Because let's be real---those gel pens aren't gonna save you.

1. This. In giant mason jars. Hidden everywhere. Office, desk, teacher's lounge, staff meeting room

Drooling as I type this.

2. Without actually talking, I get to drink coffee while I throw the teacher look. And blast a classic hip hop tune.

3. Does not need description

Best price I've seen is 11.99, help a sista out if you hear of any markdowns (UPDATE: 7.79 at Costco!!!)

4. Girl you know you are not going to curl your hair like you plan on doing EVERY first day of school. It's just not happening.

5. WHAT. Stock up on those post-4th of July queso sales RIGHT NOW.

I'm a little scared, but also really excited.

6. Because washing your face before you go to bed is TOO MUCH.

Overpriced, but worth it.

7. Gotta make sure I save enough of my print allowance to get these up on the wall...

Is this legal?

8. Coffee. Find a place in the building and stash it. Put it in the freezer. But freaking buy it in bulk because the worst is 3 p.m. and no coffee.

In my closet, kthanks. With this much coffee, we could close the achievement gap!

9. Buy these to hang from your ceiling to convince yourself that everything is perfect.

Just had to break up a fight over hot fries? Hey look! Butterflies!

Principal walk in right as you were showing a youtube video with inappropriate ads full of scantily clad women and Bacardi? Hey look! Butterflies! At 3.95, you too can convince yourself that everything is perfect.

Bring it on, 2015/2016 School Year.
