Midterms are almost here, your classes are swamping you with homework and projects, and you don't have enough sticky notes to hold your life together.

So what do you do? You get a planner. Don't go to Wal-Mart, skip Target (this time), and don't even mess with Lilly Pulitzer. I went through several Lilly Pulitzer planners before I found my one true [planner brand] love.

Erin Condren.

Her planners are everything. She has life planners, monthly planners, weekly planners, academic planners, wedding planners, teacher lesson planners, and several different sizes for each one, too. If you are disorganized for any reason at any point in your life, she's got something to set you straight.

What's even better about these planners, is that you can customize them. As someone whose name is never on anything (no fun keychains or anything like that as a kid) having my name on something means more than it probably should.

Let me show you my actual planner. It's great:

Isn't it beautiful? The rose gold is metallic on the front cover and back cover, too.

Here's a couple of my faves as well. Her style is just so fun, has a variety of patterns that are totally different. That's a huge difference between Erin Condren's planners and Lilly Pulitzer's planners.

LP has cute stuff, don't get me wrong. But it all kinda falls in the same boat of floral or watercolor-ish. Erin Condren has floral, animals, patterns, and so many different color variations.

Plus the insides of the planner are ridiculously fancy and organizable.

Before each month in the weekly-detailed planners are "projects and exams" sections so you can really flesh out what's going on for a certain project.

Plus I love the checkboxes already in the planner; they make me feel so accomplished.

So obviously I'm all in for these planners, and this might've been a review of them, or it might've been me advertising the heck out of them, or maybe it's just me being grateful for the organization in my life. It just does wonders.
