How absolutely boring can school get? The generic textbooks and boring paper can become just a tiny bit soul sucking. Especially when you are cursed with the school that monitors what you wear (aka a uniform - even the notion is sometimes unbearable) you have to start to work "outside the law" to bring a bit of you and color back into the building. So here are four ways to do it...

1: Invest in a snazzy computer case.
Seems as if technology is taking over sometimes (phew!) and just because carrying a laptop in a school bag is uncomfortable doesn’t mean it has to be ugly. Get a clear one and have your friends to graffiti it, or buy a snazzy one that makes you smile.

2: Make your own staple.
What fun is it when everyone looks the same? And how infuriating. You are not the same as the girl picking her nose next to you. The trick is to find the loophole in your system and sneak a bit of you in there. Do so with extra large earrings, a colorful cami, mismatched socks, or even just brightly colored nails. Make it your staple -- in a crowded room some one should point you out by going “oh and the girl with the huge hoops is...”

Hint: Small make-up pouches can double as pencil cases. Tres cute?
3: Grab a chic pencil case.
After entering high school, along with the bobby pin fairy, you seem to immediately introduced to the pencil stealing one. Contain and protect all of yours in a chic case and practice the art of grabbing something from within without stabbing yourself.
4: Buy your own homework diary.
Schools often times hand out their own homework diaries and planners but really, they always seem to have the most unattractive covers. Take initiative and scout your local book store for a new one and transfer all the school info and dates into it.
