Back To School Checklist.. Already.

Guess what? It's August. No really, Just Trust Me, you can even check your calendar. August means school, and school means organization and checklisting. I'm the kind of person that is so flipping ready for the next time of the year. I'm always ready for school to be out, but I'm ready once we go back too. I guess you could say I don't really dislike any time of year! So, long story short I'm ready for the school year. I always eat my words when it's May, but like I said I'm always ready for the changes. I also like schedules! Summer is very laid back and not scheduled, which is exactly what I need at the end of every school year. It's simply fantastic, but there comes a point when I'm bored sitting at home and I just don't know what to do with myself. It's pathetic. This is why I'm ready for school. I know, I'm weird.

Okay, so every year there is a school checklist I usually go by. I love feeling perfectly ready for school! Once again, I'm weird. Want to know what my list consists of? Despite your answer, I'm going to tell you. So sorry.

Clothes.
Every year I have to get a few new things for a fresh start. Some years I have more than others, but I try to always get something. Maybe I'm crazy, but I avoid getting any article of summer clothing when it comes to Back To School shopping. I always get jeans, tennis shoes, and jackets for basics. Heck, I don't care if it's August and 99 degrees, I'm still gonna wear my new jeans! It's just the way I roll.

Organize.
Since I'm doing a whole lot of nothing in the Summer I always try to clean out my closet and room so it's ready for the year. Who wants to spend a precious weekend cleaning out your closet during the school year?! Certainly. Not. Me. Get it out of the way! You're not doing anything anyway. Clean out those drawers, closets and jewelry boxes. They're begging you to. (:

Backpack.
This process takes a lot of time to figure out. What process you ask? Figuring out how your backpack system will owrk. There are many things to consider when deciding on your backpack for the year. 1) Will it fit in the tiny thing they call a locker? Probably not. 2) Will your books fit in it nicely? 3) Will this backpack cause back pain or scoliosis in the future? If so, I'd recommend consulting with your local physician to prevent this type of problem from occurring. 4) Lastly, is it cute?? Do you see why I struggle with this decision?! Just so you know, number 3 is the most important so don't overlook it. Okay, moving right along. I usually choose a tote of some sort. I don't know why, I just like them better. This is a very crucial decision so think it through!

School Supplies.
This is probably my favorite part! What is so exciting about buying school supplies? Don't ask me, but I love it so much. I used to go really early to get everything, but in highschool they tell us what we need on the first day of school. We don't get the awesome list. I guess my advice for this would be to go for the happy medium between quality and affordability.

Well, that's all I got for ya today. I hope you enjoyed! This next school year will be full of surprises and adventures.
