You have got to stop asking your seatmate for a one-half crosswise sheet every time you have a quiz. Trust us, it's annoying! Make it a habit to stock up on this essential—from one whole, one-half crosswise, and one-half lengthwise to one-fourth pads—for when the need arises. Also, bring a few extra pens to school just in case your trusty ballpoint bails on you in the middle of a huge test.
The weather can be really hard to predict, so better have an umbrella with you all the time. You wouldn't want to reprint your thesis again when the pouring rain destroys it, would you? Neither would you want to get to class soaking in your own sweat because you didn't have any protection from the sun! Eww, right?
So you spend exactly P126 a day for transportation and food, but what if you don't catch the last train and you need to take a cab home? Do you have the extra cash? Some students try to control their savings by bringing only the exact amount they need, but be prepared with some emergency cash to avoid being in compromising and embarrassing situations!
There will be days when schoolwork gets too overwhelming that you'd rather skip lunch than miss your deadlines. Times like these call for snacks that you can munch on without leaving your table—like fruits or sandwiches! These will not only keep hanger at bay, but will also give you the creative juices you need to finish your tasks.
You can always stop by the clinic if you're feeling ill, but it's still best if you have the basics (such as band aids, headache meds, and anti-diarrhea meds) with you just in case dysmenorrhea or a headache comes into play while you're outside of campus.
Aside from the basics—BB cushion compact, concealer, oil blotting sheets, lip and cheek tint, lip balm, and perfume—you should also bring hair ties and nail polish with you at school. Hair ties will easily save you from those bad hair days, while a single swipe of your favorite Chic Nail Color will instantly add oomph to your look and prep your nails for those #inmyhands Instagram posts!
We're sure you'll nail everything college life throws your way when you have these eight things in your bag!
