My Day Designer obsession has reached astronomical levels. Over the summer I purchased a second Day Designer (one of the daily Day Designer for Blue Sky ones) solely to use to organize all my syllabi. I still use my classic Day Designer, I have an old post on how I used to organize it here, but I use it in a slightly different way now that I have a second one just for my classes.
I finally moved into my junior year apartment this past Thursday and it's been so crazy/weird! I am so not used to the level of adulting I've done this weekend. I've gone grocery shopping 3 times [oh my gosh groceries are expensive], I've cooked 5 meals not counting frozen ones, and I bought a rug at a tag sale for $8 and it felt like a victory.
Backpacks are a serious college staple. When I first went to college I was convinced the the tote bags I used in high school would be fine, and I could get away without a backpack - no. I was very wrong.
You know of my great love for the Day Designer, and maybe have developed one for yourself, you'll understand the importance of what I'm about to say - are you ready? Day Designer reached out to me to give you guys a DISCOUNT CODE for their Midyear planners!! (I currently use their Midyear planner!)
As you may know next Thursday I leave for my junior year of college and I couldn't be more excited! The last few weeks before I leave to head back to school are always hectic, but they're arguably my favorite few weeks of the year. I love getting new supplies and finding fun things for my apartment.
I'm one of those people who love getting new school supplies. Not just in a small way, in a 'I walk around staples for fun making notes about what I should get for next semester months ahead of time' way.
The first week of every semester is simultaneously the easiest and most stressful week of the semester for me every year. Even though no actual assignments are due, and your only real responsibility is to decide if you like your classes or not, you're also handed 4, 5 or 6 syllabi outlining your life for the next 16 weeks.
The one college necessity that I love to shop for is sheets! They're the backdrop of many Instagram posts, they're the pop of color and pattern in my dorm, and they honestly just make me happy. But as soon as I'm at school it's almost impossible for me to find these sheets anywhere. So I've found five adorable sheet sets made just for Twin XL!
Two years ago today I sat down, bought a domain, wrote 10 blog posts, took really bad pictures at night, and The College Life Stylist was born. Over those two years it's grown and changed with me; evolving as I have through college and life.
When I started this blog I had no Idea where it would take me, but
