Here are the top 10 items that every collegiate gal just *can’t* live without:
- Their Phone
-
This might be obvious in the age of technology, but for good reason. These things hold our entire lives! Who needs a calendar or a clock or a messenger pigeon if you have a phone!
- SHOES
-
We’re not exactly sure how you could leave the house without them, but we definitely agree. The right pair of shoes can make or break your time on campus.
- Headphones
-
Listen, some of us are Beats users, others can’t even hear if they don’t have their Airpods in. Doesn’t matter what side you’re on, just don’t forget to pack them!
- Campus ID
-
Whether you’re just not into getting patted down by security, or you just love feeling like a VIP, it’s important to keep your student ID with you at all times.
- Sunglasses/ a Jacket
-
According to the queens of college, a look can change with a simple switch in weather. When asked, almost every student said she would bring a jacket with her in winter, and a snazzy pair of shades during the summer. Who would’ve figured?
- A Pen/Pencil
-
Listen, we are educated and opinionated. Can’t let those precious thoughts slip away, now can we? You need something to write with if you’re going to nail this whole college thing.
- A Notebook/Planner
-
What would be the use of our stylish fountain pens if we didn’t have something to write on. And writing on your hand? Horrible for the skin.
- A Hair Tie
-
Whether your an elastic empress, a scrunchie sister, or a bow babe — the point is you have to keep that mane maintained. (No pun intended.)
- Lip Gloss/Chapstick
-
Ladies . . . and I’ll say it loud for all the girls in the back… KEEP YOUR LIPS HYDRATED. That is all.
- Gum
-
Not the most popular, but we all know that chewing gum during a test helps you focus. (Right?) Anyways, don’t forget to slip a piece of Hubba Bubba in your back pocket for finals.
Honorable Mentions: your backpack, keys, water bottle (stay hydrated!), your friends, and a positive attitude
