Back-To-School Planners Based On Your Major

by Kaitlyn Wylde

While I always hated the end of the summer and was never excited for the school year to start, I was always secretly exited about school supplies. So much so, if there's anything I miss about being in school, it's about going to the local department store and stalking up on new pens and pencils and notebooks, and my favorite, back-to-school planners. Even though the line usually wrapped around the corner and the place looked like a stampede had run through it, it was somehow worth it. Because there's nothing like fresh paper and ink.

Even though I don't technically need them anymore — now that I'm not in school they're not exactly required in the adult world (and most adults use their smart phones as planners) — I can't help but indulge in buying a new planner every year. There's something so great abut writing down your plans in pen. It not only keeps you on schedule, but it helps you to remember all that you've done. And sometimes it's nice to go back and read over all that you've done — it's all too easy to forget the little things.

If you're dreading the end of summer but also secretly stoked to get your school supplies, let these planners turn you onto the new school year — they're thematically inspired by college majors:
