Dorm Room Revisited

I saw a commercial for Ross department stores last week that detailed the complications and price of furnishing a dorm room. The girl bragged that she only spent $500 and the result was a disgusting pink and neon green room that would banish you to a major in Young Adult Contemporary Literature or Mathematics.

So I decided to take a trip down memory lane and detail what I bought for my first dorm room:

- Abalone Shell as an ashtray - $4 from head shop


- Psychedelic Poster - $5 from head shop

- Tapestry for bed - $10 from summer music festival


- Used Mini Fridge - $20 from some Sophomore Student

- Outdoor carpeting (for inside) - $12 from Home Depot (they don't make these hideous acrylic rugs any more - I think they were a fire hazard)

So in total I I spent $51 on my first dorm room... with plenty of enough money to spend on... well.. use your imagination.
