Back to School Week: Essential Supplies


What do you need to make a successful school year? Here's my list for school supplies:

  • bag/backpack/messenger bag: Take in account your budget, your needs, and your style.
  • Binders or notebooks (some professors have specific requirements)
  • Planner
  • Lots and lots of paper. And more.
  • Pens (some people love pencils tho!)
  • Computer
  • Printer (lucky you!) or be prepared to visit the computer center
  • Highlighters (I never liked these and only used them for doodling.) 
  • Hand sanitizer
  • College ID
  • Post-its
  • Umbrella: I like the auto open and shut ones. (Fact: mine was stolen the first day of class! And my new hairdryer caught fire. Ha.)
  • Tissues: some rooms can be soo cold!
  • Layer your clothing: too cold or too hot classrooms
  • Water, coffee, and/or snack (if permitted)
  • Calendar to keep track of assignments
  • Folders
  • Memory stick
  • Instant cleaning stick (like Tide to Go) for those messy food accidents on clothing
  • Stapler
  • Calculator
  • MP3 player
  • IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL!
Other than what's listed above, what can you think of other essential school supplies?
