the ULTIMATE COLLEGE ESSENTIALS guide! ⭐️📔 (tech, accessories, stationery & more) 

As a person in college right now, you do not need to be spending this much money! All of these are really expensive items, and you can survive and still do amazing in college with just regular school items from Walmart. To everyone watching this, please do not listen to her! Do not buy anything before you begin your classes. Let the first day pass, and you will notice that you won't even need a pen and paper for some of your classes sometimes. Let a week pass before going on a shopping haul. I use none of these items (it's good that she uses them I guess), and I never needed any of these. If you are going to take notes on your iPad, then don't buy stationary and vice versa! You can also get amazing headphones from other brands for under 100 dollars, you do not need the AirPods. You also do not need glasses to look cute when you are studying. I have had so many friends buy some of these and spend a lot of money only to never use them. There was nothing informative in this video!

if you are getting new tech! i highly recommend looking for refurbished / second hand options! the saving are unbeatable and you can find somthing perfect for you. for me i wnated a phone with tons of storage but i don’t want to pay for it. getting somthing refurbuished allowed me to get what i was looking for at an incredibly affordable price and it was lightly used a few scratches but nothing noticeable one i wiped it and put a case on it. not to mention that these tech companies are extremely explorative !! free congo

PLEAAAAASE DO A NOTION TOUR VIDEO, i use notion but my page layout is suuuuper basic cuz i'm not a tech girlie (though even using the most basic layout it helps so much to keep me from procrastinating)

One thing that really helped me is getting a notebook for time management! It's such a lifesaver in uni, especially when there are so many cute ones to choose from. My personal favorite is Burga

I may be late to school by watching this, but it’s worth it

as someone really looking forward to college life, youve just inspired maybe 4-5 people right now

Me going to college in Greece, I feel like I live in the stone age 😂. No macbooks or ipads, notebook and pens people and if you were fancy, highlighter. The softwares for studying would have been useful though and headphones are definitely life saver when you need to study.

Here's my essentials list - - Highlighters... The cheap ones work fine. - black pens for signing official paperwork -pencils - good for mistakes on homework and required for many tests -Tags for your textbook -notebooks, obviously -folders... That said some professors give you so much stuff that you need something more substantial 😂 -planner to write assignments Then you wait until your classes. - a lot of times you don't even touch the textbook so it's a waste of money - math classes only allow specific calculators and you don't want to waste your money on a $100+ calculator that you can't even use 🤷‍♀️ -some may require a binder -ect... If you can afford an iPad - I would do it... But don't spend money you don't have, you can absolutely succeed easily without it. I just like having all my notes in one place and it makes homework easier because I don't have to print anything. Get the air, don't waste your money on a pro, trust me. In that case... - a case -apple pencil -matte screen protector -pencil, pens, Highlighters, tags - ONE notebook and folder. You won't need more. But sometimes you get stuff in class or have assignments in class that's due at the end of class. Scan in any handouts into your iPad later *I do NOT recommend goodnotes anymore. I loved goodnotes 5. Goodnotes 6 has a ton of bugs, my files keep corrupting, and there's a ton of overheating and battery life issues. The devs care more about adding features instead of fixing bugs to make the app actually usable

I am currently going to be a Junior in college for the Fall of 2024, and all I can say is that most of the time it is going to be 'cheaper is better', honestly. If you are someone like me who cannot afford the expensive items that may be more attractive to the social eye, you have to come to terms that it will always set you back. The money you could've saved if you bought the cheaper version of the product would be able to go somewhere else. Most of the time you're just paying for the brand name and not the actual quality of the product!

Omg I love your content and you give me huge motivation to take care of myself and help me try hard so I can get into a good college hopefully :) thank you 💛

Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the LYXBAG bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.

step 1: have money

if you can’t afford an ipad or just don’t know if you need it, don’t get one. I chose to buy a new computer over an Ipad (also not necessary just a choice I fortunately had) and instead took paper notes which honestly was much more preferable when it came to studying and retention and so much more affordable.

Am i in collage? No. Will i go to collage? Probably not. Did i watch this whole this though? Yes, yes i did.

Me who's literally 13 watching like I'm going to college soon or something

I’m obsessed with your content! it’s just so reliable

I would get blue light glasses but the thing is that I already have prescription glasses so yay! Also what I do to keep me from loosing my keys is just put them on a clip and clip it to my belt loop (I wear jeans on the daily)

I can't wait for new videos. They are so cozy and relaxing. Hope you'll start posting more on youtube

APPLE CIDER ON A APPLE PRODUCT KILLED ME💀

The place to be.. so in love with the COPYMAXS

Great video would LOVE more like this And also I can’t believe u graduated collage been watching you forever

I got a pair of sony headphones, and they are literally the absolute best

I’d wear a lanyard anyway but that’s because I use one already for my house key (it’s much lighter than my keychain).

Could you make a video about easy gadgets to use/ buy for cooking as a college student. Love your vids keep up the work!!😊🫶🏼

I love ur channel!!!! It really helps me prepare for modern college!!! Such a time saver and very relatable! Just earned a new sub 😊!!!!

tbh all I needed in college was my laptop and pencils(if you are having labs). you can take note on your laptops bossbabes!!

i'm literally so happy that ur finally posting

For macbook or ipad, I prefer iPad because of the apple pencil and better planning methods. Ipad is more versatile and if you want to have something to maybe type can get a case with a keyboard (preferably detachable) and that will sovle all your problems

Could you prettyyyy pleaseeee make a video about notion and your whole acc and how you made it cute 💕💓🩷💗💖💘💘💗💓💗💖🩷💘🩷💝🩷💖🩷💗💓💖🩷💘🩷💝🩷💖🩷💗💓🩷💖💘💝🩷🩷💓🩷💓🩷💖🩷💝💝💘💖💓💗🩷💘🩷💝🩷💝🩷💖🩷💗💓🩷💘🩷💗

Please do a notion tour video. That would be awesome. Ps I love your video

How about you give us some affordable advice :)

NOTION TOUR PLEASE!!! IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET USED TO IT BUT I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND 😭

Your videos are so informative. Can you pls tell me about How to manage college study + part time work + self studies. You guide will help us. By the way I am a IT student .

Thanks for the Campus notebook rec , they are so flat and fit right with my laptop

PLEASE do a dorm essentials!!💙

I just love ur personality I wanna be more like you!!!❤❤❤

this video is going to be years old by the time i need it but thank you so much!

Please do a notion set up video!

I would even say to invest in a poncho. I remember back in April 2015. There was one day when I was in college, and there was no way to stay dry even while using an umbrella.

For people choosing computers for college, at times colleges has recommended specs based on your major, like I’m doing advertising and I’ll be using more demanding programs so I have a little better than the standard.

Bro istg i love this woman SAVE HER AT ALL COST

I was headed to class and slipped on the icy subway station stairs (live in NYC), landed on my back, and bent my MacBook in half. Tragic. AppleCare plan is worth it!

Literally not even done w 8th grade but better early than never🤷🏾‍♀️

Wow, this is wild. I graduated from grad school in 2005, and things were so different!

I swear I get so happy when I c that u posted I love ur vids sm ❤❤❤

I love it when you uploads!🎉

We need that notion tour!!! Plzzzz

It’s been so long since you’ve done a video I’m so freaking excited

Yeah it's really easy to have all that when daddy is footing the bill

Pen (optional)

loved this video!! can you make a video going into depth on how you use notion for school?🫶🏼

Bestie is finally uploading ❤

Guys what device would be better for a first year finance major an iPad or a MacBook

thank u SO MUCH for posting this content u are amazing I hope I can get into CalTech :)

omg thnxxx sm, could u pls make a vid abt notion and how to use it 🙏🙏

👀👀👀 First time to your channel. Love your videos❤

sony xb-910n ones are like the half of xm5’s price, and theyre pretty good!

yessss more videos!!! Also this was very nice to watch even though I’m not even close to going to college 😅

Gurl I don't have money for all this 😭

I wish I could use planners and Notion. The only thing that works for me is to write things down in the notes app or in a regular notebook. The first two feel like a big commitment and I always give up when it doesn't look perfect or when I forget to use it for a while.

Can you do a Goodnotes tutorial to do pretty notes?

Could you do a live stream showing us more stuff and maybe like showing how u do ur makeup etc. ily ur vids soo much

Be careful with using Grammarly because I've heard of people's work being flagged as AI work and cheating when using Grammarly even if they didn't use the new AI feature.

Could you compare the Sony headphones you have to the Jlab studio pros? The Jlab ones are cheaper but still quite nice.

I love your videos so much and pls make more videos like this and also u should make videos about NYC as well. Since you recently moved. Thank you so much! I love you!

Could totally relate to missing items and phone storage thing 😂

I'm starting college in 4 months so this video was great! Thank you!

My middle school provides an iPad for each student with a keyboard case and that works great 2:00

I love your videos!!! I’m sad your not in college anymore but glad for you because I loved you college vids

I love your hair

this is so so so incredibly helpful

Nice job girl. Have a nice day ❤

hey i just found your video but i recommend the souncore 20 anker, i love it cause it is lightweight and i have bigish ears so they fit perfect

AHAH ur a little forgetful but the amount of things u do to ensure you're gonna not forget makes u very responsible ur doing good being an adult!!! thanks for this vid im using this for the uni im going to soon ahhh

Girl, you are lucky! I know you lived in Ithaca and today we had torrential rains. Guess who didn’t have an umbrella?!

This was extremely helpful; I am about to become a senior in less than two days (I am exempt from all class test) and I have to apply for my college in December (7 months) then I work for that program that summer. Yes I will be living at home while I go to college but I still need to start looking for a shopping list for college therefore this was very helpful. CLASS OF 2025 !!!!

4:41 I deadass thought that the tote bag had words from one of my favorite songs but noo😭😭

So relatable (I'm italian and probably never going to university)

Sony headphones are amazing! I don't think the Apple headphones are worth the money, Apple also owns Beats, and they are again-much cheaper. But I'm in Europe, in USA I believe you can get student discount. A friend of mine got a great deal for iphone, ipad and air pods all together.But my Sony headphones were 75$, 5 years going strong, they have amazing buttons and connect really easily. Plus the battery live is over 48 hours (They last me around 2 weeks) (I got the previous gen, then the ones she showed)

thanks for the advice!! i love your videos ! 💗💗💗

love this video, super informative. thanks girl💕💜

What color is her owala water bottle, I can’t find the color she uses

Make more videos. I really like your content. ❤

Your content is amazing!

Thank you so much for all of this!!

a little off topic but where is your blanket from that is on the end of your bed?

Where does the stationary begin?

For headphones, I use the Haylou S35 ANC, they sort of imitate the Sony ones, but are 1/10 of the price (at least where I live)

How did you organize your backpack because I’ve used that kind and I couldn’t fit aaaaanything but I really like the way it looks and feels

We use notability at my middle school and it’s great and easy 9:42

Not me watching this as a freshman in high school 😭😭💗🧁

love this

I LOVE your videos so much they are so helpful, I notice in the background there's this extremely cute pink blanketplease tell me is that on amazon?

yeahhhh first like💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 i love your vids 💕💕💕

ur a lifesaver

DO A NOTION VIDEO PLSSSS

Not me being an elementary student watching videos about college

Guys can someone suggest backpacks to carry sketchbooks and all as I’m a fashion student we need space 🥹😭

I have the Sony WH-CH720N and so far it’s been working great for me. It’s cheaper than the xm4. I almost got the xm4 but I tried the other ones on and compared and they’re pretty much the same to me
