School Supplies
These are all of my favorite school supplies and where I get them on a budget! It is better to be prepared than to need school or anything in life, so I like to stock up before every school year!!
Getting one binder per day or even per class can be helpful if your Professors pass out a lot of paper work or papers! Make sure to keep ALL papers they hand out UNTIL the end of the semester. You may not know what can come in handy.

Having a paper notebook per class or even just one on hand is best. Remember that it is always better to be prepared than to be in need! Plus you can always scan documents into your devices!

I have these on hand because I have had several professors allow us to use one on tests as a “cheat sheet”. I also love these for notes/ quick jot down notes and flash cards!

I never thought I would have needed a stapler until a professor would not let me turn in an unstapled paper and would not let me use hers….So moral of the story is…just get the stapler.
Mini Staplers for College Students! Absolute must-have!
Get your calculator. You will need to get comfortable using one for tests and exams for math and science courses. See what your classes allow you to have and I recommend getting the best one.

These are all of my favorite digital products that I use for college and where I got them from! I love all of these products and they are extremely helpful in studying/ managing college life.
I have a Mac for school and it is one of my favorite tools! I was already comfortable with the format because I have always had Apple products. But a computer in general is essential in today's age of school.
