We know there’s plenty of summertime left, but it’s never too early to start your back-to-school shopping. There’s a long list of things you need to get done before the first day of class, and it can be easy to get overwhelmed. But there’s no need to worry because we’ve got your back. With Spencer’s back-to-school guide, we’ll give you the hookup on all the freshest gear and provide some great tips to help you kick off the school year the right way.
Starting Your Checklist
Making a back-to-school checklist is perfect for staying organized and ensuring you have everything you need to be your best self this semester. Here are a few examples of some must-have items that will help lead to your success this school year:
- Some new back-to-school outfits (Because you gotta make a good first impression).
- Order your books ($200? For a mandatory textbook???).
- Something, ANYTHING to write with (Believe us; you don’t want to be THAT guy).
- Some quick food, like ramen or easy mac (Perfect for 3 pm or 3 am).
- A backpack (Those $200 textbooks can get pretty heavy).
- A lunch box (Because lunch is the only thing that gets us through the day).
- Get some supplies (Highlighters, notebooks, binders, sticky notes, you know the drill).
- Lighting and room décor (Trust us, it will help with the homesickness).
- Get an extra mattress pad (Those dorm room bunks are not your friend, so you’ll thank us for this one).
- Get yourself a calendar (Keeping track of those important dates will never be easier).
Now that we’ve covered that, here are some things to remember when shopping for your essentials!

Whether you’re a music connoisseur or a horror movie master, our collection of tees has something for everyone to enjoy. From hilarious statement tees to the hottest pop culture picks, you really can’t beat these threads.
New Bag Swag

Carry all your back-to-school essentials in something from our incredible collection. From cute and compact mini backpacks to classic, built-up, and rucksack styles, these picks are equally fashionable and convenient.

We’ve got all the coolest ways to light up and decorate your humble abode with style. Set the mood and add some chill vibes to any room with our home décor picks!
Fix Your Sleep Schedule
Those long nights out may have really messed up your sleep schedule this summer, so it’s best to get it back in check before school starts to avoid falling asleep during a lecture. We suggest getting your sleep schedule back on track a few days before the first day to get your body used to waking up early. Bundle up with a fleece blanket from our collection, and you’ll have no problems getting nice and cozy before bed.
Getting back into the swing of school can take some adjustment, so we hope our list helps make it much easier. When looking for the best back-to-school gear, there’s no better place than Spencer’s.
