7 Essentials For Your Online Classes This Fall

Although school is looking a little bit different these days, we can still make the most out of it by preparing with some of these essential items by our side throughout the semester.

1. A Planner

You may not think you are as busy this fall, but whether you are busy or not a planner is always a must-have in terms of organization.

2. Cozy Blankets

My apartment always gets so cold so for me, I always have a blanket by my side. Also, blankets make sitting on your computer for long hours a day much comfier.

3. Snacks

If you have to listen to a long lecture, might as well sit back and grab a some a few to go with it.

4. Laptop charger

Zoom will drain your battery quite fast so, you will want to have a charger by your side just in case.

5. Coffee... lots of coffee

Even if you do not have to get up super early for class, sitting and staring at the computer for a couple hours will make you tired rather quickly.

6. AirPods/Headphones

If you are in a place with other people or roommates, it may be important to have these by your side as you tune into your class.

7. Lots of comfy clothes

Since there's not a whole lot of need to dress to impress, you might as well stock up on leggings or other comfort clothes of choice.

Although this list may not be too long, these are some items that I have found to be the most useful to me throughout the past two weeks of surviving online school and may be for you too!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
