Backpack necessities ⬇️⬇️
I’ve always overpacked my backpack the first few weeks of school so here are my essentials and recommendations for all the girls getting back to school:
Pen/Pencil kit: I got this kit off of SHEIN last year and it was seriously so perfect. It comes with the case, fine tip pens, highlighters, and all different sized mechanical pencils. Plus it comes with refills for it all. 10/10 recommend
Portable mirror: I believe I also got this off of SHEIN last year. It was so great for touch ups on makeup and hair. It also helped me get to know other girlies in my class because I was known as the “mirror girl”. I was able to help other babes out and I loved that. 10/10 recommend
Notebooks: Composition books are good for the classes where you only need to write every once in a while but me personally I just LOVE a good spiral wide ruled notebook 🤤🤤 I save my favorites for classes where we are writing lots down everyday such as English or science. Everyone needs notebooks and honestly don’t worry about getting name brands cause I promise no one actually cares.
Hair and Makeup Bag: I always take a brush and comb to school incase I needed to slick my hair back for any reason or just detangling between periods. I keep things to toutch up my looks and smell in a bag such as deodorant, lotion, perfume (I put sol de janero coco cabana in a portable roller I had on hand), mascara, lipgloss, and chapstick LOTS of chapstick for that dry school air
Random necessities: I have two little containers to keep my personal prescriptions in one and over the counter medicines in the other (you aren’t technically supposed to have them on campus but I’ve never had a teacher punish me or even correct me so I still have em), a tide pen (if you don’t have one in your bag I plead with you to get one girlfriend), spray hand sanitizer (I have the touch land one and a dupe honestly I don’t see a big difference either one works), notecards (perfect for studying), and lastly my very obviously loved paper organizer (this way you can keep your papers flat and keep them organized by class. I haven’t lost a paper since I got it) 20/10 you NEED this. Plus I got it on sale at target. No regrets with that purchase.
Anyways that’s it let me know if I’m missing anything or if you want any further information about the products in the comments 😘😘#BackToSchool #lemon8challenge
Packing the perfect backpack can make the school year smoother and more enjoyable, especially for students who often overpack or forget necessary items. One essential is having a reliable pen and pencil kit. A complete kit with fine-tip pens, highlighters, mechanical pencils, and refills not only saves time but keeps you prepared for any writing task. Portable mirrors, often overlooked, are highly useful for quick makeup touch-ups and hair fixes between classes, enhancing confidence during school days. Notebooks remain a backbone of school organization, but understanding the difference in types can boost productivity. Composition books are ideal for occasional notes, while spiral wide-ruled notebooks serve well for heavy writing classes like English or science. Choosing notebooks based on personal preference rather than brand helps focus on functionality over trends. A well-stocked hair and makeup bag is crucial for maintaining appearance and comfort at school. Including essentials like a brush, comb, deodorant, lotion, travel perfume, mascara, lip gloss, and especially chapstick addresses common discomforts such as dry air and midday touch-ups. Additional items that significantly improve school life include small containers for prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines, despite school policies; a Tide pen for immediate stain removal; and a hand sanitizer spray to maintain hygiene. Notecards are excellent for reviewing study material, and a dedicated paper organizer ensures all class documents stay neat and accessible. The OCR image text referencing "COMP Oxford Composition Book" emphasizes the importance of quality notebooks as part of backpack essentials. Choosing the right type of notebook not only aids note-taking but also supports effective study habits. Overall, the right backpack setup balances practicality, personal care, and organization tools to empower girls throughout their academic journey. Investing in these essentials can reduce stress and improve preparedness, making school days more productive and enjoyable.
Love how all the pens and highlighters match! Nothing motivates me like a desk full of cute supplies—ready to make every note a masterpiece!
