Peek Inside My Erin Condren Planner

Are stickers and washi tape basically porn for you? You're in the right place.

Peek Inside My Erin Condren Planner

I'm officially a basic B. No, I haven't been guzzling Pumpkin Spice Lattes or breaking out my sorry-looking Ugg boots (I'm waiting for October like a god damn adult). No, I broke down and bought the Erin Condren planner. Similar to the Lilly planner but irresistibly more customizable, Erin Condren stationary is practically a basic B's calling card. Granted I had just been dumped, so it seemed like a fancy planner would magically whip my days of crying and eating mozzarella sticks in bed into organized world domination.

For the uninitiated or Instagramless, Erin Codren is a stationary empire. Their Instagram is full of motivational quotes, "She designed a life she loved" and almost pornographic sticker flat-lays. The message is clear. Owning boss stationary will make you a boss. You'll do your homework on time because it's so fun to write down assignments with multi colored pens. You'll never miss another dentist appointment because you have a little dentist sticker to remind you of your six month check up. Boys will text you back because you clearly have your life together and independent women are sexy. Total game changer.

These planners are also absurdly expensive. I had a $10 coupon and still paid $60 for one of their most basic versions. It also took about twice as long as the estimated shipping time. So, don't procrastinate like I did if you're getting it for school. But hey, at least it has my name on it?

You can pick from a variety of colors and sayings for the cover. I chose this one because, like any good sorority girl, I love pink.

Each month comes complete with its own motivational saying. Noticing a theme?

Ooooh so much color, I'm so excited to read my textbooks.

Never awkwardly forget a birthday again.

Is it worth it? I'm still single as a pringle and procrastinating on a paper that's due tomorrow. But my sticker collection is fire.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
