Tech
I am a very techy person so I LOVE to use it in college especially when in the long run it saves me money + I learn better with it ✨
1000/10 ✨🌟 I LOVE MI IPAD. I have had my iPad for 2.5+ years and its still going strong. 0 notebooks, great battery life and the Air is the perfect balance between the regular iPad and the Pro.
Apple iPad Air 11-inch M3 Chip 128GB Starlight
1000/10 🌟 This paired with the ipad= GAME CHANGER. Since its the iPad Air its always charged. It has haptic touch and a bunch of other feautures but 2.5+ years and still going strong.
Apple Pencil Pro
1000/10 A bit bit more pricier than the typical amazon cases but SO WORTH IT. The retractable pencil holder is amazing and the quality is unmatched. 7 months and counting 🤞🏼
OtterBox Symmetry 360 Elite Case iPad Air
10/10 🌟To help with taking notes on your ipad. Regular screen protectors made my hand fall off but this one feels just like a traditional notebook. Cheap and does the job!
MOBDIK Paperfeel Screen Protector
2000/10 ⭐️ AMAZING BETTER THAT AIRPODS MAX. I said what I said. Lighter, better noice cancelation, and $100 cheaper. I love these for studying in the library or at home. LOVE the device switch feature.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones
1000/10 🌟 AMAZING NOISE CANCELLATION! Great for using it in between or in classes.
Apple AirPods Pro 3 Wireless Earbuds
10/10 🌟 When you have hundreds of dollars worth of tech in your backpack a tracker is a must. I know in college we leave things stranded and because of the unspoken code they are always there, but having a tracker just gives me peace of mind.
Apple AirTag
MAC IN ENGINEERING IS A no no. But it was gifted to me before I started my major and not going to lie but it's been a 10/10. I'm an apple girly so I just use parallels if the program is windows only.
Apple 2024 MacBook Pro Laptop
10/10 ✨ Built for mac, rechargable, portable, lightweight. Built just for us girls. I love it. I use it for creo, matlab, solidworks, etc.

Casio fx-115ES Plus 2nd Ed Advanced Calc
