6 Of The Best Planners To Help Kick Off The New Semester

Nothing says it's a new year like a new planner!

One of my favorite parts about going into a new school year is getting a new planner. Planners are one of my favorite things, it is, in my opinion, the best way to stay organized. There are a few planners I have been looking at that I think are some of the best. I have made a list of them in case you are looking for one as the beginning of this school year quickly approaches.

1. Lily Pulitzer Planner

Lily Pulitzer Weekly Spread

This is an agenda that has been a personal favorite since high school. At the beginning of every month, it has a month spread. Then after that page, it has a weekly spread. As students, that is a crucial aspect that some planners don't have.

2. A Passion Planner

Weekly Reflection

This planner is one that is helpful for everyone. Teachers, students, parents – everyone. The weekly spread is set up by the times rather then just a space to write. For example, you can write next to 7:30 a.m. "Spin class." This helps people plan out their days to the half an hour, rather than just writing down what you want to do that day. It also has a page that lets you reflect over your past week.

3. Plum Paper

Monthly Reflections and Goals

This one is my second favorite. I have never had it, however, I have looked at it and made my own one every summer. They can be expensive, but they are possibly one of the best and most universal planners. There are a ton of different add-ons that you can order along with the planner. They have meal plans, wedding planning, budgeting, blog planning, reflection, and so many more. Everyone can use this planner: teachers, students, business owners, parents, and everyone else.

4. Erin Condren's Academic Planner

Projects and Exam Spreads

This one is specifically for students. The first few pages help with keeping any projects and exams you have organized. It also has some pages that you can write notes in in case you forgot your notebook. This planner has everything a student would need, including stickers to remind you of important things such as tests or study groups.

5. A Bullet Journal

Bullet Journal Example: Monthly Tracker

This is something you can make by yourself. Personally, I like to make mine in a Moleskin journal. They are a completely individualized agenda. In fact, you don't even have to use it as an agenda if you don't want to. You can put anything in them. You can make it an agenda, write shows you want to watch, make a daily health tracker, and there are so many more pages you can make. It is all up to you. Making this journal yourself makes it so much more personal, which makes it that much better to use.

6. The Prayerful Planner

Daily Spread

This is the last one I am going to suggest. This last one is one that has a little religion in it. I am putting it in here because there are some people are like to keep God in their day and this is a great way to do it. I personally like to have God in my life, and I think that this is perfect because it is the perfect balance between school work and God.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
