Backpack Basics

Although the new school year is already in full swing, it is never too late to fill your backpack with important school supplies and necessities in order to ensure a great start to the school year! I know personally, even a month into school, my backpack is already a mess and missing important items. I'm already planning on reorganizing it and here are my top backpack essentials!

Backpack: Finding a good, sturdy backpack to store all your school essentials in is very important and probably my #1 recommendation when starting the new year. A good backpack {I like any from North Face} should last you many years and will save you money in the long term.

Planner: I'm absolutely obsessed with my Lilly agenda! I don't know what I would do without it or how I would keep track of my homework and important events.

Pencils, highlights, colored pens and post-its: An array of writing utensils is important for taking notes in class and working on homework. Personally, I like to color coordinate my notes or highlight in different colors for different subjects. I also use post-its to help organize my notes.

Bobby pins, hair ties, hand sanitizer, lotion, etc: You never know when you might need any of these and it's good to have them just in case! Keep them in a little makeup bag to keep track of everything.

Water bottle: Staying hydrated is important. Drink up!

Ear buds: You never know when you might have to listen to something for a class or when you may have some downtime to listen to music or catch up on your favorite Netflix show (mine is Skins right now)!

Laptop: I honestly don't know what I would do without my Macbook! I use it for everything including homework, Netflix {I'm addicted} and obviously blogging!

Have a wonderful rest of your school year and hope everyone had a good first month!
