What You ACTUALLY Need in High School

I know that school has recently ended for most people but I actually finished my freshman year over a month ago!  Now that I have a year of high school under my belt, I know what is actually needed for surviving high school.  Every school has a supply list but most things you need, aren't written down but passed down from student to student.  So let's get into what you actually need in high school...

• Ear Buds: I can't say how often I use these!  There have been occasions when a teacher wants us to listen to a video or are able to listen to music and I don't have my ear buds on me!  I know keep a spare pair in my pencil bag at all times.
• High Lighters: As a high schooler, we take LOTS of notes in various classes.  My notes were always done in pencil, but I couldn't focus.  That was until I started highlighting everything I needed to study.
• Gum: My fave is some kind of mint or Sour Patch Kids but that's not the point.  Gum can help you remember things for a test if you chew it while studying and completeting the test.
• Deodarent/Body Spray: You will get sweaty and gross in school but nobody wants to smell you.  Make sure you reapply throughout the day!
• Snacks: I eat pretty early in the morning (6:15 am!) and don't eat lunch until noon.  This makes me hungry and so I keep emergency food on hand.  It also helps make new friends.
• Good Quality Bag: If you get a cheap backpack, it will hurt your back and shoulders.  A good investment now will save you the pain later!
• Portable Charger: My phone dies quite often and so a portable charger saves lives!

I think that's all for now!
