Back to school season is about to commence and I honestly can't believe it. Though we technically still have another full month of sun left to enjoy before fall flies in, many families are knocking out lengthy school item lists, stocking up on pens and pencils, and waiting for tax free weekend to hit in their state. While I totally can't believe that school buses will be taking over the roads again already, I couldn't miss the opportunity to give parents — and kids — a few new back to school essentials to take note of for the upcoming school year. And yes, I've even got something for the college kids, too!

During the years that I was in school, my favorite time of the year was the start of the school year. There was always something so liberating about showing up on the first day sporting a new back and donning a new outfit that I probably spent a good two weeks ironing, re-ironing, and trying on to ensure that it looked perfect. Although my list of picks aren't clothing inclusive, I'm sure that parents everywhere will find good use of at least one thing on this list.

Now of course, since I was visiting family in Orlando when I thought of this idea, I had to stop by my favorite station — WESH 2 News Orlando — to share these items that are sure to come in handy. If you're interested in watching that full segment, feel free to click here! Otherwise, jump below to see the cool essentials you'll want to start the 2017-2018 school year off with.
