Everyday we college students go to class, take notes, study, sleep, eat, repeat. When I’m dragging my things from class to class, I’d like to do it in style. One of my favorite sites may have the promise to break up the routine, and possibly, brighten your dorm room. Etsy.com has a new take on items, selling vintage and handmade things. Etsy got started in 2005, by painter, carpenter, and photographer Rob Kalin who sought to create a site unlike the rest. He and the others responsible succeeded, and the shop owners went on to create these items for you.
