It's that time of year again, and if the non-stop ads running on every media outlet available weren't enough to let you know, it's time to get back to school! This year feels exceptionally different for me because I will be starting my senior year of college. It's weird to consider that next week may possibly hold my very last first day of school ever. I can barely wrap my mind around it!

With that being said, this year, I'm making certain to do back to school shopping like a pro. I may never get the opportunity to do this ever again. Today, I want to share with you some tried and true must haves for me as I head back to school!

• A reliable water bottle: This Brita Hard-Sided 23.7 oz water bottle which is available at Target is perfect for on the go. It's got a really fun color, is easily portable, and helps me to get my daily water in-take way up. Campus life is a constantly active blur and this water bottle is a perfect fit for keeping me hydrated all day! In addition, it's perfect for toting around campus and multifunctional! A total win-win. Also, for home, I love my Brita Space Saver System in turquoise!
• Lilly Pultizer Agenda: I've had a Lilly agenda for ages and I couldn't start senior year without a new one. There are more options than ever as far as Lilly agenda styles/price ranges go. My agenda helps keep me on top of all my tasks for the week and the upcoming month in style!
• Five Star Notebook: I've been using two of these bad boys for the academic year since high school. They're large and have several dividers which means that keeping my class notes organized and separate from one another is never a problem. Plus, they come is a huge range of colors!
• G2 Pens: These pens are exclusively my favorite. They come in variety of awesome colors, glide over paper, and I would be lost taking notes without them. They've also been an unbeatable favorite since high school!

These are just a few of the awesome things I've gathered or restocked up on during back to school shopping, but I love them all so much! I have a feeling this is going to be an amazing year!
