Summarize the following:
As the senior, you should practice different poses in a mirror before the session so you can feel confident when it’s time to take the photos. Aim for natural photos that flatter your body and personality type. Try to create soft angles, like bending 1 arm slightly or turning your hips to the side. Put your chin slightly down to create the most flattering photos of your face. Avoid standing still with your arms at your sides.  For a more feminine pose, put 1 foot slightly in front of the other and shift your weight to your back leg. Typically, the photo is more flattering if you are standing with your legs slightly apart. For a more masculine pose, spread your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart and cross your arms or clasp your hands together. Don’t underestimate the value of a candid photo. Act as if you were having a conversation with your best friend if candid photos are taken. If you aren’t keen on getting your photo taken, you may be hoping to get it over with quickly. However, rushed photos likely won’t turn out as well and won’t capture the look and vibe you’re aiming for. Take all the time that is necessary to get the best photos possible. It’s normal to be shy, especially if you’re not comfortable having your picture taken. But, you should keep in mind that this is your time to show off and the photos should capture your personality! If you feel comfortable and natural, the photos will reflect it.  If you feel nervous, take several deep breaths to calm down. Don’t be afraid to tell the photographer you need a few minutes to collect yourself. It may also be helpful to have a parent or friend with you at the shoot to help you feel more comfortable.

summary: Find poses that are natural for you. Take your time during the session. Show your personality during the photo session.

Most dorms have strict rules about hanging decorations with nails and painting the walls, among other things. Always check the rules and regulations before you do anything that might be a violation.  Adhesive strips and hooks make it possible to hang nearly anything on your walls without leaving a mark, so don't feel that you are limited in your design options! Some dorms may also prohibit you from hanging anything from the ceiling, even if it doesn't create a hole. Most dorm rooms do not allow you to burn candles or incense, so look for fire-free ways to add a nice scent to your room, like oil diffusers. Fire codes may also limit what you are allowed to hang on your door. If you'll be sharing your room with one or more other students, it's a good idea to start talking to them as soon as possible to determine what each of you is bringing. You can coordinate so that each of you brings one or two large items that will be available for everyone to use.  For example, you can hang pictures on the right side of the dorm, and your roommate's on the left. It also helps to talk to your roommates about likes, dislikes, and color preferences. If you come up with a design plan together, your room will look much more cohesive.  Be sure to talk about practical things like dorm fridges, microwaves, and televisions, in addition to decor items. Go shopping for new items with your roommates if possible. This will be a great way to get to know each other while decorating your room. It helps a lot to know exactly how much space you will have to deal with before you start buying items to decorate your room with. If possible, visit the dorm rooms yourself and take measurements of everything (Including the existing furniture). If you can't do it yourself, call your college and see if they can provide you with measurements. Remember that you can't fill every square inch of your floor space with furniture. When deciding how much will really fit, be sure to take walking space into consideration. You do have to deal with the furniture that comes with your dorm room, but there's no reason you have to leave it in the same place! Feel free to move things around to create a space that works for you and your roommates.
summary: Play by the rules. Talk to your roommates. Get measurements. Don't be afraid to rearrange.
