ESSENTIAL #1: THE BACKPACK OR TOTE

First, let’s talk about your backpack. This lil guy is about to be your partner-in-crime for the semester, so you want to make sure you have a great relationship. Trendy is fun, but aim for trendy + supportive, so you aren’t struggling with a sore back and a sore brain as finals roll along.

We love this structured bag with padded straps from Vera Bradley.

Not a backpack gal? Check out this awesome tote by Dagne Dover that can fit your laptop, notebook, water bottle, and a pair of backup sneakers for the gym!

ESSENTIAL #2: COMFY SHOES

If you’re going to be walking back and forth from the dorm to the library — or hiking it to athletic practice after a school day — comfy shoes are key. Thankfully, wearing sneakers is so in. Here are some of our faves.

We’re totally obsessed with these platform cheetah sneaks from Keds! Check them out here.

The Adidas’ Stan Smith’s are also a classic. You can get yours here.

ESSENTIAL #3: A LEAK-PROOF WATER BOTTLE

Chances are, you’ll be pretty busy walking across campus between classes. It’s super helpful to have a big, leakproof water bottle you can toss in your bag when the bell rings and get moving!

We love the 24 ounce Hydroflask.

ESSENTIAL #4: HEALTHY STUDY SNACKS

On-the-go-gals don’t always have the time for luxurious meal prep. We totally get it! For this reason, it’s totally essential to have some easy, healthy study snacks.

Carbs are easy to come by, but it’s often hard to hit your ideal protein intake. That’s why we love KRAVE JERKY. It’s made here in our hometown, Austin, Texas!

If you’re into fruity or sweet stuff, we love Peeled’s dried fruit as a healthy snacks!

If you’re looking to fight cravings & feel an energy boost, Superfood Tabs are the perfect study drink.

At some point this semester, you’re going to need a little extra study motivation beyond your own brainpower. Good coffee is so key for when this moment rolls around.
