College essentials For Freshers

Heya! So I know like every year this year too millions of students will get in to colleges for the first time. Most of them will wonder how they grew up so fast. Okay so all those millions of students here I am to help you out with college essentials .Okay so these essentials are not dorm room essentials but common college essentials.

1) Confidence 

 First thing is First You need to have confidence in yourself. Never let anything put you down. You’re beautiful in your own way! Never compare yourself to anyone else. Never. If you’re still not confident about yourself no matter what you do. Then wear your favorite outfit to the first day of college (or whenever you feel the lack of confidence). This will make you know that you look fabulous and nobody can get you down that way.Check out this article I wrote about it "Boost Your Confidence"

2) A bag with everything 

 The best way go around is with a bag preferably a backpack (it avoids the one shoulder pain) with everything you need. Here are a few things you might need to start off with:

•  Your books – I know it’s oblivious but many people stuff their bags with millions of stuff but forget to leave space for basic books.                                                                                                                 
• Lip gloss – For chapped lips

• Deodorant – You don’t wanna be sweaty and  smelly

• Hair pins and rubber bands – These are really helpful when you just wanna bundle up your hair and get rid of them. Just make a simple updo and you are free from the heat and the messy hair.

• Chocolates – If you’re a girl then you obliviously love chocolates. Stuff your bag with a few chocolates to help you when you need them (and to save you from dementors :P).

•  A mini mirror – For you to check your hair and your makeup whenever you want.

•           Ear plugs – To obliviously listen to songs from your cell.
• 
  
•  Some medicines – Just keep some basic medicines you know you will need in your bag. Like an antiseptic or a band-aid .Just a couple of medicines you know you will always need.
• 
  
•  Your wallet- Never forget your wallet at home. You will end up in a mess. If you someday do then keep some money inside your jeans or the cover of your cell phone cover or in your bag. This money should not be used by you on any occasion except emergency. Keep it as emergency money.

•  Hand sanitizer – A hand sanitizer always helps whether your hands are stinking or your going to have your food and have no idea whether your hands are clean. Take a hand sanitizer.

• Fold-able  flats – Okay so there are these little things available that you can just fold and keep in your bag and when you are tiered of wearing your heals or some nasty shoe then you can just use these as they are comfortable and are easy to carry.

 3) Wardrobe 

Okay so I know many of you all out there do not go and stay in dorm rooms for college so you can go shopping whenever you want. So it’s not a big deal for you but its not practical to keep shopping every day. Anyways here are a few things (basics) that you ought to have just for the start of the college days.

·         Basic tank tops preferably colourful

·         An oversized white top – You can then style it  the way you want with belts , scarves or even jackets.

·         Belts – Have a variety of belts to help you out with the morning dressing up .

·         Scarves – These will keep you from cold and will also add some colour to your outfit

·         Jackets – I prefer to have  a denim jacket  but the choice is yours.

·         Bracelts – You can get great bracelets for very little money. If nothing works with you jean and top then just go and add on a little heavy bracelet and your ready!

·         Statement necklace – Just a couple of them will do. Make sure the ones you buy look great on your oversized top.

·         Jeans – Take your time to find out the perfect brand for you. The one that makes your legs look longer and makes you look slimmer. Get the basic jeans colours like Dark denim , Light Denim , Black and White . You can even invest in a fancy jean or a legging.

I guess that’s it to get you started for your first year. Its not a hard and fast rule for you to have all of them before starting your college but it would be great to have some staples in your wardrobe.

4) Shoes 

credits

You may get big chunky heals or invest in expensive sneakers but are they worth it ? Will you actually wear those huge heals in which you cannot even walk? Or will you wear those expensive sneaker without care because sneakers are meant to wear and tear , to be used harshly . Nope you wont instead of those expensive items get yourself a few good quality shoes or sandle. To start you off get 3 pairs of footwear a black, white and a little fancy one or whatever if in fashion. Get yourself some boots(Not too long ones just the ones you will wear on jeans or with leggings or Dresses).You can then add on to the things later.

5) Alarm clock 

 Invest in a good alarm clock in case you are a heavy sleeper. You may have one on you cell too but you don’t wake up through that one. Get a classic alarm clock that you can just bang your hand on. And throw it away :P

Psst..Do not forget the basic school supplies i.e Highlighters , pens , pencil , notebooks , etc. Get yourself a planner (a good one)these help you to be organized and be able to make everything possible :) . Do tell me what else you took to college on your freshmen year and your first day story of the college. Feel free to ask me questions if still any doubt I would love to help you out and Yeah! Do tell me what you would like to have an article on. Okay then I’ll meet you on Saturday till then Ciao!
