothesline that you can temporarily hang in your room is a great idea for wet towels or delicate clothing that you cannot throw in the dryer. You could also bring a clothes rack instead, as long as it is relatively small and portable. You'll be glad you thought of it!

Dorm Bedding

These specialty ladders are located on the side of the bed near the bottom of the bed, inserted into an opening between a safety rail that runs the length of the bed. Some use built in ladders or hook on ladders.

There are a variety of styles with standard options have two twin bed mattresses that are stacked in the same direction while the Twin Over Full bunk beds have a full size mattress on the bottom and a twin sized mattress on the top. A Futon is similar in appearance to the twin bunk, but the bottom bunk can fold up and into a futon couch when not being used as a bed. These work well in a studio apartment. An L-Shaped version is comprised of twin sized mattresses stacked on top of each other, but the bottom bunk is at a right angle to the top bunk at the bottom half of the top. This adds space under the top half of the top bunk where it can be used for a desk or chair. A Loft Bed is another option, but there is no bottom bunk. These are used a lot in dorm rooms and a desk can be put under it, saving space. All styles of bunks, including the Loft uses bunk bed ladders to get to the top bunk.

Most bunk ladders are made out of wood or iron to match the frame. There are usually 4 steps with an opening at the top. A sturdy ladder is important for safety reasons, especially with children.
