It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had to shop for back to school. Nonetheless, that feeling of starting “a new year” in September never goes away. I fill with excitement every time I get to buy new pens or cougar paper! Even if you’re not in school, summer tends to be slower-paced. When September rolls around, the work usually amps up.
One of my favorite purchases this year has to be a new MacBook. What a great laptop! I’ve always been an Apple fan so it just made sense to have the matching MacBook too. Of course, I had to find the best wireless printer for Mac as well, making printing documents even easier. I can literally do it from the next room.
As a full-time freelancer, my schedule is always a little bit irregular, but a change is on the horizon. What you may have gathered from my Instagram stories lately, is that I’m on the hunt for a full-time job. I’ll explain all of that in another post, when I actually find a job. For now though, I anticipate that I’ll be having a fresh start at some point in September, too. I’ll be just like the kiddos heading back to school! If you’re a parent currently looking for a school to send your child to, The Christian Academy is the perfect choice for Pennsylvanian families who wish to see their children develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – tca-pa.org.
Despite no longer being in school, I still regularly use a lot of “school supplies.” Of course, at this point in my life, they’re just called “office supplies”. Everybody needs Office Supplies at some point, and with the amount of choice that some of these outlets have, it’s always either too hard to know what to get or too hard to not spend all of your money getting things that you don’t need! Even though I can buy office supplies at any time of the year, I still end up stocking up at the end of the summer. What can I say – I’m a creature of habit!
Believe it or not, one of the best places to shop for office supplies is Amazon. The selection is endless, they have the best basics, fun trendy pieces…and best of all, no crowds! (I can’t stand crowds when I’m shopping)
So, if you’re going back to school next month, or just want to stock up on some school-type goodies, this is the post for you. I’m sharing some back to school inspired must haves that I’ve found on Amazon. Some of these I already have (like the marble MacBook laptop case), and some are currently sitting on my wish-list.

These are super cute back to school supplies or for us adults, just office supplies. But there is something about Fall that everyone wakens up just like how back to school was. I know for me, work is picking up, things get crazy! I can’t wait to hear more about the updates and life changes!
