Although everyone is different, there are certain things that, most if not all, girls can agree on. Especially as a college student, these 10 items are something that, in my opinion, every girl needs to be successful throughout their college career.

Endless amount of T-Shirts

T-shirts will become your favorite piece of clothing for class. They make your mornings easier and your days a little more comfortable. If you can buy them in all colors, oversized or fitted.

Cosmetic Organizer

The best way to declutter your bathroom or desk is by getting a cosmetic organizer. Not only will you have more room but you'll be able to see everything you have, cutting your getting ready time in half.

Leggings

You can NEVER have too many leggings. Try to get at least one legging per day and pairing them with one of your many colorful t-shirt and you won't even have to spend time thinking about what you'll wear in the morning

Mattress topper

Dorm and student housing beds will never compare to your comfortable bed from home. Nothing is worse than sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress. Mattress toppers will be more comfortable and it'll make you feel a little more at home.

Planner

As the semester goes on, it is very easy to unorganized. To avoid this it is best to buy a planner at the beginning of the semester and write down any important due dates so you won't miss them.

Full-body mirror

Whether you're in college or not, a full length mirror is a necessity in a girl's life, so one can get a full view of their outfit before they leave their home.

Tumbler

Tumblers come in handy for many reasons. Whether you're trying to wake up for the dreadful 8 am class with some iced coffee or you're just trying to stay hydrated throughout the day, you'll get good use out of your tumbler by the end of the semester. Plus it helps the environment.

Face mask

After long a stressful days filled with studying and assignments, all you'll want to do is stay home and relax. Although you can't see how much stress affects your skin, in the long run it'll become more obvious. Using a face mask every now and then can help your skin feel and continue to look fresh and rejuvenated.

Hair straightener or blow dryer

Just like the full-length mirror, a hair straightener and/or blow dryer is something every girl needs regardless if they're in college or not. Regardless if you just want to dry your hair or change your hairstyle these hair styling tools will always come in handy.

 Baseball caps

Last but not least, don't forget your favorite baseball caps. Although we would like to, not every day is a good hair day. So for those mornings that your hair is not cooperating, throw on a baseball cap and you're ready or class.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
