We're well into the fall semester! Here are some of my essentials for university you might not have thought of at the start 🙂

Headphones/earbuds

These will definitely come in handy to help you stay focused when studying in quiet areas like the library!

Good Quality Stationery

Spending the extra few dollars on a few good quality pens/pencils will come in handy, even if you're someone who takes your notes online.

I really like Muji as an affordable option for mechanical pencils that won't break easily, and my favourite pens are the Zebra Sarasa Quick Dry! These have never failed me.

Study snacks

It's always helpful to keep a few snacks in your bag for those moments when you need a little extra fuel! Granola bars, packaged cookies, and mini chip bags are all perfect to keep on hand.

Chargers

Nothing is worse than having your laptop or phone die and not having a charger to borrow! Keeping one in your bag will always make sure you have enough battery for whatever you need to complete

Daily Planner

Having a planner to keep track of your class schedule, assignments, and other important commitments is a must-have! I can't remember how many times my planner has saved me from missing a small assignment or quiz. I use Google Calendar, but a lot of my friends swear by Notion or even just a notebook! Whatever keeps you accountable.
