Peek Inside My Erin Condren Planner

Are stickers and washi tape basically porn for you? You're in the right place.

Peek Inside My Erin Condren Planner

I'm officially a basic B. No, I haven't been guzzling Pumpkin Spice Lattes or breaking out my sorry-looking Ugg boots (I'm waiting for October like a god damn adult). No, I broke down and bought the Erin Condren planner. Similar to the Lilly planner but irresistibly more customizable, Erin Condren stationary is practically a basic B's calling card. Granted I had just been dumped, so it seemed like a fancy planner would magically whip my days of crying and eating mozzarella sticks in bed into organized world domination.

For the uninitiated or Instagramless, Erin Codren is a stationary empire. Their Instagram is full of motivational quotes, "She designed a life she loved" and almost pornographic sticker flat-lays. The message is clear. Owning boss stationary will make you a boss. You'll do your homework on time because it's so fun to write down assignments with multi colored pens. You'll never miss another dentist appointment because you have a little dentist sticker to remind you of your six month check up. Boys will text you back because you clearly have your life together and independent women are sexy. Total game changer.

These planners are also absurdly expensive. I had a $10 coupon and still paid $60 for one of their most basic versions. It also took about twice as long as the estimated shipping time. So, don't procrastinate like I did if you're getting it for school. But hey, at least it has my name on it?

You can pick from a variety of colors and sayings for the cover. I chose this one because, like any good sorority girl, I love pink.

Each month comes complete with its own motivational saying. Noticing a theme?

Ooooh so much color, I'm so excited to read my textbooks.

Never awkwardly forget a birthday again.

Is it worth it? I'm still single as a pringle and procrastinating on a paper that's due tomorrow. But my sticker collection is fire.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
