1. Keep a Schedule of classes and assignments on your phone

Keeping a schedule of your classes and assignments on your phone can keep you organized by giving you notifications for upcoming events. Some schools even have the schedule available for download for integration on Apple and Google calendars. Both calendars have integration on all devices so your computer, phone and smart watch have can all the same calendar.

3. Backpack Essentials

Having the right gear in your backpack can save you multitudes of headaches on campus.

Here are a few Essentials:

Portable charger– For when you can’t find an outlet near you (bonus points if you have one that can charge your laptop)

Hand Sanitizer– Because you don’t know where your hands have been while on campus.

Portable Umbrella– To protect you and your electronics from the rain (Especially if you live in Gainesville like me, they call it Rainesville for a reason)

Water Bottle– To keep you hydrated on those sunny days and those days when the hangover hits you especially hard.

4. Go to School events

Going to school events can save you money on food and also lets you meet people and make new friends. Try to join clubs that interest you and that have common hobbies and interests as you, and always be on the lookout for flyers with event dates!

5. Bring a Skateboard to campus

College Campuses can be enormous, so having a fun, compact way to get around can be a lifesaver. The perfect college skateboard is the PennyBoard. Designed to look great, ride as smooth as butter and exceeded all your expectations. The Australian brand has 12-plus years experience to its name, Penny puts as much weight on the durability and the sheer fun of its boards, which is what it’s all about. Penny Boards have been a staple on College Campuses around the country because of its slim, lightweight, portable design that anyone can learn to ride on.
