As a young girl, my mother would always tell me, “It is better to have something and not need it, then to need something and not have it.” With that said, here is a compilation of 5 things that are best not to be without in your college backpack!
#1: Headphones

Now of course, AirPods are not essential, but something you can plug into is a must. Whether you’re walking to class, heading to the library, or on a break and just want to catch up on the latest vlog from your favorite youtuber, headphones are a top priority!
#2: The Emergency Kit

As a college student, it can be hard to determine when complications might arise. That is why it is so important to create a custom emergency kit that will help with those unexpected events that college throws your way. Depending on the type of girl you are, your emergency kit can consist of anything from a hair tie to a full highlighter kit.
#3: Technical Devices

Due to the fact that college is no longer mostly paper, it is important to have your phone, tablet, or some type of laptop. Not only can you use these things for notes, but also to keep track of dates and assignments. These types of devices will allow you to be able to complete assignments, research, and stay connected. Having some type of device is a must for any college students backpack.
#4: Chargers

Having a laptop, tablet, or phone is of no use if they are dead! So, having chargers on hand is important! Better yet, having a portable charger is even better, then there is no need to worry about having to find or sit near a power outlet. Personally, I have my chargers for my devices both in my room and in my backpack, so I don’t have to always transfer the chargers back and forth!
#5: Fuel for the Body

Your body needs energy in order for it to be able to perform at its best. Although a snack and water bottle may be the last thing on the list, it does not undermine their importance. As busy college students, it is essential to stay hydrated and to make sure that if we become hungry that we have a healthy snack on hand. However, chips can sometimes be more satisfying than an apple.
