Essentials You Need for College Classes
Hi friends school is starting back up again so here’s some essentials you will most definitely need!
1. iPad/ notebooks- An iPad is not a must, but more specifically something to take notes on. I take notes on my iPad but before I had and iPad I just used notebooks
2. A laptop- one way or another you are going to need a laptop in college/ university. It does not have to be a MacBook. All you need is something to be able to turn in/ do your assignments online
3. A planner- You need to stay organized. College is known for its ups and downs. One week you have no homework, the next a ton of assignments, homework’s and exams will be due. This helps to stay on too of your game.
4. Gel pens/ pencils- You don’t have to get specifically gel pens. Get any type of pens you would like to get. You gonna need to write in the planner somehow. The pencils you will mainly use on exams, trust me.
5. Erasers- Exams can be stressful and when you’re in a rush to write down answers you may notice you have made a couple mistakes along the way. Erasers always come in handy. I don’t like to depend too much on the erasers in the end of the pencil because they run out so fast. Having a separate eraser helps you make sure that you never run into that problem.
6. Highlighters - these are useful for strategic planing and color coding. I like to use these in my planner to color code classes and highlight paper given on class when I am trying to emphasize specific information
7. A book/novel- This is completely optional but really helpful when you just need a break from school and want to give ur mind a break besides scrolling on your phone. Pick up anything you would like to read it can be educational or it can just be for leisure. Anything besides scrolling to stimulate ur brain.
Hope this was helpful let me know if there any other starter packs you would like me to do.

Starting college can be daunting, but having the right supplies can make all the difference. Besides the essentials mentioned like notepads and laptops, consider investing in digital tools such as note-taking apps or cloud storage. This enables easy access to your notes and assignments anywhere. Moreover, think about getting quality headphones for studying or distractions-free environments. Good organizational tools are vital; color-coding materials and assignments not only saves time but enhances productivity. Networking is also crucial during college years; connect with peers through group chats or online forums. This can be helpful when studying for exams or working on group projects. Remember, while books are an optional item, they provide great entertainment and can serve as an excellent way to detach from screens and wind down after studies. Engage with different genres to expand your horizons and enhance cognitive skills. As you prepare for this new chapter, don't forget the importance of self-care. Items like a cozy blanket for late-night study sessions can also contribute to your well-being. Explore creative markers for organizing notes, as a visually appealing setup can significantly motivate you to study. Being prepared will lead to a successful college experience!
