Tips for moving into your dorm Start planning your move-in now to get ahead later STEFFIE DRUCKER Online editor

M

oving is one of my least favorite things about college.

It’s difficult, tiring and time-consuming. Fortunately, I’ve found ways to smoothen the moving process and reduce related stress.

The move-in process, for me, starts long before actual Move-in Day. I start coordinating with my roommate about what time she will arrive and what she will bring (in terms of shared items like a TV, microwave, mini-fridge and rug).

Living in the dorms, University Housing also asks that you submit a request for your bed configuration. The options vary depending on what type of furniture your building has but if you’re thinking about bunking you defi nitely need to coordinate with your roommate as both roommates must agree on a bunked arrangement.

Next, mentally prepare yourself. Move-in Day is stressful, crowded, confusing and chaotic day for everyone — especially new students. Several thousand students are all trying to get situated in their new homes at once. University staff members are buzzing around, orchestrating the day. You’re moving into a new space, often with an unfamiliar roommate and starting a completely new chapter of life. All of this, on top of the regular disorder that comes with moving, can cause emotions to run high. Recognize this and be patient with everyone around you.

You should know the basics of how Move-in Day will go so you can plan accordingly. If you’re living in the dorms, traffic patterns and unloading will be facilitated by the University’s I-Guides. In a matter of minutes, like at a fi ne hotel, these student volunteers assist you and your family by unloading the car and shepherding your things into your room.

I-Guides’ help stops once your belongings are in the room so make sure all of your things are carefully labeled so you know what’s what.

Once in the room, before you even start unpacking, take

note of anything that needs maintenance. At the end of the year, your room will be examined, and you will be charged for any damage. Always stay on top of your maintenance, starting from day one. The overhead light in my room didn’t work when I moved in so I submitted a maintenance request and it was fi xed the next day.

Many people’s instinct is to pack in boxes, bins and crates.

I would advise differently: I’ve found success packing clothes in huge garbage bags. Because the trash bags don’t maintain a constant shape, it allows more flexibility when piling everything into the car. Garbage bags are also easy to dispose of once your things are unpacked.

If you have clothes you’re planning to hang, put them into the garbage bags already on the hangers. That way, all you have to do is pull off the covering and hang them in your closet.

Another essential is power strips — especially if you are living in an older dorm. I lived in Hopkins Hall freshman year and the outlets were placed rather strangely throughout the room. Power strips were a lifesaver in terms of equipping my new home for all my new millennium needs.

While you’re probably currently stressing about gathering everything you need before your drive down to Champaign in a few weeks, I’m telling you not to fret. You should try to prepare as much as possible but understand that you probably won’t know what truly works in your room and what doesn’t until you get there and start fi lling the space.

You may fi nd that, despite your extensive planning, you need something that you didn’t expect or think of. There are three Walmarts, two Meijers and a Target near campus, just to name a few, so you will surely be able to get ahold of whatever it is that you’re seeking.

Lastly, nothing about the way you set up your room on Move-in Day is set in stone. If you fi nd a few days, weeks or months later that you no longer love the way your room is set up, it’s easy to change. The University wants your room to be as comfortable as possible so they will accommodate requests to reconfigure your layout.

Prevention tactics for a freshman’s most common illness: Homesickness Tips to avoid homesickness from someone who resists change EMMA WEISSMANN Special sections editor

W

hile you might be prepared for common colds, there’s a whole new type of ailment to prepare for that is equally as common: homesickness.

If your personality is anything like mine, you resist change. Fiercely.

Short haircut? No thanks.

Furniture re-arrange? Not feeling it. New drink at Starbucks? I think I’ll stick with the usual.

The transition to college can be tough. After all, change is scary. You have to acclimate to a new environment, a new roommate, new classes, even a new bed to sleep in.

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before move-in day: As hard as it is, resist going home for the fi rst couple of months of the semester — try to stick it out until Thanksgiving break.

If you end up going home every chance you get, you’re just interrupting any sort of routine you’ve started and you’ll miss opportunities to hang out with friends.

Instead, try to see what the campus is like on days when classes aren’t in session.

Don’t worry about how your parents will handle your move. It is not your responsibility to keep track of how your parents are reacting to your absence.

Sure, they will miss you, but don’t make yourself feel guilty for leaving them.

They had a life before you, and they can adjust to a life without you for a while.

Embrace change. Some people actually believe that change is a good thing? I know, shocking. While it’s perfectly fi ne to keep your hair a certain length or keep ordering your favorite drink at Starbucks, there’s no use resisting a change that you can’t control. Moving out of the house to attend college is one of those changes. The sooner you embrace it, the sooner it will become your normal routine.

Use this as an opportunity to prepare for the future. You’re not always going to be able to hop on the Suburban Express and be home in two hours. Use your fi rst year at the University to learn the ropes of living on your own (and yes, that includes vacuuming your dorm room and changing your sheets). Forming these habits early will come in handy later.

Explore. Welcome week (and beyond) is the perfect time to see all that Chambana has to offer.

Catch a movie on the Quad.

Learn the bus system and venture off campus. Go fi nd Alma, the Morrow plots, the observatory. The more you explore, the more this scary, unfamiliar environment will start to feel like home.

Tips for getting through sicknesses at college From excusing absences to getting the right medical help, here’s how to handle being ill EMMA WEISSMANN Special sections editor

I

can count on one hand the number of times I became sick enough to miss school growing up. When I was lucky enough to succumb some sort of ailment, I saw it as a mini-vacation. My mom would wait on me hand and foot as I lounged on the couch watching television, sleeping as much (or as little) as I wanted and reveling in the joy of not having to attend school.

When I got to college, it was safe to say that the vacation was over, or at least not as grand as it once was.

While I managed to escape many of the particularly nasty viruses that tend to spread around freshmen dormitories, I quickly realized that sick days were no longer as “fun” as they used to be.

During my freshman year at the University, I managed to succumb to a double ear infection and came down with a case of shingles, landing me in the

ER late one night. Suddenly, there were responsibilities ... and a lot of them.

I needed to make an appointment at the health center (heck, I needed to know where the health center was), call the emergency dean to get a note for the classes I had missed (and the exam I had walked out of), and I needed to go to a pharmacy for medication. My mom was no longer able to take care of me, and the never-ending pile of work mounted higher and higher with each class I missed.

It didn’t end there. Sophomore year came a nasty case of food poisoning, and junior year brought two cases of strep throat and pneumonia.

Even if you’re healthier than I am (which is not particularly difficult), you need to be prepared for the worst. Getting sick at college taught me many valuable lessons, and I became more independent as a result of dealing with my illnesses.

Before becoming sick In my fi rst week at school, I made sure to know where the health care center

and nearest hospital are (note: McKinley Foundation on Fifth and John is not McKinley Health Center) and the quickest way to get there. Program the DialA-Nurse number into your phone, and come to school with various over-thecounter medications to deal with pain (such as Ibuprofen, aspirin), along with a thermometer, an ice pack and a fi rst aid kit.

ly and overwhelming parts of college.

Suddenly, you’re thrown into an unfamiliar environment with full responsibility for your wellbeing. Being prepared to deal with an illness and taking the necessary precautions once you arrive on campus can help to make the process a little bit easier (maybe not quite up to vacation status, but just bearable enough).

After becoming sick

Emma is a senior in Media. She can be reached at wessmnn2@dailyillini.com.

Once you get a diagnosis, do some research. I’m not suggesting you go into WebMD and type in all your symptoms (we all know what that leads to), but see if there are any at-home remedies that you can use to make the healing process a little more comfortable. When it came to my shingles, there was a lot to learn and many “at-home treatments” that I could do myself, sans Mama. I also made sure to e-mail my professors and teaching assistants immediately, explaining my illness, how long I would be missing class and asking how they would like me make up coursework.

Being sick can be one of the most lone-

Discover the opportunities offered in University Housing Campus residence halls provide experiences, events to cover every student’s needs CHANDRESH NANDANI Contributing writer

I

personally am a huge advocate for laziness from time to time. After spending all of your time moving in, exploring campus, making friends and preparing for class nothing feels better than spending your spare time in your room.

However, just because you want to stay in your room, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the amazing opportunities that the residence halls have to offer. There are tons of amazing in-house opportunities that cater to the couchpotato in all of us.

Let’s start out with something near and dear to my heart: food.

All of the University Housing options have an awesome assembly of food on a regular basis. However, there are also tons of amazing speciality food nights as well. That means that you don’t have to leave your dorm to experience anything

from savory soul food to more noodles than you could ever dream of.

Check out the specialty options in your own dorm and try to hit up as many of the other specialty nights as possible. If you aren’t on a University meal plan, that’s just more incentive to make a friend in the dorms.

Now let’s say that during this lazy day in that you want to let loose and do something other than binge watch “Orange is the New Black� on Netflix. You don’t have to go to a bar or the Union because all residence halls have you covered.

Residence halls give you access to rec rooms, movie theaters or other types of entertainment. These amenities vary from place to place, but the residence halls want you to have a good time and chances are that you will be involved in a makeshift ping-pong competition in no time.

If you would prefer to cuddle up with a good book instead, University Housing still has you covered. Libraries are available to any student at the University, and they have a great selection of books to chose from.

Finally, some of the coolest events I have attended on campus were at my dorm hall. There are huge staffs of devoted RAs and Multicultural Advisers there to give you awesome new experiences. These could include cultural fairs (often with free food), movie nights, guest speakers or even a drag show.

There could literally be a party hap-

pening right under your nose and that is one of coolest parts about living in the dorms. So even if you feel like staying in, don’t worry, there is plenty for you to experience right from home.

Get friendly with your floormates to start meeting people MIRANDA HOLLOWAY Daytime editor

W

hen I envisioned moving into my dorm freshman year, I imagined the move-in scene from “She’s the Man,” except I wouldn’t be cross dressing as my twin brother.

In the scene, Amanda Bynes walks down the hall of her new boarding school dorm, dodging frisbees and footballs as other students blast music from their rooms.

I was ready to embrace the madness — dorm life was going to be crazy and fi lled with characters.

Along with not fi nding Channing Tatum in my room, my move-in day was almost completely opposite of what I was anticipating.

Every floor in any given dorm has a different collective personality, and mine just happened to be quiet and reserved.

I and my roommate, whom I have known since the first grade, made our first friends by keeping our door open. The girls next door did the same, and we hit it off.

As that first week advanced, I got to know the girls next door and my floormates much better. We went to dinner, visited the ARC pool, navigated Quad Day and managed to survive what was perhaps the hottest convocation ceremony in history.

This little group didn’t just happen, however. At times it was pretty awkward, and it took some facilitation on behalf of our RA to get our shy little floor to open up.

The first time I really got to know anyone’s name

and any sort of backstory was at our first floor meeting where we set out our rules and played some ice breakers.

As uncomfortable as everyone was at the start, by the end of the meeting I had a sense of everyone’s name and age, and it was up to me to build from there.

Throughout the semester my roommate and next door neighbors would venture to whatever floor or hall event fit into our schedules. Regardless of the event, they were a preset date and time to get to know one another on a more personal level than a half nod in the bathroom before an 8 a.m.

These opportunities are fantastic, but they’ll only work if met with an open mind.

This is about to get all sorts of cheesy, but it’s leading somewhere, so stick with me.

Don’t limit the interaction with the people on your floor to the ones similar to those you had in high school.

Living in a dorm is the perfect time to bring yourself out of your comfort zone in a controlled environment.

The people from your floor will have entirely different backgrounds and interest from you, your friends in high school and perhaps from anyone you’ve ever met. Take advantage of the position you’re in to make friends with people you haven’t had the opportunity to be friends with in the past.

Now, I’m not saying that you need to stay up late and braid each other’s hair or try to have deep philosophical conversations in the bathroom with the guy down the hall that doesn’t make eye contact, but out of all the different people you’re living with, you might fi nd someone you wouldn’t have met otherwise.

How to avoid the dreaded freshman 15 PETER BAILEY-WELLS Assistant sports editor

G

oing to college is literally like being a kid in a candy store. There are so many things to eat and so little time.

Unfortunately, you don’t play all those sports you were such a star at in high school.

This means only one thing. Incoming freshmen are targets for the dreaded freshman 15, but have faith, for here are some suggestions for avoiding the dreaded weight gain that leaves the fit looking flabby.

Also, for the sake of full disclosure, I didn’t gain a single pound during my freshman year due to adherence to most of these tips.

Tip #1: Know your metabolism There are people everywhere who have hit the genetic lottery. Some people can jump high, some people can run fast, some people can throw far, and some people can eat with no consequences. Some people have metabolisms that work so fast that they can eat anything and avoid gaining weight.

Most people’s metabolisms don’t work that way. You can’t control your metabolism but you should know whether yours is helpful or not, and from there you can decide how to apply the rest of these tips.

ey when eating out.

This is a tip not only for your diet but your health as well. Staying hydrated is important for your immune system, your respiratory system, and Saturday morning you will be thanking “Friday you” for staying hydrated if you decide to go out and drink on Friday night. It will help prevent you getting quite as drunk and will soften hangovers.

Carry a water bottle with you to class and you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll get into the habit of drinking a bottle or two a day.

Tip #4: Control snacking Cafe credits on the University meal plan are a wonderful thing, but don’t get carried away. Chips, candy and cookies can be dangerously easy to purchase with your credits, but snacking contributes significantly to gaining weight. If possible, stick with 3 regular meals a day and control the snacking.

If you can, especially try to eat breakfast, because it will wake you up as well as prevent you from being hungry in the morning before lunch. I can’t go to class without a bowl of cereal and a glass of OJ in the morning. It just wouldn’t feel right.

Tip #5: Exercise (duh.)

Tip #3: Drink a lot of water

This final tip may seem stupidly obvious, but you have to exercise. You’ll be surprised how much you’ll be walking to class and up and down the stairs in your dorm, but that doesn’t cut it. The ARC and CRCE, our University fitness centers, are both super easy to access and use, and whether it’s running, lifting weights, or playing basketball, there is plenty to do.

If you have difficulty finding something you like to do, look at the more unique parts of campus. There’s a sand volleyball court just east of the Six Pack, and racquetball (my personal favorite) can be played in both the ARC and CRCE. Believe me, you really don’t want to be that person who comes home at Thanksgiving who looks like they’ve gotten a head-start on their Thanksgiving feast.

Drinking water fi lls you up like any other liquid (soda, juice, etc.) and all good for you. Worst case, you just have to pee a lot. In addition, it saves you some mon-

Tip #2: Cut out soda from your diet Soda intake is one of the biggest factors in determining who will gain weight during freshman year. There is absolutely ZERO to be gained by drinking soda, and soda contains an unbelievable amount of sugar. Replace it with fruit juice (still sugary, but some good stuff as well), milk (calcium!) or just plain water, which leads me to my next tip.

W

hen moving into your new residence hall, one major concern is your new food source: the dining hall. Whether you live at PAR, ISR, the six pack or any of the dorms on campus, be sure to know that your dining hall will inconvenience you at some time, and probably more than once.

Whether it’s the food, the dining hours or because you have too much homework and no time to eat, some days you just won’t feel up to eating in the dining hall.

Which is exactly why it is important to have the essential dorm room snacks stocked up for these food-related emergencies.

There certainly are snacks that every college student living in the dorm should have. Although they are simple, these snacks will get the job done. It’s important to remember that the freshman 15 can become a reality though, so make sure to eat everything in moderation. Here are the best and easiest snacks to keep on hand during your dorm room stay:

1. Any and all microwavable items Your microwave will become your best friend. So many snacks and meals can be made in five minutes or less in the microwave, giving you a fast and easy solution to your hunger.

You can make microwavable macaroni and cheese, soups, rice, ramen, hot dogs and much more.

Popcorn is also an essential snack to any dorm room, considering all you have to do is put the bag in the microwave and let it sit for two minutes. Then, done! You have a snack that you can devour in five minutes before you have to run to your next class.

2. Chips and salsa Although you should watch out for your sodium intake while eating this snack, chips and salsa is a great, healthy snack to keep on hand.

Salsa contains a good mix of vegetables that can make for a quick lunch or snack in between classes when you are in a rush. Also, both chips and salsa (when kept in the fridge) usually last for a long time, so it will always be there for a back up meal. Tostitos’ salsa can be found for as low as $2.98 and Tostitos’ chips can be found for as low as $2.50 in Walgreens or local grocery stores, making it a cheap snack as well.

3. Bread and peanut butter Looking for a substantial meal or snack that will fill you up during your

all-nighter? A peanut butter sandwich should do the trick. Peanut butter is a good source of protein, making it a substitute meal for those days where homework and studying overwhelm your life. Peanut butter lasts a long time, and can just be kept anywhere in your room. You may have to keep buying more bread, but you can also substitute it for crackers which can be found at I-57, Penn Station, Chomps or any A La Carte station in your dorm.

4. Fruits and vegetables If you’re just looking for something to munch on, make sure to keep some fruits and vegetables in your mini refrigerator.

A lot of the dining hall food and other snacks you may have can be fattening, so having some healthy snack options may make you feel better. Just having some carrots, celery, string beans and other vegetables in your fridge to snack on can boost your energy before heading to class. It is also a good idea to have bananas, apples, strawberries, pears or whatever fruit you enjoy kept in your room.

Most fruit you could want can usually be found in the dining hall, so take one or two to go if you think you might be hungry later.

5. Typical junk food If you’re a stress-eater like me, you’ll be craving all kinds of junk food during those stressful study nights. Make sure you have your favorite cookies, chips, candy, pretzels and other snacks on hand. But as I said before, make sure to eat everything in moderation to avoid gaining unwanted weight.

6. Breakfast foods Have an 8 or 9 a.m. class every day of the week? There is a high chance that you won’t be waking up early to head down to the dining hall for breakfast.

And I don’t blame you. But breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day, so it’s still important to have a little something before going to class.

Have some milk, cereal, eggs, granola bars and other fast breakfast foods in your room for those early mornings. This way you can have a meal in your own room, and sleep in a little later than you probably should.

7. Drinks Stock up on water, Gatorade, juice, soda or whatever you like to drink.

Especially water. There may be water fountains in your dorm, but when people start putting garbage, vomit and other unidentifiable objects in there...

You’ll be glad you had your own water bottles.

loâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Jimmy Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Not only does this break your diet, but also thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cash out of your pocket that you could have saved.

KARYNA RODRIGUEZ Video editor

Have go-to meals and snacks

O

I usually eat three small meals a day and three or four snacks. For breakfast itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s either scrambled egg whites with spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms, healthy pancakes or a quick bowl of healthy cereal with some fruit or raisins. For lunch and dinner I eat a salad or chicken with some steamed veggies. My snacks usually consist of Greek yogurt with sugar-free honey and cinnamon, healthy granola bars, apples and peanut butter, ants on a log or veggies with hummus. If you eat similar meals every day, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eliminate waste by ensuring that all of your groceries are used. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also be surprised by the variety you can create in these simple meals by adding different spices and sauces.

ne of the benefits of moving into an apartment is that you are completely in control of what you eat. If you gained the dreaded freshman 15 (give or take a few pounds), you might see this as an opportunity to start choosing healthier foods.

While campus dining provides students with a variety of meal and snack options daily, there are too many choices for one individual. Their expansive menus try to accommodate the thousands of students who eat there every day, which is a good thing.

The downside is that many students choose to overflow their plates with unhealthy options that lead to weight gain.

Now, living outside of the dorms, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be shopping for and preparing your own meals. You can eliminate the temptations of easily accessible greasy foods and rich desserts simply by not buying them.

I made the choice to do so when I moved in to my apartment this summer. However, I quickly realized that I was spending more money than I needed to on food. Eating healthy is more expensive, but maintaining a budget is possible. With some trial and error, I figured out how to cut down my grocery bill to $40 to $50 a week.

If that seems like a lot, keep in mind that the cost of a 10 classics/45 cafe credits meal plan for the 2014-2015 school year is $6,271 for non-residents. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over $600 a month for your meals.

With that in mind, here are my tips for healthier and cheaper eating:

Plan out your meals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and days!

Planning is everything in regards to healthy eating. Not only do you need to plan out your meals, but you should also sit down at the beginning of each week and write out your schedule. This will help you understand when you have time to cook meals or when you will need to have something quick or already prepared.

According to this schedule, choose what you will eat when. Before you do this, take stock of the groceries you have and think of meals or snacks you can create with them. If you have foods that will expire soon, plan to eat those early in the week. Anything you are running low of or are out of, add to your grocery list.

Plan a new meal or dessert every week

Stock up with your parents

When eating a healthier diet, it can be really tempting to give into cravings for fast food. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more tempting when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating similar meals every day to save money. Not to mention the fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly surrounded by unhealthy food options on a college campus. In order to make sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break your diet, plan for one new meal or healthy dessert every week. This will add some extra variety and something to look forward to. And while you may have to spend money on extra ingredients, you will have enough to make the recipe multiple times.

This may not be an option for everyone, but if you have parents that are willing to take you grocery shopping when they help you move in or visit, take advantage. This is the time to load your grocery cart with the additional little things that will last a while but add up.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about canned items, spices, salts, organic sweeteners, healthy cooking oils and sprays, etc. Having a large selection of spices and oils will add variety to your meals, which is extra important for maintaining a healthy diet. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating the same bland recipes every day, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to indulge in some Mano-

Buy cheaper If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to eat healthy on a budget, you need to

Here is a sample grocery list you can base yours on.

Starred items are products I like to have, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always keep stocked.

Everything else I always make sure to have in my kitchen.

Eggs Non-fat

Greek yogurt almond

Unsweetened

milk Lean

chicken breast fillets* Lean Ground Turkey* Shrimp* Tilapia

Bananas Apples Cucumbers Strawberries* Spinach

Tomatoes Black

beans beans Tuna in water* Red lentils* Garbanzo

Peanut

butter cereal Organic apple juice Green tea* Raisins* Granola bars*

Onions

Healthy

Celery Mushrooms Bell

peppers

Zucchini Broccoli Carrots

buy generic brands. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really any difference, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually cheaper. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also want to check the unit prices or â&#x20AC;&#x153;cost per unitâ&#x20AC;? of foods. This tells you the cost per pound, quart or other unit of weight or volume of the item you are purchasing. It is usually posted on the shelf below the food. For example, a 12-ounce can of tomatoes may cost $1 while another brand might be 15-ounce for $1.10. When you do the division, you will fi nd that the 15-ounce can is actually cheaper.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also helpful if you can drive to a Walmart or Aldi, where the food is cheaper than County Market. There are buses that go to these stores, but the long trip may not be worth it. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a vehicle, ask your friends with cars where they do their grocery shopping. If they already make the trip to these stores, ask if you can tag along. If these options donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no big deal. Just follow these other tips and you will still save money.

Meal and snack preparation Now that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve planned out your meals and bought your groceries, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to prepare them. At the beginning of the week, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful to prepare meals and snacks ahead of time. For example, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a day where you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re schedule will be tight, put some veggies or cut up fruit in a baggie that you can grab out of the fridge in a hurry. Or for a quick breakfast option, you can use these pre-cut fruits or veggies to make a smoothie you can sip on your way to class. You can also make some salads for the week and store them in the fridge in containers. When all else fails, a piece of fruit on the go can curb your appetite for a while. If you have options prepared ahead of time, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re less likely to stop at a cafe or the Illini Union food court to buy something.

Stop eating out!

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably already gotten this point by now, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very important one. At the beginning of the summer, I noticed I was spending a lot of money at restaurants or convenience shops to buy food when I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to prepare something. Later, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be surprised when I had to throw out half my groceries. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why planning and preparation is so important â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to avoid waste and more spending. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to eat out once in a while, but I would reserve this for when you go out with friends. Other than that, eat whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in your kitchen before it goes bad.

Simple recipes for apartment cooking

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to cook, have no fear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; take a look below.

Grilled Cheese with Bacon MICHAL DWOJAK Assistant sports editor

Y

ouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve fi nally done it.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the move out of your dorm room and are on your own in your apartment or house. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an independent and exciting life.

There is a catch though â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you have to cook your own meals.

For those who have some cooking experience and watched as their parents and grandparents prepared meals that always fi lled everyone up, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no problem. There will be a little trial and error, but at the end itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work out.

Now for those who were not so observant, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to fear.

Although I might not be a five-star chef, I can make some easy recipes that taste pretty good. These recipes are easy to make and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take up a lot of time.

This one is very simple to make but is very fi lling. Everyone loves bacon and who can resist a classic grilled cheese?

Combine the two and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic.

1. Grab a nonstick skillet, put it on the stove and warm it up for a minute.

2. Grab three pieces of bacon, or however much your heart desires, and place it on the hot skillet.

3. Cook the bacon on each side for three minutes or until it reaches that beautiful bacon color.

4. Wash the skillet off and then heat the skillet again with a tablespoon of salted butter on medium-low heat. If you want the bacon fl avor, you can use the bacon fat instead of the butter.

5. Place the bacon, tomato and the type of cheese you want between two pieces of bread.

6. Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for three minutes or until the bread is golden. Repeat for the other side.

different forms of making this, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help make the easiest form.

1. Grab a pot, depending on how much you plan to cook, and pour five quarts of water for every pound of spaghetti youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on cooking.

2. Add preferred amount of table salt before the water starts boiling.

3. Once the water is boiling, place the spaghetti in the pot. Cook for 10 minutes and stir from time to time to make sure the noodles donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick to each other or the pot.

4. At the same time the noodles are cooking, grab your favorite marinara sauce, meatless or with meat, and place it in a smaller pot that is heated. Stir constantly to avoid sticking and burning.

5. Once the noodles are cooked, drain the noodles and let them cool off for a minute.

6. Place the noodles on a plate and pour the spaghetti over them. Eat with a side salad or some bread. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the Parmesan cheese!

Spaghetti

Baked Lemon Chicken Breast

This meal is quick and easy to make and is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous. There are

This one is a little tougher to make, but is well worth the time and effort. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

a great meal to make for a date night or just a night to treat yourself for a good grade.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 2. Warm 3/4 cup of olive oil in a saucepan and add three tablespoons of minced garlic.

3. Add two tablespoons of lemon juice, one teaspoon of oregano and a dash of salt and pepper into the baking dish.

4. Pat the chicken breasts with the sauce made.

5. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and salt and pepper.

6. Cut a lemon into eight wedges and place it between the pieces of chicken.

7. Place aluminum foil over the dish and bake the chicken for 30-40 minutes, the chicken will be slightly brown.

8. This can be served with noodles or potatoes, whatever your favorite is.

These meals will become your favorites by the end of the year and will help you stay away from spending too much money at different campus restaurants.

Making the most of your dining hall meal plan MEGAN JONES Assistant news editor

W

elcome to the University Dining Hall: Where you can eat all the french fries, macaroni and cheese and hotdogs you want, while still getting fresh fruit and salads. However, there is a large price to pay.

Our meal plans are on the expensive side in comparison to other meal plans in the Big 10: So it is up to you to make the most bang out of your buck. There are several different meal plans to chose from, each with their own price tag and range of meals.

Each time you enter the dining hall, you use 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;classic meal.â&#x20AC;? Cafe credits are simply credits with which you can buy food a-la-carte from various dining halls, such as the Ikenberry Commons, Pennsylvania Avenue Residence or Busey-Evans.

The two most common meal plans are the weekly 12 meals and 15 cafe credits or the 10 meal and 45 cafe credits, which is the minimum meal plan undergraduate students living in University housing can sign up for.

Take advantage of the fact that you can change your meal plan until Sept.

20. So spend the first couple of weeks finding out which meal plan fits best with your schedule. If you are on the 10 meal/45 credit plan and finding yourself with tons of extra credits at the end of the week, consider switching to the 12 meal/15 credit plan.

Try not to eat out on Green Street often, but save it for a fun night out with friends or to make a celebration even more special. By treating yourself

only once-in-a-while and sticking to your meal plan, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to spend more money on top of all the money already spent on a plan.

Going out and spending $10 for a meal can really add up and every meal not used is wasted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as meals do not roll over. Cafe credits will roll over, but only up to a certain amount depending on which meal plan you have.

While you are in the dining hall, make sure to take advantage of whatever extra food you can, as well.

For example, bring a water bottle with you and as you are leaving, refill your drink. Signs will be posted in the dining hall that tell you what food you can take out with you. I recommend snagging a piece of fruit!

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say a friend is visiting: You cannot use a classic meal for a friend, but you can use either cafe credits or extra credits to bring them in. Extra credits can be purchased online and can also be used to do laundry.

I believe the best part about being on a meal plan is going to specialty restaurants throughout campus. It is a fun way to get out of the rut of eating in the same dining hall, while still using your credits and not spending additional money. Into burgers? Head to the Ike on Fridays to Better Burger, which also can feature root beer floats, cherry limeade, cheese curds and more.

Oodles is a commonly-loved speciality on Fridays for lunch, where you can choose what you want on pasta and get it cooked right in front of you.

Neo Soul night is on Mondays and features southern comfort foods mixed with traditional African foods.

Maps or Google Maps Lost during your first week of classes, but too embarrassed to pull out a map or ask someone for directions? Use one of these apps. The app “Maps” comes on every iPhone, and Google Maps can be downloaded onto any iPhone or Android. Just use

Party supplies?

The Illini Bus app has made my life so much easier in the past two years of being on campus. This app will take your location and tell you what CUMTD buses are running near your location. You can then find out what stop to catch the bus at and how many minutes you have until it arrives. According to the Illini Bus app’s description the app has features such as: “Nearby” gives you the information you most likely need at the moment, right away “Maps” lets you search for stops and even campus buildings “Trip Planner” can summarize your travel time, number of buses you are taking and walking distance to simplify your decision “Track” lets you see the route of your bus and see how far the bus is away from you “Favorite” can be stored from anywhere in the app and remove by swiping in the favorite page This way you can ride the CUMTD buses in confidence, knowing when and where the bus comes, your route of travel and when and where you should arrive, but if your phone’s app store doesn’t have Illini Bus, don’t fear. There are a slew of other apps very similar to Illini Bus, like Catch MTD for the Windows Phone.

UI Dining UI Dining is a great app for anyone living in the dorms to have. This app lets you see the menu of every dining hall on campus every day of the week. Not sure if you should go eat in the dining hall or order Jimmy Johns? Take a quick peek at the menu at your dining hall for that day on this app. This way you don’t have to waste your meals by swiping into the dining hall and see that all the food for that day looks like something

Team spirit?

Sunglasses?

Hats?

Exchanges?

Costumes & accessories?

not even your dog would eat.

Blackboard Mobile Learn One of the first things you’ll learn to use on campus during your first days of class is Compass. Compass is where most of your assignments and grades will be posted by your professors. If you don’t keep up with looking at Compass, you’ll probably miss a large amount of your assignments that are due. Make it easier for yourself and download the Blackboard Mobile Learn app so you can see assignments, due dates and grades without having to pull out your laptop.

Yik Yak Ah, my personal favorite. According to the Yik Yak website, Yik Yak is an app that “serves as a local bulletin board for a user’s area by showing the most recent posts from other users around them, without having to know who posted the message.”

That’s right — everything posted on this app is anonymous... and probably not true. But it’s a great way to find out what bar, party or event everyone is at. It’s also a good source to see what weird things are happening on campus, and send a message that can spread to the entire University without having to gain followers.

Warning: Do NOT take anyone’s advice on Yik Yak about what fraternity or sorority houses on campus are “top house.” Take this from someone who is affiliated with Greek life.

Yelp If you’re looking for a dentist, mechanic or want to find good restaurants on or near campus, download the Yelp app. You can read and write reviews about local businesses to help you figure out the Chambana area.

Taking advantage of what the WebStore has to offer ELEANOR BLACK Assistant news editor

As

a University of Illinois student, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot to take advantage of on campus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a variety of places to shop and eat, the nightlife and of course, the classes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one more resource you may not be familiar with: the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WebStore. Members of the University can receive discounts of up to 90 percent on a wide variety of software at the online store.

Getting started Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get shopping! Go to webstore.illinois.edu and click â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personal Purchasesâ&#x20AC;? in the upper right of your screen. Then, on the left side of the screen you will see a green box that says â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Account.â&#x20AC;? Within that box, log in using your NetID and password â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this will show you what products and offers you are eligible for, as well as your profile, order history and shopping cart.

Your order history may be important later because once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made any purchase through the WebStore, all the information you may need to receive and install your software can be found there.

On your main shopping page (after you clicked â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personal Purchasesâ&#x20AC;?) youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see nine categories, and if you scroll to the bottom of the page youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find even more specific categories to browse.

These include specific departments like engineering, architecture or math and statistics, as well as interests like web development, graphic design and video editing. After clicking on the category youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in, you can sort the products alphabetically, by popularity or by price.

Recommended offers to take advantage of Great, now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all set up to shop!

Now hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to take advantage of what the WebStore has to offer. As mentioned earlier, logging in will show you what offers youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible for â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some offers are only available to faculty, staff or students in specific departments.

Because the WebStore operates

across all three University of Illinois campuses, make sure to look at special offers for students on the Urbana campus. Within the nine categories on the main shopping page, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find one titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Urbana Campus Products,â&#x20AC;? which has offers specifically provided to the U-C campus community.

Another place to find special UIUC offers is on the bottom of the page, where you will see â&#x20AC;&#x153;UIUC Student Savingsâ&#x20AC;? in the list of product categories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can also find this page by going to webstore.illinois.edu/ uiucsave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will pull up a list of free and extremely discounted products that almost, I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say all, but a large majority of our students will use,â&#x20AC;? said Courtney McLearin, IT product marketing specialist at the WebStore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To make it a little easier for students to find what they need to get started once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here at campus.â&#x20AC;?

This includes McAfee security software, MATLAB access, both free, and Microsoft Office for the discounted price of $50.

McLearin also recommended taking advantage of the Adobe Creative Cloud offer (search for â&#x20AC;&#x153;creative cloudâ&#x20AC;? on the WebStore), which gives you a 12-month

$

"% %

subscription to 27 Adobe programs for $195. You do not have to download all 27 programs at once, you can download them as you please within those 12 months.

There is no way to compare prices at the WebStore, so if you want to find out how much you can save, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to do some searching of your own.

Learning to use your software Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got your software, but do you know how to use it to its full potential?

The WebStore offers workshops for a variety of programs, including Microsoft and Adobe products. For those interested in web development, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find an intensive web design course (which is being updated, according to the website, and the next sessions will be scheduled for the 2014-2015 academic year) and a course in HTML and CSS. Hopefully you have now learned almost everything you need to know about using the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WebStore!

Online learning tools essential to student success 1. Compass EARN SAENMUK Staff writer

B

eing college students, it is important to learn about the online learning tools since many classes use them as a medium. Students should also learn about their online access to academic journals and the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s databases, which will be useful for any kind of research in the future.

Compass is one of the platforms that help students and instructors collaborate online. Instructors can share course content and students can view them as well as turn in their assignments online. It is also used as a space for questions and group discussions.

Students can also take exams and view their grades online. You can access Compass 2g at https://compass2g.illinois.edu

2. Moodle Similar to Compass, Moodle allows students and instructors to interact online. They have different interface but the functions are the same.

Moodle, however, is only used by College of Education and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Making the Virtual Classroom a Reality, which is an online series that helps students and faculty members teach and learn online, is also available on Moodle.

You can access Moodle at https:// learn.illinois.edu.

3. Library websites and databases The University of Illinois Library is the largest public university library in the United States. The databases hold almost every article and journal ever published, and it is very easy to navigate. Individual library websites also provide help and guidelines in specif-

ic areas as well. The library homepage can be accessed at http://www.library. illinois.edu.

4. College websites Each college, and some departments, has its own website, which provides information for students, alumni and faculty members. These websites provide program information, and they also update news related to the college/department for anyone interested.

The University of Illinois homepage, http://illinois.edu, has a list of individual college and department websites.

What you actually need to bring to class

Avoid carrying too much as you walk across campus by knowing what you do and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need 2. Notebooks

EARN SAENMUK Staff writer

A

There are a variety of notebooks you can use. You may want to look at your schedule and see if you like multiple-subject notebooks or smaller notebooks. Only bring the ones you need that day to avoid carrying too much. You may also use your laptop instead if you prefer taking notes digitally.

lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend enough time thinking about what they need to bring to class. They just put all the materials in a backpack and carry everything to class everyday.

Students bring gigantic backpacks full of textbooks and notes they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily need to class everyday.

It takes less than five minutes to look at tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule, put what is needed in your backpack and save yourself from back pain. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you really need to bring to class with you:

3. Required textbooks

1. Writing Utensils

4. A planner or a small notebook

This can be anything you want: pencils, pens, markers, etc. You may also include an eraser and a highlighter as well.

This will help you organize and remember things you need to do. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to look at things in one place

EARN SAENMUK THE DAILY ILLINI

Some classes, such as language classes, require you to bring textbooks and workbooks to class. Only take the books with you if they are required.

Textbooks are for reading at home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you should be taking notes in class.

Additionally, you might have to hang around for a few hours between classes. It may be a good idea to have some kind of music player â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an iPod, your cellphone, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as headphones and a charger with you.

Why do U of I students take classes at Parkland?

Kevin Biederwolf

UI senior, advertising Parkland College online student

Before heading home to Schaumburg for the summer, Kevin followed his advisorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion to take Economics 102 online through Parkland to free up his fall semester for UI advertising and media classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything about it went smoothly,â&#x20AC;? Kevin says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;from finding the online Parkland summer class schedule to registering for the class, transferring the credit, and having it show up on my UI transcript.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt I got everything out of the class that I would have gotten by taking it from the U of I, but for a lot less money.â&#x20AC;?

Best Value Pre-class advice to start off Fall â&#x20AC;&#x2122;14 Prices from: 1 bedroom loft from $725

the semester on the right foot CHANDRESH NANDANI Contributing writer

2 bedrooms from $825 3 bedrooms from $950 3 bedroom house $1125 Some utilities included and remodeled

As

much as I would like to postpone the inevitable, class is coming and there is nothing (legally) we can do to stop it.

However, instead of being blindsided by the upcoming semester, a little research can help put you in a better position to tackle the semester.

Almost every course on campus has some type of website. Check these sites out and look up the syllabus from past semesters. The syllabus will tell you the expected workload, the grading structure, and might even include a breakdown of

the topics that the class is going to cover.

This way you can mentally prepare yourself for that test you have in three weeks or know that a particular professor has 50 points of your grade dedicated to pop quizzes.

Also, a bunch of professors on campus have a profile page online. If you check out your professor beforehand you can get to know the professorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests and background.

It might feel better going into class knowing more about a professor than just their name.

If you want to be really ready for class, check out Rate My Professor, a website where previous students have posted their opinions and tips for how to do well in that class or with that professor. It has been an invaluable resource in my

experience.

Keep in mind that the posts on Rate My Professor are made by students and not monitored. However, if 10 students tell you to read the book before class, you might want to heed the advice.

Finally, check your University email. Sometimes a professor or course coordinator will email you before class starts with information about what to do before the first day or sometimes even a simple welcome to the class. Either way, it is worth it to check out your email.

Hopefully with these tips you will be better prepared and confident and start the semester out on the right foot.

Benefits of developing a rapport with your resident adviser NICKI HALENZA Opinions editor

F

or many incoming college students, there is nothing quite as nerve-racking and overwhelming as Move-in Day. Whether you are excited, scared, or a little combination of both, the experience is similar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you are thrust into some new, unfamiliar dormitory building that you are now supposed to call home. Your arms weigh heavily with luggage in hand, and you desperately hope no one has spotted your precious, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-sleep-without-it stuffed animal poking out the top of your backpack as you are surrounded by hundreds of other terrified newbies.

You are then guided by a set of older students through what feels like a scavenger hunt as you make the journey towards your small, prison-cell-sized dorm room, parents trailing behind.

These older students guiding you around are the resident advisers, more commonly called RAs, in your building, and befriending the RA from your specific floor is a smart move. Aside from adding a new compadre to your repertoire (because as a new student, you are

looking for all the new friends you can get), developing camaraderie with your RA will prove very beneficial as you try to navigate your way around a new campus.

Take it from me, the girl who came in to the University roommate-less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not by choice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a Taft-Van Doren resident. Nothing was more discouraging than being thrust into a new life without even a roommate to connect with, so I found that being able to talk to my RA was vital to my sanity and social success in those fi rst few weeks living in the dorms.

This was especially important because, first and foremost, the key to a positive experience at college is having a comfortable living arrangement. And when you are living on a floor and sharing community bathrooms with dozens of over-excited young adults, comfort and quiet are not always the go-to adjectives to describe your dorm experience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when knowing your RA comes in handy.

There is nothing quite as frustrating as noisy neighbors and messy bathrooms, and one personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annoyance is usually powerless on an entire floor of student residents, which is why being able to approach your RA is so important.

By developing a close relationship with your RA, some of the inevitable burdens of living with a bunch

of rowdy college kids can be lessened as your RA has the power to lay down the law and enforce rules for the floor.

Once rules are set by your RA and there is free and easy communication between you and the floor boss, dorm life is a breeze. And with a comfortable living situation comes better success as a student as well.

Aside from the benefits your RA can bring you in regards to your living situation, you can learn a lot about campus life in general through regular communication and interaction with him or her. With everything from which dining hall specialty food nights to attend, what classes to take, to all the other tips and tricks that are worth knowing as a student, chances are your RA will have some solid input.

So whether coming into the dorms as a new, bright-eyed and bushy tailed freshman, or returning to them as a seasoned sophomore, keep in mind the importance of developing a rapport with your RA. They are there to help you and make your life on campus a little bit easier, so take the extra step and open up the channels of communication with them.

hether you’re in-state, out-of-state or from another country, this year of college probably marks the first year you’re living away from home. Even if you went to boarding school or summer camp, this year is unlike any you’ve ever had, and it’s important not to blow all of that carefully saved money in your first year.

Whether it’s your money or your parents’ money, it’s important to find ways to keep your spending down without sacrificing your comfort or your appetite.

This one is sneaky, because most people don’t think about saving money with it, but it helps you in a variety of ways. First of all, having a water bottle means you don’t have to buy a drink at the vending machine in Lincoln Hall, or a smoothie at the Jamba Juice in the Union.

Those things can be nice treats but are also expensive habits, and drinking water is healthier and water fountains are free. In addition, it will fill your stomach up and make you less likely to succumb to the urge to buy Cheetos in that vending machine, thus saving you just a bit more money.

Secondly, drinking water can help keep you healthy, and medical supplies are expensive. Saving yourself a bag of cough drops because you always drink water and your throat doesn’t get sore is certainly worth it.

Don’t buy snacks

Buy local This might seem like a funny one, but in some ways, it’s important to shop at the local Champaign-Urbana businesses for certain things, because despite some things actually costing more, the quality will result in it lasting for longer than something of lesser quality that is cheaper.

Buying the cheapest things possible usually means you have to go back to the store sooner than you might like. Buy things at more local businesses and you’ll be saving money in the long run.

Buy things at chain stores OK, so now I’m telling you to do the opposite of my first suggestion. That’s because there are certain things that are worth buying at bigger stores. Walgreens brand stuff might not be that good, but if you can get Degree deodorant and Gillette Bath and Body Wash and whatever tissues you like all in the same place, you’re saving money.

When deciding between local businesses versus chains, just be smart. If you can get a lot better product for just a little bit more money, it’s probably going to be worth it in the long run.

Basically, I’m suggesting that you mooch. Everyone at college always has food, and if you make friends with the right people, they’ll always have food. Basically, if you have food, you’ll eat it, and then you’ll have to buy more food.

If your friends have food in their dorm room that is super far away because it’s four doors down, and you’re already under your blanket watching a movie, you’re less likely to eat that food, plain and simple.

Don’t buy drunk food I’ve seen this doom for many an excited freshman.

Papa Del’s or Fat Sandwich seems like such a great idea at 3 a.m. but usually you’ll survive the night without starving, and be happy you didn’t spend the money when you want to go out to lunch the next day.

Unfortunately for your wallet, you’re going to spend money while at college, and you might spend more than you intend to, but exercising restraint is the best way you can avoid going home with empty pockets.

Buy those last second items without issue

C-U filled with businesses to fulfill all your shopping needs ELEANOR BLACK Assistant news editor

A

fter months of anticipation, the time has finally come for you to move into your new dorm room.

Unfortunately, despite all your planning, all the shopping lists you scanned and all that stuff you crammed into your car, you may find you’re still missing a few items. Well, don’t worry about it, Urbana-Champaign has more than enough resources to cover you.

For one-stop shopping, your best bet is most likely one of the large-scale retailers in the area.

When I moved into my first dorm, I noticed a lack of storage options, which, to be fair, may have been a result of my own overpacking. So my family headed to Target to pick up an easy-to-assemble shelving unit, some cleaning supplies (that room’s not going to clean itself) and a couple of rugs to add some style and keep my feet from getting cold on the linoleum floor.

If you’re more of a Walmart person, you’ll find a couple of them in the area, as well as a Bed, Bath and Beyond and smaller retailers like Walgreens and CVS, both located on Green Street. As you probably know, these places are filled with basically anything you may need to survive as a college student. You’ll have your furniture, dining ware, room decorations, even clothes and food for relatively good prices.

Of course, you may also notice that your new dorm room is a little bare. You’ll find decorations at the aforementioned larger stores, but there are smaller stores with more unique options to choose from.

You can find string lights, wall decorations, desk supplies and other fun room accessories at the Urban Outfitters on campus. Another option is Ten Thousand Villages in Champaign, a fair trade retailer. Again, you can purchase wall decorations, as well as items like bowls, glasses and more for those nights you’d rather not eat in the dining hall.

If you’ve got some time and are looking for truly unique decoration options, check out the I.D.E.A. Store. It receives donated items from business manufacturers and individuals — so sometimes there will be a large amount of a certain item or sometimes it’s the only one in stock — that you can purchase

to create whatever you want. If you’re feeling particularly inspired one day and want a one-of-a-kind piece to spice up your room, head on over and start digging!

So don’t fret if you move in and realize you may have forgotten a few essential (or not so essential) items for your dorm room! Know that you’ve got more than a few options around you to help you set up a functional and fun dorm room.

Dorm decor to transform your room into home Work with your roommates to decorate your shared dorm room STEFFIE DRUCKER Online editor

M

ove-in Day is your first opportunity to make your dorm room your new home. In addition to bringing the essentials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; clothes, pillow, laundry supplies, alarm clock â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you should bring things that make your room uniquely you.

During the last few weeks before Move-in Day, you may wish to discuss with your roommate how to decorate. You are sharing the space so you might want to create this new home together. Some roommates scroll through Pinterest to find DIY craft projects to do together and decorate the room. Some may agree on a color scheme or theme for the room. You should definitely work together to arrange the furniture in a cohesive layout.

You may choose to make your sides identical or tailor it to reflect your taste and interests. Especially when purchasing more long-term items such as bedding, keep in mind that the comforter will stay with you while the roommate may not so you want it to be something you like and that expresses your personality.

My dorm decor included many posters. I shopped around at stores near home prior to Move-in Day but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anything I loved. Fortunately, there was a fantastic poster sale at the Illini Union within the first few weeks of school that provided me with many of the tools I needed to make my room my own.

Not only did posters come in many sizes, they were also affordable for my college student budget. There were prints with inspirational quotes, popular celebrities, fuzzy animals and colorful flowers, to name a few.

When affixing your newly-purchased posters to the wall, be sure to use poster putty or blue painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tape as other materials could peel paint from the walls upon removal.

My roommate chose to decorate with wall decals and photos.

The wall decals were nice because they could be peeled off and placed somewhere else, just like a giant sticker. My roommateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed was originally lofted but she chose to lower it so she was able to move her wall decals accordingly.

You can put pictures in a pretty frame to place on your bookshelf or find a cute way to hang them on the wall. One friend organized photos of friends and fam-

ily back home into a giant heart. Another hung hers with colorful, patterned photo clips.

My freshman dorm room came with a bulletin board.

If yours has a board, I recommend covering it with patterned wrapping paper or fabric as a background. Bring photos, concert tickets, certificates or other things from home that you can hang on the board. I started with only a few items and let my board evolve over the year.

For me, the devil is in the details when it comes to decorating. Even the smallest things like colorful pushpins or fun magnets on your fridge give your room an extra, quirky burst of color.

Christmas lights are another popular decoration.

They may or may not work well in your room, depending on where the outlets are placed. For this, power strips come in handy to make up the difference. Some people simply used patterned duck tape to hang them on the ceiling while others used Command hooks.

While RAs take care of door decorations, many rooms choose to hang a whiteboard for people to leave messages. For this, my roommate and I used double-sided tape and provided passersby with a rainbow array of dry erase markers. During the holidays, we also wrapped our door like a giant present!

Colorful items like desk lamps and rugs really help to pull the room together and make it look finished. My roommate and I agreed on a rug that went well with both of our sides and that was easy to clean. I brought a desk lamp that matched my comforter to make my room pop a little more.

Be sure to bring items from home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; be it a favorite stuffed animal or athletic award â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to make your new room feel like home. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be living here for the next nine months so you want to feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created a home for yourself. Especially on days when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re longing to go home, these tokens will make you feel comforted.

Decorating my dorm room was honestly one of my favorite parts of freshman year. It got me excited for the upcoming year during those last few weeks of summer and allowed me to bond with my roommate in the early days. Returning from class each evening, I truly felt that I was at home. As I prepare to return to campus now, I again canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to move into a new space and make it my own.

Take advantage of syllabus week Use this free time to get to know your peers, campus before classes really begin MEGAN JONES Assistant news editor

I

truly bonded with my little-did-Iknow best friend during syllabus week. Syllabus week is a small gift between the free time to get better acquainted on campus before the boom of real-life college work begins.

The largest part of syllabus week to take advantage of is meeting new people, especially in your dorm. While you collected tons of little slips during Quad Day for clubs in your interest,

welcome or informational meetings wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin until the first week of September, typically.

Syllabus week is a time to meet people that may have completely other interests than you.

Floor activities may seem awkward or you may feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;too cool for that,â&#x20AC;? but everyone is a freshman too, going through a similar experience. Meeting people is a lot easier during this time because everyone is in the same shoes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just looking to meet someone new.

Some activities, like speed friending, may seem awkward, but it makes you feel much more comfortable in the long run because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be living next to these people for an entire year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

alienate yourself!

Finding friends within your dorm can truly make the college experience feel like home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming out from a long day at work, a study session at the Undergraduate Library or a night out at Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with friends, it always helps to see a smiling face walk past you in the hallway.

When the going gets tough, the friends you make in your hallway can really be there for you.

Syllabus week is also a great opportunity to explore campus. Walk the campus and get a feel for where the buildings are, so if you are ever on the go and need to get to a building fast, you are familiar with the area.

Also, take time to explore Green Street and some of the hot spots in Champaign-Urbana. Once the papers begin, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have tons of time to just explore but only time to go to your favorite locations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so figure out where they are now!

Lastly, attend a football game, particularly in Block I if you can score the tickets. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better school spirit activity to make you feel like an Illini than sitting on the bench, decked out in orange and blue and chanting for the team.

C-U offers unique boutiques for the fashion-conscious student shoppers SARAH SOENKE Features editor

E

ven though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over 120 miles away from any urban area, Champaign-Urbana has its own micro collection of eclectic shopping boutiques for the fashionable Illini to explore and frequent.

Unique, vintage stores can even be found right on campus.

There will always be the Market Place Shopping Center in Champaign and the Urban Outfitters on Green Street. But for those looking for the more exceptional fashion finds, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a list to check out in the local area:

DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

Sara Hudson, owner of Dandelion, displays a dress from her shop. Dandelion sells both menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vintage and retro clothing.

Circles Boutique

is currently looking for a new location but continues to sell its stock around town and through its Etsy shop. The business caters to those looking for upper-end vintage and retro pieces, including menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, footwear and accessories.

114 N. Neil St., Champaign Venture over to Downtown Champaign and students can find a collection of designer brands from around the world. The shop offers womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, accessories and footwear. Storeowner Danelle Jameson selects pieces so customers can â&#x20AC;&#x153;build a wardrobe that lasts.â&#x20AC;?

Located right next to Pekara bakery, Circles Boutique can provide an upscale purchase for those looking for a sophisticated update in their wardrobe. Fans of the store can join its mailing list for updates on sales and events.

Fira Boutique 700 S. Gregory St., Suite E, Urbana On the Urbana side of campus, Fira Boutique recently opened last fall. Anna Anderson, the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creator, started the company in 2012 as a traveling womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing store that visited home and sorority events. The boutique, now settled into a storefront down from Cafe Bene, offers â&#x20AC;&#x153;fashion-forwardâ&#x20AC;? options, all inspired by Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s searches on the latest trends. This should be studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first stop on the look for bright, young and trendy pieces.

Findings Boutique 1741 W. Kirby Ave., Champaign It might be located a little farther away from campus, but Findings Boutique is a worthy trip to take on the Blue, Brown or Gold bus lines. This boutique located in the Old Farm Shops offers designer labels catering to womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contemporary fashion. This shop tends to offer pieces lower on the price range, so the travel time is worth the money saved.

Dandelion Vintage & Used Pop-up, looking for new location Previously down the street from Circles on Neil Street, Dandelion Vintage & Used continues on in Champaign and the local area as a pop-up and online shop. Since closing its old location April 12, Dandelion
