11 Essential Items Every Girl Is Keeping In Her Bookbag This Fall

In This Article:

A few of the things I like to keep on me at all times, just in case.

1. Airpods

To jam to the latest hits and block out the freshman on campus.

2. Snacks

From bars to carrots to nuts, you're going to need it all to help you focus and pull through your busy day!

3. A water bottle

Keep your hydro flask handy this semester and stay hydrated- after all, the more you drink, the more you have to pee, and the less you have to interact with your classmates.

4. Highlighters

Both Anastasia and Sharpies are acceptable.

5. A book or magazine

You're going to want something to read that isn't your German textbook when you're waiting for your next class, so pick up the latest copy of People or the latest Brene Brown book ASAP!

6. Chargers

For your laptop, your phone, and every other rechargeable device you carry

7. Tampons 

And other necessary period products. If you're irregular or your period gets triggered by stress like me, you're going to want to keep your products near you at all costs.

8. Extra makeup

For fixing your face when you realize how hard your semester is going to b.

9. A shooter of vodka (or twelve)

For when that lecture gets a little too rough.

10. Ibuprofen

For when that vodka shooter hits your old a$$ a little too hard.

11. A planner

To keep up with your exams and nights out.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
