School is just around the corner. For some of you, that means waking up at 6:30 in the morning to sit through High School all day (sorry 'bout it!), starting college and not remembering being this big of a nervous wreck, or continuing your studies (cue: all of us at the pool while our books slowly collect dust). However, for the college kids revving up to go back to class, knowing all of the campus do's and don'ts are ingrained, from not using the dreaded rolley backpack to bringing a water bottle on hot days. Regardless of where you are in your collegiate career, the supplies you deem necessary for class are telling everyone else what kind of student you really are. And for the freshmen out there, read and learn. Let's just hope you left your Lisa Frank folders at home.

MacBook

You’re perfectly basic. If you’re a girl, you probably go to campus yoga and wear Comfort Colors like a boss, and you definitely indulge in a PSL when the season starts. If you’re a guy, we’ll be seeing you in your Patagonia vests & baseball caps. You probably talk a lot about your organization’s summits or how you decided to have a Lake Weekend with the guys. But hey, we all know you’re the ones to be. You get everything done by multitasking. You guys barely have to break a sweat taking Biology notes and texting the group about plans for Thursday night.

Backpack with Buttons and/or Cool Design

We get it, kids. You’re *chill*. But really, you guys literally wear your experiences. Went to Coachella? Ate at some dive diner in Illinois while driving to see your Aunt? There’s def a button for it on your Herschel backpack. You like college because it’s an experience in itself. Maybe you’re not the best student in the world. You’re probably a little disorganized, TBH. But, you’re always seeing something new or hearing something you’ve never known to exist. You just like to show others how much is out there. Your backpack has thus become a billboard for life. And you’re interested in showing everyone how freaking awesome it is.

Agenda

You’re a bit of a neurotic freak. Like, you literally have time slots for everything from class, to extracurricular obligations, to when you should shower. You like to have fun, but you also are trying to do something with your life. There is no way in hell you’re going to be 27 and still eating Spaghetti O’s. You have plans for yourself. The best part about you is that you’re still able to get down. We all see you at the bars on Saturday. But come Monday morning, you’re dressed to the nines and ready to color code your notes before your Student Government meeting. You guys are not the type of people to lose your minds in college, and that’s awesome. Keep staying focused, my friends. Also, please hire me when you’re a CEO.

Something Greek Everyday

You love your Greek organization and EVERYONE must know it. As a collective group of students, we’re not sure if we’ve seen you in anything but your letters unless it’s against standards. You have a Woolly, a Tervis, a bangle of your sorority and you probably are a fraternity’s sweetheart if you’re a girl. If you’re a guy, you probably have a tattoo of your letters somewhere and you live for the Homecoming tailgate. However, the best thing about being a devoted Greek is the fact that you most likely have a huge say in what happens on campus. As the major player in campus organizations, you have the ability to change your school for the better. And on top of that, we statistically know you all are going to be killing it in the real world. So, keep doin’ you. Wear your letters & get your bonus points, overachievers.

Water Bottle with Stickers

You’re kind of like the backpack students, but not nearly as chill about it. Your stickers scream “LOOK AT ME PLEASE.” You like to show your experiences, if you mean going to Southern Proper’s website and ordering stickers off of it. Usually you coat your bottle in VV whales or the initials of some beach town you went to for vacation. It’s a continuation of stickers that usually amasses to about five layers. TBH, I feel visually assaulted when I see your Nalgene bottle covered in Patagonia mountains or LA Dodgers stickers. At least you’re hydrated, unlike me, who will be thirsty and lame. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
