11 Things College Seniors Will Be Happy To NEVER Have To Buy Again — Thank God
Emmie Pombo

As a graduating college senior, I can confidently say that I am ready to move on to the next chapter in my life - whatever that looks like. I will miss college friends and experiences, but I won't miss these 11 school-related items that took a hit on my bank account.

1. Textbooks

Not having to pay over $200/semester just for textbooks we probably won't even use really puts finances in perspective.

2. Rubbermaid Containers

@rubbermaid

You may still have these around your living space, but at least you don't have to cram all of your belongings in tubs under your dorm bed.

3. Cheap utensils

@meredithphoto

Gone are the days of disposable forks.

5. Thumb And Sticky Tack

The most stressful part of decorating a dorm room was finding things that both wouldn't wreck the walls and would keep things up.

5. Heavy duty backpacks

@thekawaiishoppu

The first semester, style wins over practicality. However, every semester after that proves that usefulness is the best way to go. Now you don't have to worry about purchasing an overpriced (but needed) backpack.

6. Bed Risers

@dandalydesign

Now you have the freedom to purchase any bed you want with whatever hight bed frame you choose.

7. Shower Caddies

@uni_shoponline

The freedom of having the space to spread your things out in the shower in unmatched.

8. Insane Amounts Of Stationary And Miscellaneous Supplies

@law.study.habits

No need for six binders and 12 highlighters anymore.

9. Shower Shoes

@lalotactical_mt

Feel free to finally go barefoot in the comfort of your own shower.

10. Rolling Storage Units

@harperandharlowph

Gone are the days where you store all your mugs and K-cups in a rolling metal bin.

11. Mini Fan

@rou_0107

You no longer have to live for that few seconds of cool air while working on homework.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
