August is always such a bittersweet month for me. As much as I want to hold onto the last bits of summer, I feel so excited for back to school shopping and new beginnings with the new school year. I love shopping for everything from the perfect set of pens to the perfect first day outfit. In this post I am going to share all of my back to school essentials and I hope you all can use some to make this school year amazing! (online or not, it's all about the mindset, right?) ALL PRODUCTS LINKED ON LIKETOKNOW.IT.
1) Tombow pens
Organized and colorful notes are a game changer for me. Tombow pens have been my go-to for every kind of writing because the quality superb and theres two sides to them, so you pretty much get two pens in one.
2) Vera Bradley or North Face backpack https://www.liketoknow.it/ltk/kJd3w5HGVFpzxVJfIdBKi
I have sworn by these brands since high school and still use a Vera Bradley in college. The small investment in these is well worth all the perfect compartments for everything from your laptop to your tiny chapstick. Also, Vera Bradley has patterns for every kind of girl. If you want to go with a bold print that can be seen across the quad or a sleek neutral to go with every outfit, Vera Bradley has it.
3) A Yeti or Hydroflask
This one may seem a little silly, I know. It wasn't until I got to college that I realized how little water I drank. I was so busy I didn't have time to drink what I should've been drinking. Carrying one of these water bottles with me around campus has been such a help in staying hydrated during the super stressful college lifestyle.
4) My "thought dump" notebook
This one is exactly what you think it would be. Just a small notebook I carry in my backpack that isn't my homework planner, but just a place to dump my thoughts. I don't know about you, but I am always thinking of ideas or remembering things at the oddest times. Having my notebook in my bag with me lets me be able to put all my ideas on paper so I don't forget. In my notebook, you will find instagram post ideas, a random recipe I thought of, and even the occasional grocery list. Anything goes in this one and it is so fun to go back and see what I was thinking about 6 months ago.
5) That perfect school outfit
Now, this year will be a little different. Instead of my usual dress, I will most likely be wearing some athleisure the first day of zoom school. Well, lets be honest, the entire semester. Just because most of us will be doing class from home doesn't mean we can't look cute! Fabletics sets are one of my favorite brands to wear and I will be linking my other athletic staples!
I am wishing all of you the best for this for sure memorable semester! I hope this gives you little inspiration and helps get you excited for this upcoming year. Thank you for reading!
