With summer coming to an end, everyone is busy preparing for the upcoming school year. And let's be honest, we all know that shopping for supplies is one of the best parts of the back-to-school season! Here is a back-to-school shopping list to help you get everything you need.
Backpacks
One of the most basic necessities for school is a backpack. Without one, it would be difficult to carry around all of your heavy binders and notebooks. Consider a black or white one so that no matter what you wear, your backpack will always match your outfit. Or buy a vibrant backpack with fun patterns! Whatever suits your style will be the best match for you. Make sure to buy one that is big enough to fit all of your supplies in. Remember, functionality over looks.

Pencil cases
Pencil cases are super helpful during school. They're a great way to carry all of your pencils, pens, highlighters, or whatever else you might need to write with. The best part is they come in every color, pattern, and size you could imagine! They're small enough to fit in your bag but big enough to squeeze in all of your writing utensils.

Planner
During the school year, you'll most likely be drowning in homework, projects, and assignments. That's why it's a great idea to carry around a planner! It's a super effective way to keep track of all of your assignments. That way, you'll never miss a due date! Many planners come with positive quotes for each month to keep you motivated throughout the school year. If planners aren't your thing, opt for a simple lined notebook to write down your schoolwork.

Self-care kit
Something you should consider for the upcoming school year is a self-care kit. In a little pouch, keep band-aids, hand sanitizer, lip balm, hair ties, lotion, tissues, or whatever else you think you might need. This kit is great to keep in your backpack in case of emergencies.

Locker decor
If you have a locker, consider decorating it! Start out as simple as a mirror and a whiteboard, or go crazy with wallpaper, fairy lights, and a rug! Other ideas for locker decor are pictures of your friends and family, a magnetic pencil holder, or some inspirational quotes to get you through your day. Decorate it however you want to make it feel like you.

Lunchbox
Instead of the usual paper lunch bag, get a reusable lunchbox to keep your food in for school! Pick one with good insulation to be sure that your lunch stays fresh. And with all the different shapes and sizes, there's plenty of options for you to choose from.

Water bottle
Staying hydrated is extremely important during school. That's why you should always have a water bottle with you. A reusable water bottle is great so that you can easily refill it. Try a stainless steel water bottle to keep your drink cold all day long!
