Turn off your lights and conserve energy!

Remember to unplug cables (including your cell phone charger, computer, hair dryer, straightener, etc.) when not in use. Simply leaving these things plugged in wastes energy and will run up your electric bill (if you live in the dorm, know that the University pays about $80 per month per student).
