5 Essential School Supplies Every College Student Needs This Semester

It's back to school time and you want to make sure you are prepared. In college, they don't give you a supply list, so I composed a small list of essential items every college student need.

A laptop is something every college student needs and that's because it's versatile and portable. You can take notes, do homework, or even take a test on this one device. Although they can be quite expensive, I would advise every student to make the investment.

A planner

A planner is essential for back-to-school and that's because it will help you stay organized. Between work, class, and extracurricular activities, you're going to need help juggling everything.

New clothes

You want to start the semester off feeling confident and cool. New clothes are always a plus because you get to feel good about yourself, as well as showing off your creative style. College is the perfect time to find your sense of style.

Backpack

Walking around campus is not the easiest thing to do while carrying all of your supplies. That's why you need a backpack, to make sure all of your stuff is in one place, as you commute around campus.

Pens and pencils

Writing utensils are very important because you never know when you're going to need them. Whether it's a pop quiz or attendance sign-in sheet, you are going to need something to write with. Make sure you buy a lot because they go very quickly.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
