Basic School Supplies
This device is essential for taking notes, writing essays, and streaming Netflix during “study breaks.”

You use this to keep track of due dates, office hours, and which day it is (because college is a blur).
Planner/Agenda
This tech tool connects you to Wi-Fi, memes, and the entire world… unless your WI-FI is down.

This container is your best friend during late-night study sessions
Coffee, coffee mug (or travel mug)
Basic but essential, it comes in blue, black, or that mysterious red one professors love.
Pens
These are used to organize paper notes, class handouts, or that syllabus you’ll never read.
Binder/Folder
This simple office supply holds papers together without stabbing you like a staple.
Paperclips
You might need this to participate in online classes, Zoom calls, or to ignore group projects
