raise your hand if you love back to school shopping!


i'll bet you raised your hand!

back to school shopping is THE best.

all the pencils and notebooks and plaid and the smell of new shoes.

everything is shiny and fresh.

it's like starting over.

there's so much hope and promise in the air.

if you can't tell, i kind of have a thing for school.

i'm so excited to be going back to "real" school 'cause, i'm sorry, esthetician school and various online classes don't count.

i go back on monday, 31 august, and i've got a big list of things i "need."

- sharpie pens in black, blue, green, orange, red, and purple...i like color!
- a binder with the clear cover so i can decorate it, of course!
- pilot g2 05 black pens (i'm sooo specific about my pens - they can't be 07. no no no.)
- bic .5 mm mechanical pencils
- college ruled lined paper - the big, full-sized page kind. i hate wide-ruled.
-dividers
- composition notebooks
- and this lovely notebook cover by princess lasertron. lOVE it!

the back to school clothes list is a post for another time. that list is pretty long for both me and levi. all of our clothes are ragged and breaking....i'm not gonna lie, i'm pretty excited to replace them.

  1. Not raising my hand but only because I am so stinking broke and have 3 kiddos in school.....aaack!
    p.s. Blogger isn't updating us again...grr@them. I think they have a vendetta against us. ;)

  3. It reminds me of the line in You've Got Mail where Tom Hanks says, "If I could I'd bring you a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils." when he's refering to NYC in the fall :)

  4. Hand raised!! I agree, online is not the same as class taught! I'm taking my Certified Financial Planning courses right now online... I get distracted to easily! All my other professional designations were obtained via buying a book and doing self-study (blah!). I loved college... sitting in an acutal class. I'm life long student though, so I'm sure I'll make it back some time soon! Perhaps for to be a Marriage Counselor! I like too many fields. I'll have multiple careers. Anywho, have fun school shopping!! YIPPY!

  5. I was talking to my husband about this last night! I miss back to school shopping!! I want new clothes, new stuff for the apt., new school supplies, and did I say new clothes??

    I'm a little jealous you're going back to school. I miss campus life!

    (I'm also hoping my mom will take pity on my poor-young-and-married status and take me shopping!)

    Good luck with classes!! Did you get that 'thing' figured out? The one you tweeted the other day?

  6. Yay! Have fun- I love school/office supplies! :)
    And have even more fun clothes shopping... I was just blogging the other day about my need for a new wardrobe, too!
    XOXO

  7. That's cool you are going back to school; it's never too late. I feel bad wasting my education but I'm going to take a few online classes at CUNY. It's a bit more than Cal State, but from what I hear, it's more reputable. California is hiring people with tech and media degrees. Apparently an MLIS is not enough :(

    what university did you apply to?

  12. Ah, yes..back to school. I always have to have the first thing I write in the new notebook to look PERFECT. It sets the tune for the rest of the year...what can I say, I was a weird kid. hahhaa.
    I love Princess Lasertron!

  13. this is hilarious...I had a post a while back hating on online classes because school supplies (and other things) were lacking. i also included my ocd for ONLY 0.5 materials and ONLY college-ruled paper...0.7 and wide-ruled are to let people borrow b/c I could care less. hahaha.

  25. I LOVE back to school shopping :P
    There are honestly 2.. no, 3 unorthodox places I'd die to live in:
    1- Stationery stores or book shops
    2- A furniture store
    3- A treehouse
