What's In My Backpack?

Hey y’all! August is here which means it is back to school time. Today I will be sharing with you some of the things I keep in my backpack. I haven’t gone school supply shopping yet so I didn’t include many folders, spirals, and other things like that. Once I go school supply shopping, I might post a school supplies haul. Comment below if you would like to see that. Hope you find this post helpful!

My monogrammed chevron backpack is from

Etsy. I got this last year at the beginning of

second semester and plan on using it again this

year. It is so cute and really functional. There are

a lot of pockets and a laptop sleeve attached inside.

 These are my academic essentials. I would be completely

lost without my Lilly Pulitzer planner. Having plenty of pens

and pencils is a necessity, you don't want to be the

person always asking to borrow a pen. I am a highlighter

addict. I highlight everything, so highlighters are a must have.

The last thing is index cards. I think index cards are the

perfect study aid.

 Although this is the spiral and folders I used last

semester, I plan on purchasing similar ones this semester.

I used a five subject notebook for all five of my class.

I have used this brand of folders ever since I can remember.

The colors are so bright and the pockets inside are so

functional. Lastly, my graphing calculator, which is pink in

an effort to make math more fun, is a necessity.

Maybe it's just me but I get hungry throughout the

day, so I like to keep snacks in my backpack. My

favorites include almonds, bananas, Cliff protein bars,

carrots, or grapes. These healthy snacks are tasty and

keep me full and energized during class. My

Camelbak has a monogrammed sticker on it from

ForeverMeBoutique (link). I like to stay hydrated during class

and my Camelbak is easy to throw in my backpack.

 These are my personal essentials. I keep tinted

lipbalm and hand sanitizer in my backpack to use to

freshen up before class. I have found keeping tissues in

your backpack is a good idea in case you get sick. No

likes constantly having to leave the classroom to blow

their nose. I also keep pain medicine in my

backpack for those pesky afternoon headaches.

Lastly, these are the things I always need but never

seem to have. Headphones are helpful for in between

classes whether it be watching a lecture online, listening

to some tunes, or a quick Netflix binge. I always want gum

in class, so I keep a pack in my backpack. The last thing

I keep in my backpack is change. My school charges us

to print things so having change is a necessity. Change is
also great for the days you forget a snack and need to
grab something from the vending machines.
