5 Things You Should Always Bring To Class
Scott Webb

I started school again for the first time today, and here are my top five things I am so glad I brought with me!

Every day isn't perfect, but I always have these five essential items with me for class, at all times.


1. Drinks

Although I had to stop to pick it up, I am thankful I had it. Some classes last almost three hours and no one wants to be dying of thirst in the middle of class or if you have a presentation! Always bring something with you, that is honestly the best thing you can do!

2. Chargers

I brought both my phone and laptop charger. Obviously, most people never leave without their laptop charger, but it is still something I added here because at one point in my school career I thought my laptop could last all day with no charger. I was very wrong. It died halfway through my second class. I may have left it on before leaving my first class. I also brought my phone charger and add that on here cause you never know when you may need it. Sometimes things happen and you may need to call a friend for some help! Always keep electronics nice and charged!

3. Extra paper

Now I always carry a notebook with me, but I have experienced spilling water or soda on my one notebook and was left without any note paper for the day! Always bring extra notebooks or lined paper with you just in case of a water emergency! Note - Still never forget to bring water, even if accidents happen.

4. An extra pencil and pencil sharpener.

Now I was (still am!) a SpongeBob fan. If that show taught me anything, one of the most important things always brought a spare pencil and pencil sharpener. Things happen, pencils break or you lose them (hopefully not into the sea) and extras are always good. A Pencil sharpener is important due to pencils breaking. This happens to me often, I have what you would call a lead hand when it comes to writing. Do not be like that artist in SpongeBob and not have extras! You will have a breakdown just like him if you do not.

5. Headphones

I always, always, ALWAYS, bring my headphones. For the most important reason, I can walk to class without strangers trying to talk to me and distract me. Or to do school work in quiet. Anyways, these are important and helpful. I almost didn't bring them due to the fact that I didn't think I would need them, turns out I did. I used them to listen to a tutorial video during my first class.


Hope my little list helps!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
