I am so excited to be giving away not one, but THREE Day Designer Academic Year Daily Planners. I've already started using mine so much and it's honestly the best planner I've ever had!

I love the flexibility of how you can use the Daily Planner! See how I organize my planner here. This planner has so many features including:

This has been a highly requested blog post! This is actually my first time using a Day Designer and I am so so excited to get my life even more organized! I'm still learning the best ways to get the most out of my new planner, but this should help if you are new to Day Designer.
Monthly View
What I really like about Day Designer is their clean layout. It feels so refreshing to start planning on a "clean slate." I use the monthly view to map out big events, birthdays, bills, exams (when I figure out when those are!!!) I find that the Day Designer squares hold a lot of information for even the busiest of months!
Daily Pages
Something that I'm not familiar with is having an entire page dedicated to a day. But I've found that I really like it!!! In the past, my planners have only featured weekly pages to plan my days. With the daily page, it makes it really easy to schedule and get a glimpse what times you're free. I sometimes find myself wanted to agree to an event, but then realize that I have something going on at that time! This feels like a tangible Google calendar (if you are familiar with those) and you can prepare for busy or free days.
The to-do list on the side is so so helpful for jotting down to-dos and not getting swamped with sticky notes (#guilty). I also am such a fan of the helpful tabs up top like dinner and due dates. I will use these A LOT during the school year.
A fun thing about the Saturday/Sunday page is this at a glance of the next week. I plan the Sunday the week before and fill this in so when I sit down to plan my next week, I already have a pretty good reference of how busy I'll be. It also is fun to use if you have something exciting coming up to look forward to.
Front Page
Other than writing your contact info in case you lose you planner, I like to use the first blank page to attach my color code for the planner. I have a different color for each of my classes that translates into my schedule and to-do's. I also put down dates that occur every month (like bills) so when I'm planning for the next month, which is something I do the last week of the month before, I can put those down first!
Ideal Schedule
This is my favorite part I think!!!! You can literally map out your perfect week which is helpful when you are taking classes, have clubs, work, etc. It keeps you organized and gives you a general idea of what to expect week to week. While no two weeks are the same, it's a helpful reminder!
Let me know what you think! If you are new to the Day Designer game, was this helpful? Also let me know which planner design you got/plan on getting! If you are a Day Designer pro, share your tips below! I would love to know how you utilize your planner.

I saw "Solo: A Star Wars Story" yesterday and let me just say...
IT WAS AMAZING.
I was a little hesitant about the choice in casting for Han Solo, but Alden literally was born to play this part. The movie is super easy to follow along, even if you aren't a Star Wars fan!!!!
So what I'm saying is: you should go see this movie.
My mom and I both agreed it was one of the best Star Wars films we've seen. It had the appeal of the original Star Wars storyline with new characters and amazing effects that the OG films lacked. But the only thing I loved more than Alden Ehrenreich was the style of the movie.
It was super retro and had some great fashion, @Lando's impressive collection of capes. This has got me in the mood to go all out in Solo inspired looks. Catch me wearing my flared jeans for the next month.
If you are looking to amp up your closet after seeing the movie, I've added some items that are inspired by the retro feel of this movie!
This has been a requested post for a while now! It's been almost 3 years since I first moved into my freshman dorm. While many things have changed since then (my hair and my fashion sense), I still use almost everything that was in my first dorm room.
I've lived in my sorority house for the past two years and will be living there again for my senior year! Some things I've decided to leave behind (my huge TV that took up half of my dorm) and some things I've decided to add (all the Phi Mu things!!!). Freshman year dorms require a lot of stuff. I remember how nervous I was that I'd forget things when I moved out. The list I came up with are the ESSENTIALS plus a bonus list of things I had, but definitely didn't really need.

Just got back from the best weekend at Disney! So the rain didn't stay away (peep my hair) and the humidity was high, but that didn't stop me and Shelby from enjoying the weekend!
We got to celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Epcot on Saturday! Shelby even let me *borrow* her Free People set that gave me all the fiesta vibes! We got the Rose Margarita, which is the best margarita I have ever had!
We got to hang out in the Mexico pavilion for a couple of hours and even met Donald (which was definitely worth the 15 minute wait.) Surprisingly, Epcot wasn't too busy so we were able to snap a few pics around Mexico. Shelbs and I didn't catch the derby, but we were a little preoccupied hiding out in gift shops while Florida decided to monsoon (lol.)
What did you do for Cinco de Mayo? Let me know in the comments below!
