Cougar Place (with Manal Mathew)

Dorm Tour #3 from University of Houston

As a Third-year RA, every time I see this tree, I got it for myself when I first got my job offer. And ever since, it’s been a reminder of how far I’ve come in life, even professionally. So I really like seeing it, especially at night. It just lights up the whole room and gives it a very warm sensation.

Hi everyone! I’m Manal and welcome to Dorm Tours. Here’s my room at Cougar Place. Let’s go in!

So as you can see, I love my comfort. I think of my room as my little wonderland. It’s very cute. It’s very me and a lot of people who met me know that I dress entirely in black and white, so no one would guess how pink and cute my room is. But I love it.

So here we are. This is my bookshelf. I love being able to have access to all my jewelry and books whenever I have the time. And my paint rack to express my creativity wherever I go.

As you can see, here is my desk. Probably my favorite part of my room. I have a lot of core memories here. I do my nails here, I do my school work here, I do creative activities with my partner here. Everything is awesome and the “Be You” sign constantly, it’s like a personal message to myself. I’m a very sentimental person, so I like the reminder, especially when I’m just sitting in bed at night.

Here is all of my, or here are all my snack bins. They’re adorable. All of my family and friends, and whoever comes to this room probably love it the best. As you can see, I have lots of options for every snacker.

Below them are my micro Sanrio collections and my Funko Pops that I treasure very much. And actually, this flower here, as you can tell, I’m someone who likes to repurpose a lot of things. So, from our graduates here at the University of Houston, a lot of people like popping confetti for their pictures, but some people just end up forgetting to clean it up, so I remember my friend and I went around one day and we picked all that up, and I handmade that flower, and now every time I see it, I’m reminded of that beautiful memory.

Here is my living room. As you can see, it means a lot to me. As a Third-year RA, every time I see this tree, I got it for myself when I first got my job offer. And ever since, it’s been a reminder of how far I’ve come in life, even professionally. So I really like seeing it, especially at night. It just lights up the whole room and gives it a very warm sensation. And it’s perfect for late night heart-to-hearts with my family and friends.

Over here is my kitchen area, and actually, right here, is probably one of the fan favorites of my room as well. Can you guess what’s in it?
Ta-da! It’s my skincare closet, so as you can see, I can easily grab my skin care on the go, with my bathroom without having to worry about storing everything.
And down here is actually my entire slime collection. As an avid slime fan, ever since I was a kid, I used to sell my own slime too, so every single one of these has my love poured into it, because I’ve thought of it and created it from scratch, from their names to whatever ingredients and scents they’re made of.

Right here is my bathroom! Let’s go on in. So as you can see, like I said, I’m an avid skincare girlie and I have my skincare fridge here. So for those of you who are worried, don’t worry, you’ll definitely have room for your skin care.
Right here is all my other stuff. And I have my beautiful shower here, and right here, actually, behind, I like thinking of everyone and like being very inclusive, so as you can see, I have different products for anyone who needs so they don’t have to worry about asking me if they need to access them.
Just little things like that, really makes it go far, you know.

But yeah! This is my tour for my dorm and thank you for coming with me. Bye bye!
