Back To School Essentials

The most dreaded time of the year is here..back to school time. I am a Sophomore in college so I guess you could say I'm a pro at starting back to school. Here are some things I definitely recommend for school:


1. The most important, a backpack! My favorite backpacks are from North Face because they are compact, but hold a TON of stuff and everything still feels lightweight. It's also comfortable on your shoulders and back. It also has a little compartment to keep your laptop or tablet in.

2. An agenda. It doesn't have to be a brand name agenda. You just need something to keep yourself organized and it may also help keep your life a little less stressful! My personal favorite are these Kate Spade  agenda's (P.S. they are better quality than Lilly ones!)

3. Laptops/Tablets. Well this only applies to those that are allowed to bring them to school.  I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a laptop during class.  They come in handy when taking notes, doing research, or doing a little online shopping when you have free time!

4. Deodorant. This may sound silly but it is a serious necessity! I have learned the hard way being in college that this is a MUST!! Walking all over campus leaves you sweaty and nasty and no one wants to sit next to the hottie in class with stink on them!

5. An umbrella. I've definitely learned the hard way with this as well. Having to walk to class in the pouring rain is absolutely miserable, so keep a small umbrella in the side pocket of your backpack, or check the weather before you leave!

6. Snacks and a water bottle. Sitting in class with a grumbling tummy is a tad embarrassing and probably my worst nightmare. I like to keep a Clif Bar in my backpack. They are a healthier choice than vending machine snacks and taste amazing! You can find them at just about any supermarket. My favorite is definitely the Coconut Chocolate Chip, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! A water bottle is great too to subside your hunger and keep you hydrated. I personally like the Camelbak water bottles because the handle makes it easy to carry around and they also come in the cutest colors!

7. Cash or a credit card. You never know what may come up when you will need money at school or after school activities.

8. A happy personality! Cheesy I know, but seriously. It will cheer some one up to smile or say hey to them when walking to class! It will make your day a little better and it is a nice gesture. You never know how much a small thing may make a huge difference if some ones life.

Now go out and smile at a stranger and have a positive attitude on starting back! If you can't think of a positive thing just think you are one year closer to being done with school!
