Back to School Essentials

Sunglasses//Highlighters//Chap Stick//Pen//Tissues//Agenda//Water Bottle

Now that it is pretty much fall, and that I am back in school, it almost seems impossible to not think about studying, sitting in class, and taking exams all of my free time (lovely!!). While I love school, and I really do actually love school, sometimes it's nice to think about the little things that go along with school to not get bogged down by all of the material (yes vet school is just as/ if not more difficult than med school).

I love school supplies, and I have stuck with the same staples for years that have made it super easy for me to feel comfortable in the classroom and have made it very easy to organize my thoughts and my notes. Firstly, it is crucial that when you're walking to school you have at least one good pair of trusty sunglasses. I love mine that I've pictured above (here!) but TBH it all depends on what you're going for when you dress in the morning. I tend to go for more classic designs, so even a Wayfarer or even the clubmaster in this wonderful tortoiseshell!! (Looks terrible on me but wow can some people pull these off!).

I will also say that having a great water bottle can do wonders for your time in and out of the classroom. I personally like ones like the Cambak I have pictured above, but I have had a Brita with the built-in filter and I really like that one as well. This one looks wonderful because you can store cards in it, so going to the gym would be a breeze with this!

I'm going to geek out for a little bit and talk about how much I LOVE highlighters and pens!! Love them, I could not buy too many of these! I personally like the Sharpie highlighters due to the fact that they're highlighters which means that I can focus my eyes towards main points in my notes or Powerpoints from class, but I also have been eyeing these babies for a while (and I actually got them for my little through school as a welcome gift!). I'll write a review of them if I end up buying them, but I'm holding off for now just to save a little money before I splurge.

Last but not least, a good agenda can mean the world between being all over the place and being organized! I absolutely love the Lilly Pulitzer agendas due to their durability and their cute color combinations as well as the wonderful stickers put at the front of the agenda! My new agenda  I got on vacation in the Outer Banks at the same store that I always get it from and I love it to death. It does wonders with my studying habits and organization! Here are a few other planners that would also be wonderful, depending on what you're looking for and what price point.

Happy Friday!!
