It's August and the first day of school is right around the corner.
Retailers are stocking their shelves full of school supplies for the upcoming year. Sometimes when seeing all of the school supplies together it's hard to analyze what you actually need and what you might need.
So before you go back-to-school shopping, make a list of everything you need. Depending on what classes you're taking, your supplies list may vary.
However, there are basic school essentials that everyone needs for their education. Here is my list of basic school essentials with recommendations.
1. A sturdy backpack

2. Notebooks
note books

3. A planner
