As summer draws to a close, going back to school is on everyone’s mind. Whether you are an incoming freshmen, an established senior, or in-between, having a good semester is something to think about. If you’re like us, you like to invest in worthwhile, yet adorable things to help ensure success. We decided to do some shopping and research for you, so here are the X adorable things you need for the best semester ever.
1) A super cute water bottle to keep you hydrated and motivated.
This water bottle was found, of all places, at DSW! It is a double-insulated steel bottle that can hold either hot or cold liquids, making it perfect to take on the go to class or work. Not to mention, it’s adorable.

2) An agenda you will actually want to use.
Planners and agendas are always purchased with good intentions, but with the convenience of mobile calendars and reminders that pop up with Snapchat notifications, it can be hard to resort back to pen and paper. However, there are perks to using the ole fashioned pen and paper, including how cute they can be. There are tons of planners out there, but we narrowed it down a bit for you.
If you are looking for a place to start a bullet journal and let people know just how busy you are, this planner is the one for you.

If you want something with a bit more structure, check out this one from Vera Bradley. It comes with stickers so you can label your meetings and nights with the girls accordingly.

3) A notebook that will help you take all the notes.
Have you ever had that one class that you just loved going to and actually liked taking notes in? Unfortunately, not every class will feel like that one, but with a cute notebook, those mundane lectures can be a little bit more interesting. If you appreciate cute, yet necessary things, this Kate Spade notebook will get you through those lectures and cramping wrists.
And it says, “budding genius,” which is obviously what you are! Check out the notebook here, and check out great notebooks at Papyrus.
4) A mug for when caffeine is more than necessary.
Ah, caffeine. If there is anything that fosters success, it’s the magical potion called caffeine. Whether you are a coffee or tea drinker, a cute mug can put a small smile on your face in the morning when you are still bleary-eyed. Even if you are a caffeine consumer, college is the time of improvisation, so you can always use a mug for decorating or storage purposes. Or maybe you drink wine of it.
However you choose to use your mugs, you can choose to again let people know how busy you are. You can find this one in our very own Her Campus Shop!
