Howdy! I used three of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F51A8U/ and tied them together using ribbon, then bought 4 yards of slightly stretchy neon green 60" wide fabric to make the outer part with. The main body is one solid piece sewn together on one side with a circular piece sewn to the top. The rest of it was pretty straightforward, using felt for the eyes and hemming the mouth hole. Took about 8 hours altogether of learning to use a sewing machine, pinning the fabric, assembly, etc.
Here are my tips:
1.Don't buy stuff you don't realistically see yourself using. I bought a shoe organizer that folded under my bed and didn't use it once (seeing as I'm a guy.).
2.Most "dorm" marketed stuff is garbage, these things suck:http://www.amazon.com/Honey-Can-Do-HMP-01127-Pop-Up-Spiral-Hamper/dp/B001F51A8U/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1344448495&sr=8-16&keywords=laundry+basket
buy a real laundry basket like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-12158006-Laundry-Titanium-Handles/dp/B001E4XEW2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1344448703&sr=8-3&keywords=laundry+basket
3. Headphone GODDAMNIT HEADPHONES! Nobody wants to hear your music and you dont want to hear theirs, I've had these for two years and they are amazing:http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-XB500-Diaphragm-Driver-Headphones/dp/B001RB24S2/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1344448786&sr=1-4&keywords=sony+mdx
4.If you have communal bathrooms, buy and bring your own toilet paper, its a gift from the heavens.
5.Crock pot: Get one and learn its magic. No cafeteria food is still good after a month and I've never heard of a dorm not allowing crock pots.
6.Full-size comforters are fine on the weird "xtra-long twin" beds, but the sheets must be correct.
7.You might have to put some things on hold for awhile, your life will not be the same. I love shooting and hunting, but I had to learn to do without my first year. Don't sit around and mope about it, find something new to do. Don't replace old hobbies, just try new things you also enjoy.
