Florence always keeps her room neat. She makes her bed every morning, ensuring a fresh start to the day. Before going to bed, she always tries to clean up any clutter or clothes lying around. Though Florence’s room is smaller than at home, she makes it work. She has a lamp that creates a warm ambiance at night, which is her favorite thing about this room.

This wall is made up of Florence’s favorite things. She loves coffee, so she has a coffee bean plushie and a coffee poster bought during the trip with Japan LEAP. In Japan, Florence also collected several postcards of castles and temples. In addition to the wall, there are pictures of her favorite people, including Polaroids with her best friends, and a poster of her favorite artist, Zach Bryan.

Florence played Rugby for four years before coming to Northwood. The rugby ball reminds her of the sport, storing memories of her old games and practices. Moreover, Florence has two Lego flowers in her room. She loves flowers, so these permanent flowers bring her joy and comfort.

Since Florence’s bed is next to the window, she often enjoys the natural light and has a direct view of the front of the school. She likes how her bed is positioned this way as it opens up the space in her single. On the bed are three plushies that Florence got from her best friend, and they will be next to her as she winds down for the day.
