Hey everyone!
If you’ve been a long time reader (or have read my Instagram bio!), I’m currently in school. It’s my third year of college, but I’m nowhere near graduating yet. I think it’s important for me to take my time since I know that if I try to speed up my schooling, I’ll end up crashing from fatigue and stress. That’s one reason why I organize my backpack in a way that I have everything I need while still having my bag feel light enough to carry.
pencil pouch // Unlike my youngest brother who tends to keep his writing utensils in his pockets, I like to have all my pencils in a place where I won’t get poked. I recommend pens for college students since it’s easier to cross things out than eraser them during a lecture.
laptop & charger // If you spend a large amount of time at your school campus, you’re going to end a laptop and it’s charger. You can get ahead and research topics during your free time while you’re out so you can lessen the workload at home.
usb mouse & batteries // I don’t like using the mouse pad sometimes, so I always keep my usb mouse hooked up with my laptop. I keep some batteries in my room and in my bag for my mouse.
loose leaf & graphing paper // Depending on your classes, either regular college ruled or graphing paper is the best for taking notes. For math classes, I tend to use graphing paper since it makes it easier to make graphs and pictures. Other classes I use college ruled paper that I can organize and either retype onto my laptop or into a notebook.
calculator // The type of calculator you might need for college depends on the classes you need to take for your major. I use a regular calculator instead of a graphing calculator since I don’t need to take higher math classes.
emergency bag // I keep a small bag filled with band aids and other first aid supplies for those times I trip on the side walks. Having a bag for emergencies is always a good idea.
reusable water bottle // I have a bad habit of not drinking enough water. It’s important to make sure you’re hydrated especially if you’re out for a long time. It’ll also save you from having to buy water from the cafeteria.
snacks // I opt for fruits or nuts like bananas or walnuts, but snacks are especially important if you skip breakfast or don’t have a lot of time to eat between classes.
extension cord // My school campus only has a few outlets and the best ones are almost always taken. Having an extension cord to have more outlets is important for charging your laptop and phone.
