School Work Needs
Recs that will make your work load easier or bring some much needed peace to a chaotic life area.
A cute planner will help you stay organized and make you want to use it. I have a planner and love it. I use it to organize when assignments are due and important class dates.
Academic Planner
I do the majority of my school work on my laptop or ipad. It's so much more efficient to get work done this way. Most assignments are online anyways so having easy access to a laptop is much needed.
MacBook
I do still enjoy hand writing my notes sometimes. It helps me retain the information better so if you're the same way then you definitely need to get yourself some notebooks that will last.
Notebooks
If you want cute notes like these, then invest in some cute and affordable highlighters. I use mine to keep my notes organized and so they look cute. The girls that get it, get it.
Highlighters
Along with highlighters, get yourself some cute, colorful pens to write with too. By writing my notes in different colors, I'm able to retain the information better and plus it's super cute to look at!
Gel Pens
I love using index cards to study for exams. They are the best way I've found to retain information. You can get index cards from any supply store so go get some to stay on top of your school work.
Index Cards
If you have to walk far to your classes, a good quality backpack is much needed. These North Face bags will last you all through college. I had to walk a decent amount to some of my classes and loved my bag.
Backpack
You're going to need a cute pencil case to carry all of your highlighters and pens. Amazon has a wide selection of choices to choose from.

Dorm Needs
You're going to be here for a while, so make your space personable to you. Embrace your creativity and decorate your room freely. Here you'll find things I couldn't live without, and things that made my space more cozy.
We weren't allowed to have open flames in our dorms so I got a candle warmer and love it. I use it all the time and it's technically not breaking their rules lol.

A mattress topper is a must have for a college dorm. The beds are not comfy and having my mattress topper was the only was to get good sleep.

Dorms barely come with any storage so you're going to want to buy some of your own. I bought a lot of storage organizers and loved it. I definitely recommend using the space under your bed for extra storage.
Storage
Every girl needs a cute and functional vanity to get ready for class. I had to take my vanity to my dorm it was non negotiable. This can double as a desk or more storage if your vanity has extra drawers.
Vanity
A few plants around your room can make it feel so cozy and welcoming. It's where you're going to live for a year so make it as comfortable and enjoyable for yourself as possible!
