I know every student dreads May, whether it be due to GCSE's, A levels, dissertations or general deadlines. Being out of education for 3 years I'd only witnessed it with my many friends turning into crumbling messes, but come september I will be entering into four years of education. How will I survive? the same way I always do; lets go shopping!

All those notes and exam preps need brightening up, so what would be better than these coloured polkadot pens from Paperchase? Well no exams or deadlines for one

I am so scatter brained that I literally rely on post it notes to survive- much to my Dad's annoyance at finding them all over the house-  buy some mutlicoloured or different shaped ones so those trivial things don't seem so boring

The greatest use of these miracles of modern stationary is undoubtedly Operation Beautiful, a sure fire way to spread the love. I know that you might be riddled with self doubt during this time so leave yourself little notes everywhere- your notes, your mirror everywhere!- and remember you are beautiful, smart girls and you can all do this.

I seem to constantly have a notebook with me, you never know when you'll need to jot something down and during May you'll need a couple. So if you're a floral lover like our Florrie this Cath Kidston set of two would suit you perfectly

Our lovely editor Amy is the worlds best reviser and stresser and in turn planner, and how does she plan her revison? With big pens and paper; but Amy's madness does work it serves as a reminder but not in a bad way- go get the felt tips now!

And finally when it's June.... TREAT YOURSELF
