I've been back at college for about two weeks now. I have quickly come to realize that this year is different than others and there are a few items that I had no idea I would need.

Blue Light Glasses

Now that all of my classes are fully online, I pretty much never leave my room. I look at my computer screen and do assignments and reading for several hours of the day. Blue Light glasses may help me in the fight against eye damage. If I haven't permanently damaged them already...

Slippers

This year I am living in a sorority house. Since it is more of a home with my closest friends than a nasty, community-style dorm I am faced with the challenge of deciding what footwear I need in the house. I have decided that slippers would've been beneficial for me this year. I don't like walking around barefoot or in socks, but shoes are too much work to put on every time I need to come out of my room. If you want to send me slippers... I'm a size 8.5.

Wall Repair Putty

Me and my roommate have probably put more holes in our wall in just this week than I did my whole freshman year. If we don't get some wall repair putty soon, we might as well say goodbye to our security deposit.

Vitamins

This is self explanatory. I want to be more healthy, and protected against COVID.

Once I get all these things, I think I'll be ready to take on Sophomore year!
