Dorm Room Vibin’: Your Back-To-College Playlist

Read this as quickly as you can.

It’s quittin’ time after your first full week of college and your hallmates are on their way over for your very first impromptu Dorm Hang.  

No pressure. That’s not what you need right now. 

What you need is to cultivate a Vibe. Consider the lighting–Accent lights over overhead lights. See the fan? Oscillate it. Candles are undefeated, may we suggest our Good Vibes soy candle? Disregard, we don’t have time for online shopping. How about ambient visual stimulation? We encourage tossing on a classic movie on the tube and muting it. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Excellent choice.

Oh, almost forgot—the heartbeat of every good Dorm Hang: the playlist. 

The best Dorm Hang playlists infuse a vibe into the room that promotes openness and authenticity. It makes its presence felt, but in an unobtrusive way. It carefully considers the instrument to vocals ratio, as it’s aware that conversation is paramount. It crosses genres and fuses the old and new, the popular and underappreciated. The quintessential Dorm Hang playlist breaks down the 12x19 concrete walls and saddles all involved onto the backs of unicorns to sail over the quad and into blissful lands previously unknown. 

We’re not saying this is the perfect Dorm Hang playlist, but if you happen to find yourself flying through the sky on a mythical horned creature, you’ll know why.
