I am currently sat in Jamie's dorm room in his halls of residence whilst he is playing squash at the gym with one of his flatmates. Whilst sitting here, I had the sudden urge to write a post. However, with only a suitcase full of clothes and my university bag with me, I was pretty limited in my ideas. I decided what was inside my uni bag rather than my ancient suitcase was a lot more interesting!
Because I am old-hat at this university malarky now (I'm in my final year), I take for granted the essential items that I need on a day-to-day basis. However, my boyfriend started university this year, so I have been looking at University through 'fresher' eyes once again which has made me realise the top things I need to survive a crazy day on campus!
My top items for having in my university bag are as follows:
- An A5 notebook with good quality paper, I love the WHSmith ones as they paper isn't too thick but doesn't resemble tracing paper either, all for a really good price! WIN WIN
- My Kindle, I love my kindle, as noted in a previous post. I have a two-hour one way (four hours total) commute each day that I travel to uni and seeing as I own an iPhone with TERRIBLE battery life, I needed a train hobby that wouldn't affect this! I can honestly say I havent read so much in my life, I am currently 85% of the way through Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and I LOVE IT. Although, I have heard the end is disappointing so I am a bit worried!
- Books related to my course. Similarly to the kindle, I need something to fill the space of my commute, so doing a bit of studying not only fills this time but improves my performance too ;) haha!
- Diary. The little pink one in the picture is solely for uni work and term dates so I don't forgot anything important or get it confused with my social life or work! I also have a larger day to day view diary that I keep all other information, events etc in but rarely take this one to university!
- Additionally, I always make sure to have some lip products in my bag. Currently I have Rimmel Moisture Renew 210 Fancy, which is a gorgeous coral pink perfect for casual days and Seventeen Stay Pout in Rule Breaker which is the most amazing berry red shade perfect for autumn/winter!
Hope you enjoyed this quick little post all about my university essentials! Any questions about university feel free to leave them in the comments and I will do a post on the FAQ :)
Bye pals!
