10 Back To School Supplies That Are Actually Necessary

Omg well, would you look at that? The summer has came to the end and you all know what that means: school. We all get a school supply list whether being a kindergartener to a senior in college.

However, this is the part where you pay attention. This list below will provide you with the most necessary material that you would need unlike the school supply list your teacher gives you.

1. Charger

Trust me, no one will lend you their charger. I promise you. Bring your charger everywhere with your name of course because you do not want to lose it.

2. Pencil Or Pen

This is probably one of the most basic essentials on this list. And you might think you have plenty of pens and pencils. NOPE… By the fourth week of school you will be one of those annoying people who ask for pencils and pens everyday and I know you do not want to be THAT person, do you?

3. Binder

All your teachers will tell you to get a bunch of binders for each of your classes. They also tell you to only use this binder for this specific subject only. But in reality, you won't. Not even close. You will most likely use one binder for all your classes to limit the amount of crapload you have in your backpack. Also, you will probably lose everything in your binder and never find things on time.

4. Backpack

If you don't have a backpack, that's sad. :(

5. Sweatpants

This pants need to be more of the "I dragged myself out of bed for this" sweatpants. I am pretty sure they are available at Walmart and target for like $8.

6. Gym Membership

It's not like you're really going to use it , but having that little card on your keychain is pretty cool because everyone thinks that you work out.

7. Headphones

Just because there is no better way to ignore the people you dislike than to wear headphones.

8. Spotify Or Apple Music Subscription


No one wants to hear the ads on Spotify or Pandora. This isn't 2009 anymore. If you can really find a way to use spotify premium for free then you can listen to Drake whenever you're in your feelings.

9. Notebook

Mostly like you all have a laptop, so you will probably won't ever use your notebook. But hey, you can always use this notebook just so that you feel productive.

10. Laptop

Make sure you get those stickers that are super basic so you don't feel left out. Reminder, bring your laptop to class so that you can pretend you are taking notes during lecture!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
