12 Essentials For Your School Bag

There are just some things you should never leave your house/dorm without. You never know what the day will bring and you always need to be prepared. Here are 12 essentials for your school bag!

1. A spare pen

Come on, I’m definitely not the only one who has forgotten a pen before. You never know when you need to write something down!

2. Tissues

Tissues come in handy when you are sick or if you spill something and need to clean it up. It’s always good to be the person with the tissues.

3. Phone charger

Let’s face it, our phones are constantly dying. So, instead of asking the entire room if they have a charger you can borrow, always have yours on hand!

4. Breath mints/gum

If you’re having a long day, gum or breath mints are a must-have. Whether you had a garlic-filled lunch or you just love to stay fresh, it’s always good to have it!

5. Dry Shampoo

For the days where you run out of your house/apt./dorm and don’t realize that you have the greasiest hair! Dry shampoo is the perfect quick fix and people won’t even realize it has been days since you washed that mane.

6. Body spray/deodorant/whatever takes your fancy

Sometimes we forget to toss deodorant on when we are in a rush, it happens. So, be prepared and carry it handy!

7. Extra money

Do you know how many times I haven’t brought money with me to class and a friend asks to go to lunch afterwards? It saves a run back to the flat. By the time you get back, you’ve lost a lot of time, and blotchy and sweaty isn’t a good look.

8. Snack

A two hour lecture can be hard on someone like me who likes their food. Put that ten minute break to good use.

9. A drink and paracetamol

Sometimes a rough night before and an early class isn’t the best combination. So have your bag ready and don’t suffer all day long!

10. Tampons/pads

Because mother nature waits for no one.

11. Lotion

Dry skin is not fun. Make sure that your hands stay nice and smooth all day long by carrying lotion with you. This is especially important in the colder months!

12. Lip Balm/Gloss

There is nothing worse than sitting in class/at work with chapped lips and nothing to do about it. Always carry lip balm or gloss in your bag to ensure that your lips are smooth all day!
