The Back To School Essentials For The Fairfield Girl

Although we may not all want to accept it, summer is coming to a close. How did it go by so fast? While we are soaking in the final few weeks of summer, it is time to start thinking about back to school shopping! At least if we have to go back to school, we can get a few nice things to make it easier! Fairfield girls are known for being stylish and having specific, similar items. So there are some essentials that every Fairfield girl needs for this season.

1. Lilly Pulitzer Agenda

If you go to Club Dimenna, you are bound to see dozens of these! It is perfect for keeping track of assignments, long term projects and other miscellaneous notes you will have to put down somewhere quickly over the school year.

2. An ID Case

This is important for keeping track of that all important Stag Card. In an effort to save money by not losing your Stag Card, an ID Case is the way to go. Vera Bradley makes super cute ones too.

3. A Yoga Mat

Although it may seem unconventional, you will be surprised how much use you get from a yoga mat. For those days you don't want to go to the gym or need a little relaxation through meditation, a yoga mat is the perfect solution.

4. Rain Boots

Any returning Stag will know how much of an essential these are. They will help you trudge all over campus for classes in the rain, sleet and even snow.

5. A Tumbler

These are a must for bringing coffee to class or those Point Days filled with sunshine in the fall semester. A must for all Fairfield girls.

6. A Cute Beach Towel

Speaking of Point Days, one of the best things about Fairfield University is being able to go to the beach during the warm weather days. Make sure you bring a towel to soak up those last few rays of sunshine.

7. A Fresh Pair Of Sunnies

Sunglasses are a must for walking around campus, going to the beach and just in life in general. Treat yourself to a nice, fresh pair for the new school year.

8. Colored Pens

These are a staple for Fairfield students. It is a quick and easy way to keep notes organized.

9. A New Pair of Sneakers


Now that the new Rec Plex is almost done, it is the perfect reason to go to the gym more. This obviously calls for a new pair of sneakers to use in all of your successful (or not so successful) gym trips.

10. Water Bottle


These are definitely a must for Fairfield University students in all aspects of life. It is much more economically friendly than buying cases of water and there are so many cute types of water bottles these days.

12. A New Backpack

Always a back to school must!

13. A Portable Phone Charger


Although it may not seem like a necessity, it will come in very handy when you're not by a phone charger for many hours.

14. An Umbrella


This is another rain essential at Fairfield. Don't be caught in a downpour without yours.

15. A Floppy Hat

These are perfect for the incoming fall weather and super fashion forward.

16. Blanket Scarves

Blanket scarves are great for the in between weather of fall and winter. These are well-loved by Fairfield girls.

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.
