The Bag

Forget what's in my bag, what is my bag??

For starters, you will not catch me on campus without my Longchamp. In fact, I wonder how I ever used a conventional backpack! This bag offers tons of space for all of your essentials, while also looking extremely chic and on-trend. My specific bag i...

Keeping my A's straight

Every semester, I make sure to have one notebook with at least three subjects inside. Most of my classes allow laptops, but for the select few that do not, this is the route I take.

I LOVE the laptop I use for school. It is super easy to use, has a large screen, and has all of the applications I could ask for. I've never really been a MacBook girlie, and this is the perfect option if that isn't really your vibe either. My laptop...

I loveeeeee a pen that is really inky. These ones do the trick perfectly! From history notes to physics homework, these pens are my actual ride or dies.

One of my favorite study methods is to go through all of my existing notes with a highlighter. These ones are my favorites! They barely bleed through notebook pages, prevent smudging, and come in so many fun colors!

I always have my Sol de Janeiro handy, just in case! Whether you're leaving the gym, heading to class, or just need a refresh, it's the perfect body mist! I particularly love scent 40 but you really can't go wrong. They are all excellent!

I always carry a mini deodorant with me as well. I am veryyyyy conscious about how I smell, so it's great to have this on me at all times for whenever I need a refresh!

I also love this hand sanitizer! Another absolute essential that keeps you clean and bacteria free in a pinch. I also love how it does not leave my hands feeling sticky or dry. I love this product!

Summer Fridays lip balm is my favorite as well! With the cold, I feel like my lips get extremely dry, and this is the perfect balm to combat that. It smells delicious, has the perfect glossy finish, and sits on your lips very nicely. Another 10/10 fr...

I also keep a claw clip clamped to one of the straps of my Longchamp. I have several from Anthro that I love, including the white orchid clip! My hair is quite layered, but I feel like it still helps keep it out of my face. I love these!!!

I don't think any trendy water bottle will ever compare to the Owala. It has a straw feature, it has a lock on it, and it keeps my water nice and cold. I also love how 4 of the 32oz Owala equal a gallon, as it is easy for me to keep track of througho...

If you know me, you know I love my Crystal Light packets!! They add some much-needed flavor to my water without hindering it's qualities. My favorite flavor is the iced-tea lemonade!

Not something I keep in my bag, but if I've got my Longchamp, this is likely in my hands (or empty). I think this is a great Starbucks drink if you need something STRONG (I need something strong). The flavors are so earthy and delicious, and I love t...

I still use my OG Airpods from like 2019 and they are my saviors. I actually cannot walk anywhere on campus without them. It's honestly a little sad

I always like to have this on me, just in case. My phone dies very quickly and I always get nervous that something bad will conveniently happen once it's dead. A great thing to have around!!!
