As college students, we spend a lot of time outside of our house/dorms. This means that it is very important to bring what you’ll need for the day with you. It can be hard to decide what you should bring, and in the beginning, you may find yourself often forgetting things. To help you out, I’ve made a quick list of 10 essentials you’ll want to include.
- Menstrual products: nothing sucks more than starting your period and realizing that you’re empty handed. I recommend always keeping a few pads/tampons (or whatever else you prefer) in your bag.
- Umbrella
- Headphones/earbuds: I keep both a wired and wireless pair just in case.
- Phone + laptop charger
- Reusable water bottle
- Mini first aid kit
- Sanitizing wipes
- SNACKS!! (Trust me, they’re a necessity.)
- Hand sanitizer
- Face mask
