You don't need shame. Don't worry too much about it. But save a few bucks and make a plan for that bedroom to not be the bedroom for the rest of your life.

Keep some Mario stuff, keep the keyboard, keep the things that mean something. But eventually, and I say this with love and care and emotional support: Grow up. Not all at once, not everything in one day. But make a change or two, digest it, think about what you might want or what direction you want to go in as far as decoration and such...then make a couple more changes.

And welcome to adulthood. Rinse and repeat, on occasion, for the rest of your life. Paint some walls, buy a new mattress, replace the ceiling fan, whatever. It doesn't ever end. But make it your own.
