7 Planners to Bring Some Order to Your Semester

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LUC chapter.

As the school year starts up again, there’s plenty to try and keep track of. But worry no more, as we’ve got you covered with these fantastic planners, guaranteed to not only start your year off strong, but to carry you through finals!

If you like keeping everything in one place…

For those who don’t want to carry around several different books, this one’s got you covered. Passion Planner’s design includes a planner, notebook, and bullet journal all in one. Fun little writing prompts are sandwiched between a traditional calendar layout and a handful of blank pages, so that all of your thoughts are organized and accessible.

If you want something entirely your own…

Blue Sky’s personalized planners give you complete control over the cover design, page layouts, fonts, and more! They call out those of us who spend forever flipping through different planners in search of our perfect match. After all, who better to create the perfect planner to work with your schedule than yourself?

If you want some bells and whistles…

This adorable planner from Walmart will set you up with all that you need to stay organized this school year. It comes with a storage pocket, a matching clip-in bookmark, 95 stickers, 175 sticky notes, and a ruler. Plus it’s hardcover, so you won’t have to worry about it getting damaged after all of the hard work you put into making each page perfect.

If you don’t want the bells and whistles…

For a more classic, streamlined look, this moleskine planner from Target is everything. The minimal interior lets you make it your own without the pressure that might come from a more flashy notebook. And its lightweight design makes it all too easy to throw in your bag without weighing you down.

If you want to try a fan favorite…

Lilly Pulitzer has been killing the planner game for years and it’s no surprise why. The eye-catching cover patterns partner beautifully with durable binding, sticker pages, and compact size in a crowd pleasing planner. And, with 17 months to plan your life out onto, you won’t need to look anywhere else until 2021.

If doodles are an essential part of your day…

This Bloom Daily planner is the perfect stress reliever, even as you look at your to-do list. Mostly black and white, it’s just waiting for you to brighten up each page by coloring in the flowers or drawing in your own creations! For the ones who want to bring a little fun back to their adulting: this one’s for you.

If you’re looking for something low committment…

The Mon Journal Diary is perfect for those who want to take things one day at a time. Each monthly and weekly spread leaves space for you to fill in the dates, so you can use the planner only when you want to. Keep it as a special travel planner, use it only for the semester, or simply utilize whenever the need strikes.

Sometimes living your best life means living a hectic life, but with one of these planners by your side, you can go to sleep knowing that you didn’t forget about a single assignment or meeting. And that you managed to look super cute while you’re at it!
