The fall semester is finally here, which means piles of schoolwork, long hours at your job or internship, and volunteering for extracurricular activities. Staying on top of things can be deemed impossible and overwhelming. Don’t let your busy schedule trump your semester. Let planners and agendas do all the work for you! Tracking assignments, appointments, deadlines, and events will be easier than ever. The constant use of a planner will come in handy once you enter the “real world.” Being an organized collegiette doesn’t have to boring, check out these adorable and affordable planners suited to fit your needs!

Etsy Plum Paper Designs ($16)

I am a huge fan of handmade and personalized items. Plum Paper Designs offers a variety of patterns and designs on their handcrafted planners. If you prefer a larger planner to track your assignments, this will be the perfect fit. Students taking a heavier course load will appreciate the space and organization.
