Let’s talk student planners. I’ve been using planners since high school, though I admit it was for the wrong reasons (i.e. I reached that school supply shopping high and cute planners combined with my love for pretty stationery made it impossible to resist each year). However, since transitioning into my college years planners have been incorporated into my school routine and without them, I would not have been able to juggle my academics, nursing school applications, or study abroad applications. I owe my sanity to planners and believe that they are one of the best investments you can make to sharpen your organizational and time management skills.
As cute as some planner are, they are not just for display! Toss them into your backpack or purse instead of leaving them on your desk to insure that you do not miss the opportunity to jot down important dates. Having your planner with you for the first week of school, also known as syllabus week, is vital in managing your time! Professors often give you a timetable of how they’ve scheduled their courses. Here you can usually find quiz/essay/test dates. Write them ALL down in one sitting. This way you can manage your time around these important dates. Also, don’t sweat it if you don’t write in your planner every day. I usually do it once a week, if not every two! And yes, it is because I live a rather uneventful life thus far.
If you’re like me and adorable stationary motivates you to use them, then behold – the ultimate list of cute 2015-2016 student planners to get you all revved up for this year of school! Continue reading
