From sling bags to backpacks. Summer is officially over. It's the start of another school year and the reign of heavy backpacks begin. As students, we are expected to come to class prepared. "Going to school without the essentials is like going to war without weapons" some would say; and they're right. As responsible college students, we have to adapt to the type of environment we are in because college is way different from high school and elementary school. We meet different requirements and thus we have different bag essentials. P.S. Some things in my bag may not be necessary to others. I just like to bring things that help me get through the day.
For school, I use my 100% polyester, maroon Lacoste backcroc backpack with contrasting zips. It has two compartments: one big compartment with three interior pockets including a laptop compartment and a small compartment in the front. I like using this backpack because it's sturdy. The polyester material is strong and durable. Straps are adjustable and very comfortable. This bag is perfect for carrying around heavy laboratory manuals and just about anything to help survive labs and lectures.In the large compartment, I have a yellow pad paper, light blue green plastic mini ziplock envelope with receipts in it, my POLSCI 2 book (it's borrowed, actually), my year-old lucky Sterling binder and my blue Sterling 2016 planner. I like using planners it keeps me on top of my game. Planners are an essential. I keep mine with me like all the time. I don't like writing down tasks and homework reminders on my notebook. I always write them on my planner under their specific date due.
In the small compartment, I have my butterfly, navy blue Montague pencil case, a medium-sized fan and a compact mirror from the Macabalang family. The blue one is my sister's.

What's inside my pencil case? I love taking down notes. It's one way of studying so I stock up on different types of pens because I write a lot. My pencil case is butterfly styled. It has a zip that goes almost all around the pouch and it opens like a butterfly. Currently, I have two Pilot G-Tec-C3 gel pens (one black and one blue), two Grip X3 Faber-Castell ballpens (one black and one blue), two Pilot Frixion erasable pens (one black and one blue), a red Avanti LT 832 mechanical pencil, a red-inked Amspec 6350 pen, orange Stabilo swing cool highlighter, a dual-tipped Amspec highlighter, a 0.3 uni pin fine line black pen, a Orions ruler and a Staedler rasoplast pencil eraser.
