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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
