“I’m Katie, 15, living in New Jersey. This is my current bedroom. It’s the smallest room in my house, only 10’ by 10’ so I got a loft bed to try and make it more spacious. I’m pretty childish, I love my stuffed animals and bright colors, my walls are yellow and lime green. Last Christmas I took some extra colored lights and wrapped them around my bed and never took them down, they’ve become my favorite part of the room. My desk hasn’t been organized in years and I can’t actually use it but I still know where everything is, it’s become a shrine to everything I love and can’t throw away. My mom thinks I’m a hoarder but I like to think I’m just nostalgic. I love my room and even though it’s crammed, it’s cozy and comforting.”—Polishkatie
