My favorite highlighters ❤️

Necessary for marking important topics and things to remember.
2000Pcs Multi-Color Sticky Tabs for Books
paper
I use these to write notes about topics, then mark my page with a sticky tab.

For longer, more detailed notes.
Post-it Greener Notes 4x6 in, 5 Pads
I use index cards specifically for studying and remembering vocab words. Pastel or white is the way to go, though. The neon, bright colored ones make it too difficult to focus.
Mr. Pen Lined Index Cards 3x5, 180 Ct
I use these for dividing up classes within a binder and my notes throughout the year.
Mr. Pen 6 Tab Binder Dividers, 2 Sets
I use binders to collect my notes I no longer need until the end of the semester or year. Then, I have one big study guide.

emergency kit 🚨
I’m always nervous something’s going to be in my teeth after I eat, so caring these around is essential in case I need one.

Chewing helps me focus sometimes.

For the paper cuts and also because I’m accident prone.

You’d be surprised how handy alcohol pads can be.
CURAD Alcohol Prep Pads, 400 Medium Wipes
goes without saying
Always Maxi Pads Regular Absorbency Unscented 48
These are essential for removing stains quickly.

tech
Perfect for digital note taking. I also use this for personal planning.
Apple iPad Air 13" M3 Chip 128GB Space Gray
A lot cheaper than an Apple Pencil and works just as well.
Hastraith Stylus Pen for iPad 2018-2025, White
If you don’t want to buy a laptop and have an iPad this is the way to go. It so simple and allows for more versatility when taking notes and studying.
BQDIYOO Keyboard Case for iPad 9/8/7 Gen 10.2"
I’m currently taking a public speaking class and this is essential! If you have to ever do PowerPoints or something similar you’ll need one of these.
SanDisk 128GB Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive
This app helps me stay focused so much more than I usually do. Using it helps, because it rewards you with items that can be cashed out to decorate your bean’s space.

Please make sure you have a mattress topper!
LINENSPA 2 Inch Gel Memory Foam Topper Twin XL
Another mattress topper option. These are much better, because they don’t slide off as easily.
Utopia Bedding Quilted Fitted Mattress Pad Twin XL
Britas help save you so much money in the long run instead of buying a pack of water bottles.
