10 Back To School Supplies That Are Actually Necessary

Omg well, would you look at that? The summer has came to the end and you all know what that means: school. We all get a school supply list whether being a kindergartener to a senior in college.

However, this is the part where you pay attention. This list below will provide you with the most necessary material that you would need unlike the school supply list your teacher gives you.

1. Charger

Trust me, no one will lend you their charger. I promise you. Bring your charger everywhere with your name of course because you do not want to lose it.

2. Pencil Or Pen

This is probably one of the most basic essentials on this list. And you might think you have plenty of pens and pencils. NOPE… By the fourth week of school you will be one of those annoying people who ask for pencils and pens everyday and I know you do not want to be THAT person, do you?

3. Binder

All your teachers will tell you to get a bunch of binders for each of your classes. They also tell you to only use this binder for this specific subject only. But in reality, you won't. Not even close. You will most likely use one binder for all your classes to limit the amount of crapload you have in your backpack. Also, you will probably lose everything in your binder and never find things on time.

4. Backpack

If you don't have a backpack, that's sad. :(

5. Sweatpants

This pants need to be more of the "I dragged myself out of bed for this" sweatpants. I am pretty sure they are available at Walmart and target for like $8.

6. Gym Membership

It's not like you're really going to use it , but having that little card on your keychain is pretty cool because everyone thinks that you work out.

7. Headphones

Just because there is no better way to ignore the people you dislike than to wear headphones.

8. Spotify Or Apple Music Subscription


No one wants to hear the ads on Spotify or Pandora. This isn't 2009 anymore. If you can really find a way to use spotify premium for free then you can listen to Drake whenever you're in your feelings.

9. Notebook

Mostly like you all have a laptop, so you will probably won't ever use your notebook. But hey, you can always use this notebook just so that you feel productive.

10. Laptop

Make sure you get those stickers that are super basic so you don't feel left out. Reminder, bring your laptop to class so that you can pretend you are taking notes during lecture!

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
