This is a list of curated pieces that you should definitely bring with you to university:

1. Jeans

In at least two different colored washes.

2. Casual Trousers

Somewhat loose. Somewhat with a stretchy waistband. The key is cute plus comfort.

3. Graphic or Band Tees

4. Comfortable Shoes

Sneakers. Combat boots. The occasional sandal.

5. All of The Sweats

You’re gonna need hoodies, crew necks, sweatpants, leggings, etc.

6. Business Casual Outfits

1-3 business casual outfits for the occasional presentation or networking event.

7. Oversized Jacket

Oversized jean or leather jacket. All this depends on is which member of one direction you’re trying to look like.

So, here are some tips to help you organize your college closet:

• No, you don’t need all that jewellery.
• Same goes for shoes
• Undergarment comfort matters tremendously
• You will be sitting in each class for at least 1.5 hours. Remember that next time you want to wear skinny jeans and/or crop tops

Try to remember that you’re going away to university and it’s not a fashion show. I personally try to aim between a cozy and chic sense of style, but midterms always get the best of me and I end up living in leggings and sneakers.

Here is my perfect, yet unofficial, college survival kit:

1. A Planner

Purchasing a planner will be the best decision you will make. It isn’t realistic to expect yourself to stay on top of all your work and other life responsibilities without an organized way to remember everything. Buy a weekly or daily planner, and most importantly, USE IT. Every day. 

2. A Laptop

This is an expensive, yet absolutely necessary purchase. Professors post their lectures on the school’s portal and you’ll often have in-class participation activities online. It’s also extremely convenient to have your notes in one place.

3. A Good Backpack

You will be carrying your laptop everywhere. You will be carrying books everywhere. And your back will feel a pain it has never felt before if you don’t invest in a good backpack. Trust me when I tell you that the cute purse you planned to swing over your shoulder will become your worst enemy.

4. A Sticky-Note Pack

You’ll be paying exorbitant prices for your textbook, so read them and use sticky-notes to keep important pages. If you’re planning on selling your books next semester, don’t highlight them but definitely highlight your notes. It makes all the difference when studying.

5. A Water Bottle

You’re human. You need water. If you’re a student, that also means you’ll need caffeine. Don’t waste money by continuously purchasing wasteful products.

6. Good Headphones

Don’t let the conversation happening next to you at the library distract you from your work. Just get some noise-cancelling headphones.

7. A Yoga Mat

This doesn’t necessarily have to be for yoga. As a student, you’ll be sitting for long periods throughout the day, carrying heavy books, and leaning over your desk to write or stare at your laptop. This will take a toll on your body – take a few minutes to stretch and meditate in the morning or evening. As a result, having a successful academic career will be much easier when you’re also taking care of your mental and physical health.

Conclusion

So, here it is: my perfect back-to-college essentials guide. These simple, yet absolutely essential items will be your best friends come midterms. Enjoy your time and study hard!
