Look through Pottery Barn, IKEA, and other catalogs that have special “dorm room” sections. There are great ideas, like lighting fixtures, shelves, and other 3-D or light-based ideas that are super cool. Get together with a parent to deal with wood, Papier Mache, Plastic, Colored LED’s, ceramics, Fabrics, Murano glass, or what-have-you to personalize and extend ideas you see on those pages. Maybe make a poster-sized collage of photos of your friends and siblings to hang on your wall. This is your chance to dream and create a space of refuge. I would plan and make custom stuff.

Buy commodities as you see sales.
