It’s the start of the school year and things are looking different for so many of us. We are going to school virtually or working from home virtually. Many of you may know this already. But I work in Higher Education and our University will be half online and half in person. With my role I will be working from home virtually. As we approach this new school season we are taking on a large amount of new responsibilities and challenges.

Back to school virtually with Vera Bradley

Pre-covid I remember taking online classes and how I needed to focus on making sure my assignments were turned in on time. And how I needed to limit my distractions. But I also remember sitting in my dorm room snuggled up with a great blanket working at my desk to complete those assignments. Now that I work in Higher Education and I am doing it virtually again it’s bringing back all the nostalgic memories.

I will be going back to school in a week. So I have made sure to prepare myself with the necessary items to get me through my day. Like this really fun and cozy Vera Bradley blanket and Vera Bradley laptop holder. What is even neater, is that Vera Bradley has a ton of back to school items. From book bags to lunch coolers you can really find great essential items for your back to school needs.

My laptop case and blanket keep me going throughout my busy days. When I am in a zoom class or meeting and it may be chilly in my house, I just throw the blanket over my lap and join into the calls. And when I am done for the day I pack my laptop away in my laptop case. I also love that my laptop case is so versatile and can carry everything from my planner, phone, pens and pencils. Which makes it easier for me when I need to shift rooms in my home. Whether you are working from home or you are going back to school virtually these essential items can make going back a little bit more colorful and fun.
