10: Phone Charger- Guys, it is 2016, one of the worst things that can happen to us is our phone dying. You can buy a cheap phone charger to keep in your backpack so you always have one on hand at school.
9: Hand sanitizer- This is not a drill, take hand sanitizer everywhere. When cold and flu season comes around and you’re sitting next to Sniffling Sally you’ll thank yourself.
8: Headphones- There is plenty of down time where you wish you could just put some headphones in and get some “quiet” time.
7: Planner- Buy a planner at the beginning of the school year and use it. Write down your test days, what time you work, when you make plans to go to the movies. Trust me, it is much better than trying to keep it all organized in your head.
6: Chapstick- This is not just for the ladies, keeping chapstick in your bag can save you from one of the most annoying things ever: chapped lips in the winter.
5: Umbrella- Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you don’t need an umbrella to walk across campus. We don’t have the biggest campus, but it is big enough to get soaked walking from Ramer to the Library!
4: Sunglasses- Sunglasses have so many purposes. Protecting your eyes from the sun is the biggest one, but don’t forget that you can put them on while you cross campus and people won’t try to make eye contact with you.
3: Reusable water bottle- Y’all need to quit wasting your money buying a bottle of water everyday. You can get a reusable water bottle from Wal-Mart, Target or even the 5 Below store in Hendersonville, you will save money and help the environment!
2: A change bag- I’m not saying that you have to have an old lady change purse with you (but if you do then you rock), but even keeping a plastic bag to put your change in can save your life and stomach on days that you’re broke and need a snack from the grill!
1: Snacks- Do it. Keep a snack in your backpack. Some days are long at school and it gets really hard to focus when your stomach is growling non-stop. A snack can save your stomach and your grades. Really.
