Well, well, well. It's that time of year again, isn't it?

1. Target

This one is an obvious one! Target has all your school shopping list needs ready to be picked up and placed in those cute red baskets. Try to go to your local Target store on an "off day" like Wednesday to get the best pick of supplies. Lines tend to be shorter and there won't be that much of rush to get cross everything off the list. Best item: any type of bedding or decor for the dorm room can be found here at a reasonable price.

2. Amazon

Prime, free shipping, endless options. Amazon is the best when it comes to getting those last minute items on your list. Take advantage of their student prime offer and get six months of prime for free! Best item: textbooks. You won't regret it!

3. Walmart

Walmart Store Front

Walmart is great for getting actual supplies like notebooks, pens, etc. Affordable prices and there are always sales going on like 90 cents for a notebook or a pack of pens. Best item: Bic pens and pencils

4. Costco/BJ's

This a great place to buy in bulk. Stock up on food such late night snacks and your endless supply of water bottles. Or you could save even more and get a Brita filter to save even more money on water bottles (and help the environment). Best item: everything. Seriously best place to shop for food when it comes to school shopping.

5. Your own home

You could probably resuse those old notebooks that have only been used once. Your house is probably filled with supplies or items that can be used again and again. There's no need to buy something new, when you can re-use the same item again.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
