Pipsticks Planner
I am always on the hunt for a great planner, and the ones from Pipsticks + Workman Publishing definitely fall into that category. From full calendars to a list of important dates for the year in one place, goal setting, and a spot to jot down what you’re into in that month. The spiral binding allows them to lay flat, while the pockets let you keep mementos or other notes that you’ll need later. These also include coordinating stickers to help dress up your days. You can also get additional books of stickers that coordinate., because, hello. Pipsticks is all about the stickers!
Therapedic Bedding
Good sleep is a necessity to be successful, especially at school. Quality bedding helps you get there. We all know how good sheets feel, but don’t forget about great pillows and a nice duvet. And if you’re in a dorm with a lumpy mattress, invest in a mattress topper. Look for more details about Therapedic bedding soon.
