Things I had/wish I had during my grad school experience. (If you don’t have an iPad & have the money for it I recommend. I was one of the only ones without one.)
I love this COACH tote bag. I use it all the time to carry my laptop, notebooks, and everyday essentials (keys, wallet, license). It’s stayed in good shape after using it 24/7 the past year.

Make sure to have sharpies! You never know when you might need one.

Clinic must haves
These are all things that make clinic go by smoothly. Don’t worry about searching what to buy I have pretty much anything you need right here.
