The semester is unwinding, and the weeks seem to blur together. Between the papers, tests (that professors always HAVE to include before finals), finalizing summer internships, working, and being a full time student...time does seem short. However, there are a few things that seem to make those studying blues deflate slightly. So today, I took a quick snapshot of what is on my dorm room's desk:
I truly believe every college student needs a HUGE calendar. As you can see, I scribble all over mine. It's a great way to be instantly reminded of events and due dates just by a quick glance.
On the far left corner, you can also see a flash card holder. I take mine with me to my Chemistry classes, and just rewrite formulas and memorize them that way.
Other basic things found on my desk, are sticky notes (with a K, for Kalyn), textbooks, tissues for that occasional sneeze or panic attack, pictures of Pat because I miss him during the week, and a horribly made ceramic pot (by yours truly) filled with fake flowers.
As you can see I have numbered some of the items on my desk. Why? Because I think every preppy girl should have these:
#1. Pink Polka-Dot Lamp (with a K on it, although you cannot tell) from T.J. Maxx
#2. "Stuck on You" Sticky Notes and a Koozie (for that occasional Diet Coke) from Lilly Pulitzer
#3. Thermal Mug for the not so occasional coffee from Lilly Pulitzer
#4. Anchored Weekly Planner to keep my busy life fashionably organized from Sarah Pinto
#5. Cute Love Postcards to send to friends (I Whaley Like You) by ModCloth
#6. Blink by Malcolm Gladwell a great book that really allows you to make great and fast decisions

A Lilly koozie with a Diet Coke in it is definitely a staple on my desk! I'm also addicted to post-its! Good luck with all of your work!
That is where I spend most of my time lately (a cozy desk in the lib). Best of luck on your finals! P.S. Gladwell is a superb writer.
I enjoyed readding this
