Back To School Supplies Haul/Organization

 Hey everyone,
I'm starting my last year of high school (eeekk!!!) very shortly, and as much as I never really want to go back to school after 2 months of relaxation and fun, I always get so excited about back to school shopping! I went back to school shopping a few weeks ago and started organizing everything, so today I thought I would share with you the things I purchased and how I organized my planner, binder and pencil case!


 I got these two adorable 1.5 inch binders at Staples.  I only have 3 subjects my first semester, so I decided to get 2 binders and use 1 binder for 2 subjects.  I also custom made these covers myself with the course code of each class so I would know which binder was for what subject. 

 Of course, I needed a couple sets of dividers for my binders!  I like to divide my sections into hand outs and notes, homework, assignments and tests, and lined paper

I also stocked up on lots and lots of paper to last throughout the year and put one package of lined paper in each binder.

 I also picked up a locker mirror and whiteboard.  I already had a lock and locker shelf from last year, so I didn't need to repurchase those!

 My sister and I split a pack of flower magnets and a pack of round magnets so we would get 5 each.

 For some reason, seniors aren't provided with planners, so I went out and found this pink one at Staples.  I'm going to go into a little bit more detail of how I organize this.

 It's separated into monthly sections and each section comes with a monthly calender as well as a daily calender where you can write little reminders or your homework in,  The yellow tab flips to the monthly calender while the blue tab flips to whichever week it is. 

 I added a key on the front page to show which colour pen I use to mark down dates on my calender.  I find that using different coloured pens just makes my planner seem more fun and makes it something that I want to keep up with.  Below is an example of September's calender.  It isn't fully finished yet, obviously and I'm thinking of adding a different colour so I can mark down my work out schedule as well.

 Here's what the day by day sections looks like.

 This is the pencil case that I decided on this year.  Last year I used one from Aritzia and found that it just wasn't spacious enough for me.  I meant to take pictures of everything before I packed it away, but I guess this part can be more of a 'how I organize my pencil case/what I keep inside it' rather than a haul.

 In the front pouches I just keep extra staples, paper clips, sticky notes, reinforcements, my USB, and an eraser.



 I don't generally use pencils as I much prefer pens, but I decided to include a couple just in case I need them!


 I like to keep a large variety of pens. (You can probably tell I love my blue pens ;) 

 Some fun colourful pens!

Lastly, I made binder covers for my brother and sister as well, so I thought I'd include those here!

  4. Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm looking
    to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
    for something completely unique. P.
    S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
