14 Cute School Planners To Organize Your Life
I know — you just put away your flag bikini from the Fourth of July, so perhaps reminding you that the next episode of your academic career is just around the corner is mildly spartan. But diligent back-to-school shopping requires time and effort, and you don't want to just pick up any old thing from the seasonal section of the store. You'll be super busy, as you always are during the school year, so you'll need a place to write down all of your due dates, study meet-ups, and notable parties. So, without further ado, here are 14 cute school planners that will have your schedule looking great.
When I was in school back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, a lot of public schools would hand out objectively hideous agendas with funny, now hilariously dated study and life tips. Now, Millennials with our passion for '90s nostalgia and growing buying power have made super cute planners a regular thing to buy— understanding that we could, technically speaking, just use our smartphones to keep track of our schedules.
But my smartphone isn't cute, and I can't put stickers on my calendar app. So here is a boatload of awesome planners for your back-to-school shopping needs.
1. If your future's so bright
Girl Crush 17-Month Planner, $20, Bando
This 17-month planner starts in August 2016 and goes through December 2017. And the sassy lady with the periwinkle hair is totally trendy.
2. If you wish summer would last all year
Pineapple Pattern Planner, $23-$26, Minted
This planner from Minted has these cute pineapples on the cover, and it comes with stickers! You can also decide whether you prefer a monthly or weekly breakdown for your planner.

This motivational planner starts in July 2016 and will remind you to be bold and adventurous through December of 2017.

5. If you want a good chuckle before you check your calendar

6. If you like to keep things classic
18-Month Moleskine Planners, $24, Moleskine
Moleskine is the classic planner brand, and will perfectly complement your prepster back-to-school look.

11. If you also kind of want a diary
2016-17 Triangles Agenda, $25, Etsy
This adorable graphic print agenda has loads of lined pages for writing in notes, diary entries, recipes, reminders, or just doodles that you mindlessly drew during a particularly dull lecture. You can even choose from July, August, and September for your opening month.
12. If you want a little personal touch
Striped Lines Planner, $23, Minted

13. If you want to prioritize your emotional health too
