What's In My Bag? Backpack Edition



So, I'm a full-time student and I also work full time. I leave my house around 8:30 in the morning and I don't get home till around 11:30-12am.

It sucks.

Because I'm gone all day, I have a lot of stuff to carry around.

Besides the obvious phone/keys/wallet, I also carry around:



My laptop. 

Because I'm at work for 8 hours, its the perfect time to get some homework done, if I have any free time that day. And even if I don't have any homework to do, I would get pretty bored at work without my laptop.

My planner.

Duh.

My kindle.

Just in case I can squeeze any reading time in at all throughout the day.

A hairbrush.

Walking around campus, my hair gets pretty tangled. I can't go into work looking like I have a rats nest on my head!

Any charger I might possibly need.

I have my laptop charger, phone charger, and a micro usb charger for my kindle and vape. I have a lot of electronics (but who doesn't?)

Lotion, tampons/pads, dryer sheets, gum, chapstick, and mattifying powder.

Y'know...just in case. The dryer sheets are perfect for funning through your hair to combat static and the mattifying powder is cause nobody could reasonably expect their makeup to last FOURTEEN HOURS. Although to be honest, I've gotten pretty close to perfecting my technique so that I don't have raccoon eyes at the end of the night and the first time it happened I was astounded. Anyways...

Snacks.

I get hungry. Sometimes I don't have time to eat, so I'll throw a clif bar or some sort of protein bar in my bag so I don't die.

Textbooks, notebook, pens, folder, mini stapler.

Cause you never know when you'll need to staple something, I guess? For real though, some professors won't take papers that aren't stapled. On those days, you will become a hero.


Seeing it all written out, it's no wonder my backpack is so heavy! I probably missed some stuff, too. I feel crazy but at the same time, I like to be prepared. 14 hours is a long time away from home.
