Your glove compartment might as well be just like your bag. It's going to have all the same essentials you carry around every day. Now instead of digging through your bag, you'll dig through your glove compartment instead. Here are 10 necessities to store in your glove compartment for every situation:

1. Registration

In the event you get pulled over on your long or short drive, this is the first thing along with your license the cop is going to ask for.

2. Certificate of insurance

I honestly don't know when you'd need this, possibly when you get pulled over along with your license and registration. But my parents always make sure its up to date in my car.

3. Baby wipes

Working in a daycare, you quickly learn that baby wipes are a multi-purpose tool. They're perfect for anything from sticky messes on the seats to the windows.

4. Hand sanitizer

Especially going in and out of stores all year long, the hand sanitizer will come in handy.

5. Hand cream

Hand sanitizer can dry out your hands along with the cold weather, hand cream helps.

6. Chapstick

I mean, there's a chapstick in every other corner of your life, so why not throw one in your car too?

7. Pens and pencils

You never know when you'll have to write something down while on a phone call, hopefully parked, or your passenger may need one.

8. Energy bar

For those random moments of hunger that come out of no where, especially on a long drive, a small snack is necessary.

9. Gum/mints

Another "chapstick scenario." Why not have gum in your car when you've got it everywhere else anyway?

10. E-Z Pass

This is perfect for those cross state and long drives. Who wants to wait on the cash line at the toll booth anyway? I know I don't.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
