last semester school supplies

As I'm gearing up for my last semester in school ever (ahh!) I'll need to pick up a few more school supplies to get me through these next four months. (again - ahh! Only four months left....) These are the tried and true supplies I've used every semester that keep me organized.

Post-it notes

I couldn't imagine not having post-it notes! I use multiple post-its daily, to write down everything from reminders to short- and long-term lists.

BiC mechanical pencils

Since freshman year I've been using these pencils! Each pack comes with 12, and I'm actually only on my second pack since then.

Highlighters

From my planner to study guides to notes, I color code everything with Sharpie highlighters. I wish there were even more of a variety of colors!

5-subject notebook

I'll need one last 5-subject notebook. I've used one every semester, and each year I've used a different color. (Freshman year was dark red, sophomore year purple, junior year green, and senior year orange.) However, I'm taking six classes....so I might have to get another small 1-subject one, unless I have a class where I don't take notes in. We'll see.

I still can't believe I have a week and a half until the whole "second semester senior year" thing starts. I love college and am not ready to leave quite yet! :/

PS - outfit posts will return soon - still getting some laptop issues resolved!

highlighters

I am a visual person when it comes to organization. I like to have all of my lists laid out and color coded if possible. Each of my classes has a different designated highlighter color in my planner, and the same goes for work and other activities outside of school. Color coding is a visual way to look at how much needs to get done for certain things.

Here are some great highlighter options. My preferred brand is Sharpie, but there are some other good highlighter brands too!

Simple. To the point. Extra colors in case the first one dries out. I bought a pack of these this school year and they are wonderful.

I got a 2-pack of these recently. They are great for highlighting notes! The small Post-It flags are very convenient and I am currently sticking them in some library books I am using for a research paper. The Post-Its will bookmark the page and won't leave a rip when I take them out to return the books.

Lilly Pulitzer (left) and Jonathan Adler (right) brand highlighters! The fun prints will brighten up the un-lively task of taking notes.

I found these Dylan's Candy Bar highlighters on the same website as the Pulitzer and Adler ones above. These highlighters not only come in fun prints, but are scented too! It's like the grown-up version of Mr. Sketch Scented Markers.

Highlighters are a great way to color code notes, lists, calendars, and schedules. They're also fun to have on hand if you go to a neon or black light party! ;)

Enjoy the rest of the semester!
