I bought my letter board from Primark this past spring, on one of those shopping trips where you aren\u2019t really looking for anything in particular but something catches your eye, it’s under $10, so you know you HAVE to get it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest with you, I might have only bought it because it was extremely popular on Pinterest and Instagram, and I wanted to add it to my collection of \u201caesthetically trendy room decor things\u201d that I adorned my living space with. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always loved hanging up inspirational quotes in my room, so this was like another excuse to do that, but I could change the quotes all the time. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until this summer that I realized why a letter board was such a crucial piece that every college student absolutely needs. And, here\u2019s why.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know when your best friend tries to tell you something that can just never get through to your head? Like \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matters what others are doing, it matters what you are doing.\u201d Or, maybe even something simpler, like \u201cYou got this.\u201d Well, a letter board might actually make these quotes stick better, and you might start to believe the motivational quote it tells you. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re spending no less than fifteen minutes tearing out tiny letters to arrange onto a letter board, counting out the rows to make sure it\u2019s centered, and sometimes adding playful touches to make the words slanted or dome shaped, you\u2019re actually in the process of letting these words engrain themselves in your head. <\/span><\/p>\n

Have I convinced you yet? The board I use isn\u2019t being sold at Primark anymore, but here are five options for you if you\u2019re ready to get your own!<\/span><\/p>\n
