Keeping a bedroom organized is key to a functional living space. If there isn't a specific place for certain items, the room will quickly become a jumbled pigsty full of odds and ends.
To avoid that problem, there are ways to organize that tailor to someone's lifestyle.
Grace Harrison, junior in interior design, said the functionality of a room depends on how it's organized.
"Interior design is combining function with form," Harrison said. "If a space doesn't have organization, you can't actually use it. Even the messiest person has some sort of system of where they throw things."
Organizing a room can take time and work, but there are a few ideas to make it easier.
Harrison said her roommates recently purchased an over-the-door pantry organizer. It has 5-inch-deep, adjustable wire shelves that can be used to store an assortment of items from makeup to food.
Harrison also said clear plastic stackable drawers could help store clothes, especially in a dorm, where one doesn't don't have much closet or dresser storage.
Hayley Hughes, sophomore in interior design, said being in interior design has made her more organized.
"Definitely labeling where you put things would be helpful, or keeping a list of where exactly you put things ... rather than searching for something everywhere, you can just refer to the list," Hughes said.
Many people have a desk in their room to do schoolwork, but usually it turns into a place piled high with junk.
To keep a desk neat, Hughes said she recommends using a shower caddy and hanging it on the wall space above the desk to store school supplies.
Trace Matthews, junior in biomedical sciences and dentistry, keeps his schoolwork organized in bins under his bed instead of at his desk.
"They're just really long, rectangular, thin boxes that slide out from under my bed, and I put everything in there and slide it back under," Matthews said. "That's one thing that's helped me."
Harrison said one of her friends used an extra shower rod toward the back of the shower to hang baskets that stored shower supplies. This way, everyone using the bathroom had their own space to put their soap without cluttering the sides of the bathtub.
Jewelry can get tangled up in a huge mess, but organizational trays in drawers can help fix the problem.
"Always think about how you're actually going to use something," Harrison said. "The basis of all successful design is functionality. The best design, in my opinion, is one that meets your functional needs and doesn't over-clutter."

College can be an exciting time \0xAD\0xAD\0xAD\0xAD-- the anticipation of living alone, making your own decisions and meeting new people consumes most high school students' thoughts as they prepare to voyage into this vast, unknown place.
For me, transitioning from high school to college was probably the most exciting and the most difficult thing in my life.
My 17-year-old cousin, Anna, died my senior year of high school from leukemia, blood cancer.
One minute, I was applying to colleges, signing my life away -- or what seemed like it at the time -- and the next, I felt like I couldn't breathe.
Death is hard to accept and the process of grieving is even harder.
I kept thinking I could cover it up, go out with my friends and forget it happened.
But that's not the reality. When something bad happens, we just need to figure out how to cope.
The hardest part of grieving for me was accepting it.
She died. Even though it didn't seem like I could just go on living in a world where she wasn't, it had to happen. The earth keeps spinning.
Next was denial and dealing with family members.
The only thing that made this better for me was opening up to my family and telling them what I was feeling.
The last thing you want to do is go on family vacations and get-togethers, where there is a lump in your throat the entire time.
Instead of pretending like everything is fine, tell your loved ones what you're experiencing.
Talk about the things that are consuming your thoughts, or at least jot them down in a notebook.
We're human, and we can't keep all of our emotions bottled up just waiting to explode.
In these situations, holding on to your family and friends and leaning on them for support is crucial.
You can't do it alone.
No matter the situation, express yourself.
Everyone goes through tough times.
Keep a journal to write in whenever you're down.
It might help to get those thoughts out of your head and onto paper.
Reach out to others who might be experiencing something similar.
You never know what people have going on in their life. A simple "War eagle" might just make someone's bad day a good one.
When life gives you trying times, express your feelings and talk to people about them.
It helps, or at least it helped me.

I'm an Auburn majorette, and I'm proud of what we do on game day. However, many people don't realize the in's and out's of our hectic schedules.
We are awakened by a harsh alarm at 3 a.m to start getting "game-day ready." The anxiety and nerves have already formed an overwhelming pit in our stomachs as we begin our preparation ritual.
Game-day ready, to us, means full make-up and hair styled in the signature majorette "poof."
After we get dolled up, we have band practice for several hours. Every game-day morning, we run through the pre-game and half-time shows over and over and over again until we're unquestionably prepared.
Many people are unaware that the entire band does not get to perform in every game. We have an alternate system in place so the best of the best are performing each week.
Specifically for majorettes, this means 10 out of 14 will perform pre-game and 12 will perform during half-time. Every week we have pass offs to determine if we are to perform that week.
While most football fans recognize the girls in sparkly outfits on the field, only a few are aware that twirling is actually a competitive sport.
Our purpose as majorettes is to entertain the fans and to perform with the utmost showmanship; however, competition twirling is somewhat different than twirling in Jordan-Hare.
A few girls on the Auburn Majorette Line, including myself, competed before auditioning for a college line.
Competitive twirling is in a gym with just you, the baton and the judges. Here, you can focus on your most difficult tricks. Practices are filled with hours in the gym with a determined coach pointing out your every mistake.
I started competing at a local level, but over the years I worked my way up to the national level where the competition only intensifies.
The competitions host thousands of girls, and boys, in glittery uniforms methodically going through each move in their routines with extreme concentration until it's time to perform.
One drop of the baton - half a point deducted. One break in the flow of the routine - one tenth of a point deducted.
If that isn't a sport, I don't know what is.
On the field, however, the judges are the fans and your sponsors, so there is still some competitive aspect involved based on how well you perform from week to week.
Both competitive twirling and being a collegiate majorette are difficult, but also fun. You feel so much positive energy and adrenaline from performing that you never want to stop.
