I don’t want to pop your vacation bliss bubble but September is fast approaching and with September comes back to school shopping. Here is my must- have back to school list.
- Calculator: Whether it’s for your math courses or your business courses, it’s always good to have it handy and they can be quite useful.
Casio FX-300MS Plus Scientific Calculator / Casio FX-9750GII Graphing Calculator / Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS Scientific Calculator, Pink / Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS Scientific Calculator, Orange / Texas Instruments TI-SEC84+ Color Screen Graphing Calculator Pink / Decorative Wooden Letters & Numbers Brown V One Size / End of line Serafini numbers & letters, $30
- Backpack: We need something to hold all of our books and homework. There are a variety of bags you can use, such as backpacks, totes, hobos, etc.
Zipper bag / New Look zipper tote, $31 / New Look shopping handbag, $25 / FOREVER 21 Classic Striped Backpack
- Planner: Many say they don’t need a planner but I wholeheartedly recommend it. It really helps you plan ahead and stay ahead.
- Writing Utensils: Of course. You need the quintessential pen or pencil, but if you are in college, why not go a bit more refined? I love having some great pens or pencils, it makes everything much more enjoyable. I personally like colored pens as I can color coordinate my notes.
- First-Aid: You never know when you might have an accident or someone else might have a cut. It’s good to be prepared and have some bandages and antibiotic.
- Pad or Tampon Holder (for the ladies): Nothing is more embarrassing then having to hide your tampon or pad in your pocket, shoe, or physically lug your bag to the bathroom. There are some cute holders to do away with that problem.
- Tape, Whiteout, and Stapler: For those tears, mistakes, or papers you have to staple together.
- Boots: The weather is cooling down which means you can finally trade in your flip flops for some lovely leather boots.

- Cardigans, Hoodies, or Sweaters: Need I say more?

- Laptop: They say it isn’t mandatory…but it really is. Get yourself a laptop, it will save you from all the bother of borrowing one from the library. (Don’t forget the cute accessories such as the cases and covers)

- USB: A lifesaver if your computer crashes or is damaged.
- Notebooks: If typing up notes isn’t your thing, be sure to get yourself a notebook or some loose-leaf to jot them down.
- Voice Recorder: Some teachers talk way too fast or you look at your notes to see that nothing makes sense. Get a recorder and ask the professor if you can record their lectures. You can play them back and write notes to make remembering much easier.
