Feng shui fiend

L AUREN ROXTON Staff Writer When redecorating your room for the new school year, y remember to keep in mind the flow and energy of the called he room — often o feng shui. This is the perfect way earth ay to get in touch with your y senses. Here are some tips on how to feng shui your new space.

Sense of self You want your room to be a statement of who you are; doing this in the dorms is easy because your name is already written on your door. Colors play a vital part in the sense of self; red embodies luck and good fortune, so try and incorporate red into the signage.

Plants Something living (aside from yourself) is always necessary in a good feng shui room. Try bamboo, as it is low maintenance and hard to kill. If you want to go with something more colorful, head to the farmers’ market and pick some fresh cut flowers to put a sweet smell in the room.

Wall decorations ons Hanging art that has as meaning g to you is important as it promotes a sense of self. You want to be remindremind ded of things that make you ou happyy during stressful times of the year.

Cleanliness An important practice is keeping your areas clean and de-cluttered. A clean workspace is key to a conducive creative mind. Taking out the trash every day allows you to be able to restart every day with a new outlook and not hold anything from the previous day that could be clouding your space.

Functional features Your door should be well oiled, and your bed shouldn’t have squeaky springs. The added noise not only distracts from daily functioning but clouds a person’s aura with unnecessary stress.

Natural light Allow your body to awaken waken natunat atuturally by keeping windows ws open n and an nd letting the sun come in.

Bed placement Your bed shouldn’t be in a compromising position. By placing your feet toward the door and head by a sturdy wall and not a window, you can allow the flow of the room to be functional for your bodily energies.

If it is impossible for you to have your bed against a wall, make sure that there is some type of plant in between the bed and the door.

Electronics You want to keep your electronics at least an arm’s length away from you while sleeping. This allows for not only a deeper sleep but keeps eps those electromagnetic waves aves from getting g g in the way of y your rest.

Best place in home “My favorite place to be in my pad is my ivory chair because it’s extremely comfortable and I am able to put my feet up on my bed while looking out of my windows after a long day of work.”

Inspiration “My inspiration was to create a calm and tranquil feel with ivory and light, sea foam blue colors. My life is very hectic, so I’ve needed to turn my own personal space into a place where I can instantly unwind and relax. I purchased all furniture pieces from Pier 1 and built this tranquil theme around their bedroom selections.”

e m o h t a g n Livi

Where you live while attending UH Mānoa can greatly impact your college experience. When deciding what housing option would best suit your lifestyle, keep these tips in mind.

COST Simple items such as a television, printer or eating utensils will all have to be purchased prior to moving into the dorms. If you live at home, you don’t have to worry about the hassles of purchasing new appliances or other necessities.

AMANDA SHELL / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Living at home can be a great choice for you if you want to save money. Depending on which dormitory you choose, living on campus can get pricey. Different dorm rooms have varying costs for the academic year, ranging from $5,671 to as much as $10,550.

CONVENIENCE

One of the best reasons to live on campus is its convenience. Commuting to school can be a hassle, especially in regards to traffic. However, if you live on campus, the only traffic you would have to deal with is foot traffic, since you’d have the luxury of walking to class. If you ever forget something important, you don’t have to travel far to go back and get it.

Most of the dorms on campus require students to have roommates or share community bathrooms, meaning that you may run into different people during the course of your day.

Another perk of living on campus is that you may be more likely to meet new people. Whether it be making friends with your roommates, your floormates or even your entire dormitory, living in the dorms is a great way to form new friendships that can last a lifetime.

Another reason to consider living at home is to avoid the pain of moving in and out of the dormitories.

Although volunteers will help residents move into their dorms, when it comes to the end of the year there will be no personnel to assist with moving out.

PRIVACY

PRIVACY

SOCIALIZATION

If you don’t like sharing your personal space with anyone, living in the comfort of your own home may be the better choice for you. Since privacy may be hard to come by when dorming, living at home may be the best option if you prefer your space.

Living at home can give you the opportunity to bond with your family and develop friendships with your parents and siblings. When you’re stressed, your family will be close by to provide emotional support.

If you are still unsure of which housing alternative is right for you, there is always time to try both options during your college career to determine which option you enjoy the most. Regardless of what you decide, remember to have fun and make the most out of your college journey.

GUIDE

10 unexpected household necessities PAIGE TAKEYA Senior Staff Writer The best part about living with your mother is that she already has everything you need to lead a comfortable life. Unfortunately, moving out means you’re starting with a dearth of life essentials.

Here are 10 things to add to your shopping list so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

1. CAN OPENER

Soups and SPAM come with pull-tab cans, so it might not occur to you that you need an actual can opener until you’re trying to open a can of black beans with a knife.

Online bill pay is a wonderful thing, and snail mail seems like a thing of the past – until it comes time to mail that rent check.

3. DUSTPAN

Dustpans are expensive, so you may think you can buy only the broom. Do yourself a favor and splurge. You don’t want to be stuck using a piece of cardboard as a tragic substitute for the whole year.

9

10. SCREWDRIVER

Even if you aren’t a handyman around the house, having a set of tools at least means you’re ready for a potential situation. You never know when a screwdriver will come in handy.

9. NAIL CLIPPER

2. STAMPS

4. TAPE

All kinds of tape – scotch tape, masking tape, duct tape. You should have a roll of each for every unexpected need.

4 10

5. ANALOG CLOCK

Even if you have a cell phone, it’s nice to be able to look up at a physical clock untethered to electricity – particularly when there are power outages.

Biting your nails is always an option, but you are a civilized person, and you are better than that.

1

8. HAND SOAP

Right, so you probably remembered to buy bars of soap for when you shower. And you probably have hand sanitizer in your bag. But don’t forget the soap that sits on the sink.

3

6:00 a.m. !

AMANDA SHELL/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

6. CLOTHESPINS

Food clips are so plentiful – until the exact moment you’ve opened a new bag of chips and find that there are none in sight. Clothespins are also useful for laundry, hanging pictures and other DIY tasks.

7. FLY SWATTER

A fly swatter is aerodynamically designed for optimal roach and insect killing. You can even use it as a spatula afterward to throw away the bodies. Don’t waste a good magazine.

Spring cleaning roadmap PAIGE TAKEYA Senior Staff Writer Buying things is easy. Packing said things when you have to move back home is hard. What’s the most efficient way to condense, redistribute and relocate your belongings before a big move? It’s simple enough to just ship everything home if you have a lot of money, but realistically, you’re going to have to downsize.

Here are some tips and tricks to make your move easier.

TIEN AUSTIN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

FOUR TIPS FOR EFFICIENT CLEANING 1. STAY FOCUSED Don’t start cleaning out your closet and then abandon it halfway through to clean your kitchen.

2. LET IT GO It’s easy to think you need every single hat, swimsuit and shot glass you’ve accumulated in Hawai‘i, but you know in your heart that you don’t.

3. BE GENEROUS Give things to friends, neighbors and charity. Getting caught up in trying to make money will only slow you down.

4. DON’T PROCRASTINATE If you wait until two days before your flight to start cleaning, the panic of packing may result in you leaving and taking the wrong things.

THREE PLACES TO DUMP YOUR STUFF 1. CLOTHES If you have a lot of brand-name clothing to get rid of, you might as well make some money by selling it. Hit up Plato’s Closet If your clothes are still in decent shape. Just avoid browsing so you don’t end up going home with something new.

2. BOOKS, DVDS, CDS, GAMES A one-stop shop for unloading your pop culture treasures is Book Off. They may not offer the highest prices, but the location is easily accessible through the Route A bus from campus, and they’ll buy most anything that’s in decent condition.

Call 808-523-8885 or visit platoscloset.com.

1161 S. Beretania St.

Call 808-952-9115 or visit bookoffhawaii.com.

Located inside Shirokiya at Ala Moana

3. GENERAL DONATIONS If you want to do the right thing – and get paid in good karma rather than cash – drop your unwanted stuff at Goodwill. They’ll take most anything within reason – especially clothes, kitchenware and other household goods.

Call 808-737-3284 or visit higoodwill.org.

3638 Waialae Ave.

TWO QUICK TIPS 1. This is a university filled with starving college students, so if you’re really lazy, you could simply add your things to the piles of random stuff left lying around after moveout day in the dorms. Not recommended, but someone might grab something.

2. There are two thrift stores near campus – one run by the Women’s Campus Club and one down in Mo‘ili‘ili Community Center – so you can always try your luck and bring some donations down. Both stores have strange hours, so call ahead to see if they’re open (808-956-7418 and 808-942-0595, respectively).

ONE GOLDEN RULE When in doubt, throw it out. A minimalist life is a beautiful one.

Tips for last-minute dorming A LEX BIT TER Breaking News Coordinator

It’s a potential nightmare: the semester is drawing to a close, but you haven’t decided exactly where you’re living next year.

Whether you put off applying or that plan to find an apartment offcampus with friends didn’t work out, it isn’t too late to apply to live in the dorms next semester. Yes, the lottery is over, but you can still join everyone else on campus by following these tips:

S UBMIT THE HO USI NG A PPL ICATION ANYWAY According to information provided by Student Housing Services, anyone who missed the

initial March 14 deadline to apply for housing has until May 1 to submit the housing application.

Since the housing lottery and general assignment period has already passed, students will have less choices over where they room next year, according to SHS. RAN K YOUR D ORM PREF EREN C ES They may still count. Although you’re less likely to dorm with roommates you know or prefer, you are still able to list your residence hall preferences.

Even if spots in your preferred residence hall are mostly full, you may be able to take advantage of spots that open up when people cancel their

housing assignments or don’t show up come fall semester.

If your prospective roommates missed the deadline too, make sure they apply as well. You may have a better shot at living together, according to SHS. If all else fails, look at dormlike alternatives off campus. Some student housing complexes, such as Kalo Terrace, offer communities similar to on-campus dorms and are still close to campus.

There are also other off-campus choices available through the Off-Campus Housing Referral Program (housing.hawaii.edu/och).

Many of these are long-term rentals that are best for anyone looking for a room where you’ll be able to live in the long run.

Roommate etiquette: stop fights before they happen NICOLYN CHARLOT Associate Features Editor

3. Be courteous. This is always easier said than done, but it is important. If your roommate is trying to sleep, turn the lights off. Do the dishes in a timely manner, and try to keep your side of the room clean. Don’t make a lot of noise when he or she is studying. Many people say that they don’t mind these things in order to be polite, but it will work out better for everyone if you take an extra minute to be as courteous as possible.

The people you live with can make or break an enjoyable living experience. New school years often bring new roommates, be they friends or strangers. No matter whom you live with, it is likely that at some point you will run into a confrontation. Some people may choose to stay quiet and ignore the situation, others may flare up and aggressively try to eliminate the problem and still others may read these handy-dandy tips on roommate etiquette and confrontation.

1. Never leave Post-it notes. Post-it notes are one of the most passive-aggressive and ineffective ways of handling a roommate problem. While it may seem like a good thing to do, it will most likely upset your roommate further and make the situation worse.

2. Don’t wait. If you have a problem with a roommate, don’t wait for it to go away because it probably won’t. Instead, confront him or her early on so you don’t have multiple weeks of pent up rage lingering behind your conversation.

Furthermore, don’t wait to have a general roommate etiquette discussion until halfway through the semester – lay down rules early on, but feel free to adjust them as you go along.

4. Be assertive. If you have a problem with your roommate, bring it up in an assertive manner. If you are aggressive, your roommate will most likely be defensive and unresponsive, or s/he will also be aggressive and escalate the situation. If you are passive, nothing will be done. However, if you are assertive and address your needs in a clear but polite manner, it is likely that your roommate will be more receptive. Communication is essential for any healthy relationship.

If addressing your roommate is too uncomfortable, try to role-play the situation with a friend first to boost your confidence. If you are absolutely unable to confront them and you cannot stand the problem, consider switching rooms.

Ultimately, communication is key. Even if you know you will never be friends with your roommate, at least maintain a working relationship with him or her so you are both comfortable in the shared space. Even though the first time you address your roommate may be difficult, things will become easier later on – once you get through that first conversation, the rest will be less complicated to handle.
