2. Homework


3. Lack of sleep

4. Exams

5. Teachers

12. That one person... you know who I'm talking about. That one person who thinks they're smarter than everyone and will wait patiently for you to mess up so they can humiliate you.

13. Aaaand the other one. The "Obama? That's the guy from that new Star Wars movie, right?"

School essentials

Required:

1. Pencil case. My pencil case is black and very neutral, but I found a couple of different types here: South Park Pencil Case (I NEED this) or Galaxy pencil case

2.  Pens and pencils: Staedtler Noris HB Pencil Set (Pencils) WHSmith Medium Ballpoint Pens (pens)

3. Computer and a sleeve. I'm guessing you already have a computer - here's mine: MacBook Air. Next, a sleeve. It's necessary, trust me. Ex: Herschel Supply Co. 13 for Mac or AMNIE Laptop Sleeve Case Bag for PC.

4. Backpack: Fjallraven Foldsack No. 1 (this is mine) or Urban Outfitters Herschel Supply co. Retreat Black Backpack. A backpack is something you have to splurge on!! And it also needs to be firm and comfy. You might think a shoulder bag is cuter now but your body will hate you in a month (!) 'cause having to carry a computer and books around all day gets very heavy.

Food/drinks

1. Coffee to go: Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler. Without this I would not survive the day.

2. Water bottle: Retap Glass Bottle E 500ML I didn't find one in particular, but definitely get a reusable one. Some are very cheap and some much more complex and expensive.

3. Lunch Box/Tupperware. I'd just recommend a simple set like this: Lock & Lock Food Storage Set. (You can't bring leftover casserole in a plastic bag)

Life savers:

1. Markers. This is a life-saver, let me just tell you! Panda highlighters (These are so cute!!!)

2. Calendar. I use the calendar on my Mac/iPhone, but if you like having an actual calendar I found this student planner for you: Student Planner and Academic Diary 2015-2016

3. Notebook. I use OneNote or Evernote on my computer, but again - real notebooks can be nice. Here are a few: A5 5 subject multi book or Wild At Heart A5 casebound notebook

4. Whiteboard. This saved my life when I studied for my math exam: Whiteboard

5. Post-its: Sticky memo notes. This is great when taking notes and studying for exams.

Cosmetics:

1. Hand Sanitiser. People are gross. Thank me later: Hand Sanitiser

2. Deodorant: Dove Roll-on Deodorant. It's always good to be safe tbh.

3. Lip Balm. I struggle with very dry lips especially during winter, so I would recommend this Eucerin Dry Skin Intensive Lip Balm

4. Lipstick. A good lipstick can not only change your look for the day but also your confidence. This is my absolute favourite lipstick: Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture

5. Concealer. I've talked about this before, but I always bring my beloved concealer with me: Urban Decay Naked Skin







Now let's go get some school supplies!
