Obviously, I couldn't get through college without the support of my family, friends, and awesome roommates, but on this four-year-long journey, there were many unsung heroes that need to be given the recognition that they truly deserve. Of course, transportation, laptops, WiFi access, meal plans, textbooks and agendas all contributed heavily to academics, these are the items just below those that helped out equally as much. While these items aren't technically all essential and some are just well... a tad bit dramatic... they for sure helped me.

There are many things that I can think of, but here are my top 50 items that I don't know what I would have done without.
