The Back To School Essentials For The Fairfield Girl

Although we may not all want to accept it, summer is coming to a close. How did it go by so fast? While we are soaking in the final few weeks of summer, it is time to start thinking about back to school shopping! At least if we have to go back to school, we can get a few nice things to make it easier! Fairfield girls are known for being stylish and having specific, similar items. So there are some essentials that every Fairfield girl needs for this season.

1. Lilly Pulitzer Agenda

If you go to Club Dimenna, you are bound to see dozens of these! It is perfect for keeping track of assignments, long term projects and other miscellaneous notes you will have to put down somewhere quickly over the school year.

2. An ID Case

This is important for keeping track of that all important Stag Card. In an effort to save money by not losing your Stag Card, an ID Case is the way to go. Vera Bradley makes super cute ones too.

3. A Yoga Mat

Although it may seem unconventional, you will be surprised how much use you get from a yoga mat. For those days you don't want to go to the gym or need a little relaxation through meditation, a yoga mat is the perfect solution.

4. Rain Boots

Any returning Stag will know how much of an essential these are. They will help you trudge all over campus for classes in the rain, sleet and even snow.

5. A Tumbler

These are a must for bringing coffee to class or those Point Days filled with sunshine in the fall semester. A must for all Fairfield girls.

6. A Cute Beach Towel

Speaking of Point Days, one of the best things about Fairfield University is being able to go to the beach during the warm weather days. Make sure you bring a towel to soak up those last few rays of sunshine.

7. A Fresh Pair Of Sunnies

Sunglasses are a must for walking around campus, going to the beach and just in life in general. Treat yourself to a nice, fresh pair for the new school year.

8. Colored Pens

These are a staple for Fairfield students. It is a quick and easy way to keep notes organized.

9. A New Pair of Sneakers


Now that the new Rec Plex is almost done, it is the perfect reason to go to the gym more. This obviously calls for a new pair of sneakers to use in all of your successful (or not so successful) gym trips.

10. Water Bottle


These are definitely a must for Fairfield University students in all aspects of life. It is much more economically friendly than buying cases of water and there are so many cute types of water bottles these days.

12. A New Backpack

Always a back to school must!

13. A Portable Phone Charger


Although it may not seem like a necessity, it will come in very handy when you're not by a phone charger for many hours.

14. An Umbrella


This is another rain essential at Fairfield. Don't be caught in a downpour without yours.

15. A Floppy Hat

These are perfect for the incoming fall weather and super fashion forward.

16. Blanket Scarves

Blanket scarves are great for the in between weather of fall and winter. These are well-loved by Fairfield girls.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
