Back to school

Starting senior year is such a mix of excitement and a little bit of 'OMG, this is it!' feeling, right? Getting all my back-to-school essentials sorted for 2025 has been a journey, and I genuinely wanted to share some more details behind my choices and how I plan to make this last year awesome. It’s not just about the items; it’s about setting yourself up for success and keeping things fun! First off, let’s talk supplies. You saw my haul, and yes, my MINIONS BACKPACK is a total statement piece! Who says senior year can’t have a bit of playful personality? Paired with my MiNiON THEMED FOLDERS, it just makes rummaging for notes a little brighter. But beyond the fun, I’m all about functionality. Those ERASABLE HiGHLiGHTERS? A game-changer! No more fear of marking up textbooks permanently or dealing with messy cross-outs. For note-taking, I swear by my THREE COMPARTMENT NOTEBOOK – it helps me keep different subjects or topics organized within one binder, reducing bulk. And you can't go wrong with classic COMPOSiTiON NOTEBOOKS for everyday scribbles and journaling. When it comes to my writing tools, I've stocked up on SHARPiE PENS & 0.9 LED PENCiLS. Sharpie pens write so smoothly, and the thicker lead pencils mean fewer breaks during intense study sessions. And let’s not forget the little things that make a big difference: WHiTEOUT & BOOK TAGS are essential for keeping my work neat and my textbooks easily navigable. Now, for lunch, my BENTO BOX! is a lifesaver. Not only does it encourage me to pack healthier meals, but it also saves so much money compared to buying lunch every day. Plus, it’s eco-friendly! Beyond the supplies, how you organize your school backpack can make or break your day. My top tip for senior year is to keep it streamlined. I use small pouches for pens and highlighters, and always keep my most-used COMPOSiTiON BOOK or THREE COMPARTMENT NOTEBOOK accessible. I also recommend a separate sleeve for your laptop or tablet to protect it. A clear pouch for essentials like lip balm, hand sanitizer, and a few hair ties is also super handy. And what about BTS outfits? Comfort is key, especially during long school days. I love mixing comfy basics like oversized hoodies and graphic tees with trendy pieces like wide-leg jeans or a cute skirt. Think versatile layers so you can adjust to different classroom temperatures and always feel confident. It’s your senior year – wear what makes you feel good and ready to conquer anything! Senior year is a sprint, not a marathon, but don't forget to savor every moment. Balance your studies with extracurriculars and social activities. Make memories, take photos, and really connect with your friends. It's the last chapter of high school, so make it count! What are your absolute must-have supplies or survival tips for senior year? I'd love to hear them!
