i am kinda excited but very scared because i still have alot of stuff to do before school starts
so naturally i still have stuff to-do, of course
so today i wanted to share what my to-do list still consists of at the moment:

  • label all of my school supplies
  • make my binder covers
    • you can download ones that i made here blue / pink / purple
    • follow the link onto the website : canva where you can edit and change to which class or block you want for your own binders!
  • put together your uniform / outfits for school days
  • put together my backpack
    • organize my essentials kit (advil, eye drops, mints/gum, hair ties/hair pins and lotion, etc.)
  • put together my locker
    • grab my carpet, locker shelf and mini white board
  • take a trip to costco
    •  buy easy snack options and last minute paper needs
  • make copies of my schedule for around the house and different school supplies
    •  i like to print out my schedule and hang it in different locations around my house to help to memorize my schedule
  • organize my desk area
  • organize my white / cork boards
    •  throw away unnecessary papers, etc

i have to admit, this is kinda all i have to do except for homework!
so tell me what you still are having to do before school!

so first, here is my backpack:
L.L.Bean Deluxe Book Pack -$29 (on sale right now!) : I have had this backpack for many years now, I usually switch up my colors so this year i picked the color dahlia purple this year. I also had it monogrammed in the style “initial flared” a new style for me this year, but i absolutely love it!

here is my water bottle:
32 oz Wide Mouth Hydroflask -$39.95 : okay, so this water bottle is a little expensive, but it’s a REALLY GREAT WATER BOTTLE. it keeps cold up to 24 hours, and I’ve tested this, i brought it to all day girl scout camp and on an overnight and i didn’t open the bottle till the next morning and there were still large pieces of ice! so basically i just LOVE cold water!


and i have my iphone case and my pencil case!
i have a
iPhone 5 Battery Case , Maxboost Atomic S iPhone Charger For Apple iPhone 5s -$29 : this is a super iPhone charger case! on top of being super cute, it is super functional because it charges so well. so when you forget to charge your phone the night before school you still have access to your phone because of this case!
0.55 liter Really Useful Box – $2.99: this is just supposed to be a storage box, but it works terrifically as a storage box. it holds all of the pens that i need as well as some washi tape and some post-it note flags!
so all, that is pretty much it for my essentials!
i hope that you enjoy, if you have any school essentials please share it with me!
