Five Backpack Must-Haves
It’s a new semester and we all know that means we’re about to get busy. How do you keep from getting too overwhelmed? Make sure to have these five essentials in your backpack at all times!
Colorful pens
It’s never fun to take notes, but having a page full of color makes it a lot more interesting! Stick to your favorite color or mix it up every other line! Or maybe you even want to color coordinate your notes. No matter what, these pens make life a lot brighter.
Lip gloss/chapstick
Always a must-have during the day. Dry lips are never fun and the best way to prevent them is by regularly applying chapstick. You don’t want to have to walk around campus all day with your lips burning.
Agenda
Even the best of us need a helping hand to keep up with our busy schedules and an agenda is a great tool to use. Sit down at the beginning of the year and write down all your assignment due dates and make sure to check it everyday! Trust me, your brain will thank you for it later.
Headphones
Walking on campus can be great. You get to see people you know, learn about organizations that are tabling, listen to people yelling at you about their beliefs and much more. But some days, it’s a lot nicer to just drown out all that sound with a great pair of headphones and your favorite jam.
Snack
Picture this scenario: You had a really long night and forgot to check your agenda after your on-campus meeting. It’s eleven o’clock the next day and you’ve realized you forgot to to do your assignment for your twelve o’clock class. Now you’re skipping the Underground for a computer at Anschutz. Sound familiar? This is just one great reason to bring a small snack to class every day. Grab some crackers, a granola bar, an apple, anything that will keep your you from starving until dinner!
These are just some basics that we like to have! Whats your go-to item in your backpack? Let us know and comment below!
