Back-to-School Essentials Collab! Fan Girl (Alisha)

Hi, everyone! Before summer began, I met an amazing girl through a The Fault in Our Stars trailer video on YouTube. We started talking, and soon became really good friends! I suggested her being a guest blogger here on my blog, and she agreed! We knew back-to-school season was quickly approaching, so we decided to put together some school essentials! We wrote all about EIGHT ESSENTIALS and I wrote some party planning tips! Also, for a link to Alisha's awesome YouTube channel, go below! For more fun and future collabs here on my blog, make sure you follow me!

Hi, my name is Alisha and I have a youtube channel called 'Fan Girl' where I upload videos of my favourite tv programmes, films etc. 

I enjoy making youtube videos, reading books, playing my guitar, going to the cinema and becoming the fan of countless tv programmes like Burn Notice, The Big Bang Theory etc.

One of my all time favourite books is 'The Fault In Our Stars' and I got to see the film on 12th of June. Since then it has been my favourite film and I wouldn't hesitate to watch it over and over again.

1. Notebook In my experience, taking a notebook to school can be very handy for many different reasons. I usually use my notebook for my own personal doodles during class (making sure the teacher isn't looking and that I'm not learning anything too important) or even sometimes use it for some random notes you might want to take down during a class. In my opinion it can be a great way to pass time especially if one of your teachers decides to put on a boring video or documentary!

2. Secret stash of food I'm not a big fan of sharing food, and there's always those friends that always ask for one crisp and then take ten, so I usually like to keep my food a mystery for the times I feel a little puckish.

3. Pack of cards For the times where the teacher lets you do what you want during class, cards can be a really fun way for you and your friends to pass time quickly while having fun with a variety of different card games to choose from. I highly recommend taking cards to school especially just before holidays as it can create an enjoyable time in class rather than just doing anything and can include many people to play.

4. BOOOOOKKKKKKKSSSS Taking a book to school has proved to be quite smart idea as it can be used as a time pass during school hours, or you could even get away with reading it in class if your teacher allows. Though unfortunately, it's not very good when you reach and interesting part in the book and the teacher tells you to stop reading; especially when reading books like Allegiant or TFIOS (happened to me a lot while reading the Divergent series!)

5. Summer PARTY invitations I did this one year, and it was a big success! I had lots of friends over and set up a wading pool and an ice cream bar with all the fixings! This is where the party tips come in!

* Decorate! Check out some funky videos on YouTube such as Bethany Mota's DIY summer party video or Meredith Foster's Seventeen DIY Your Life video. You can get some ideas from these videos, but you can also come up with your own ideas! Share them with me!

* Makeovers! Doing hair and makeup is always fun at a girl's night summer party. Get together with some close friends and have a blast! Check out eHow's spa party tips to have a great time with the friends.

6. SLEEPING MASK Check this out! This is PERFECT for those times you want to sleep in class! :) Just kidding! But this really is very cool. I originally found this on my friend Cathy's blog. Go follow Cathy and tell her I sent you over!

7. Photos from your summer break This is a great idea if you want to share your fun with your best friends! Plan ahead of time so you can share them all at once!

8. Washi tape This stuff can be your lifesaver! This stuff is cute and affordable, and can be used to decorate pencils and pens, as well as locker mirrors and magnets! Use this tape to decorate your binders and notebooks, your folders and pencil boxes, and much more!
