What I pack in my bag for uni
I know this isn't the most beautiful photo I could have taken but prepping and keeping a house and pets and a full time job and other things makes you very busy. But I wanted to show what is in my bag and how I organize it.
So... what's in there?
A pencil pouch I got on sale at Michael's for $5. I have 5 pencils, 7 different colored pens, lead, 4 colored highlighters, and a mini stapler inside
A pair of scissors
Tampons, hair ties, eye drops, and chapstick
A 3 sectioned notebook so I can keep notes for all my classes in one notebook
What else I usually bring (or pack if needed on a day to day basis):
Water and coffee
Granola bars or other fast snack foods
My surface, mouse, and chargers
Makeup
Extra socks
I try my best to keep it simple and limited while also carrying things I will need throughout the day like eye drops or extra socks (field work gets you gross). I have had many times where I forgot to change notebooks or packed the wrong ones on accident so I splurge a little and get myself the fancy notebooks with as many sections as I have classes so I don't do that again. Also keeping a stapler and scissors will win you friends or at least acquaintances easily!
I keep a standardized note taking system as well to help make everything flow better and make revisions easier on myself. I write all my notes in class in pencil and then go back and put vocab/key terms in red, main ideas in black, people in purple, dates in green, and scientific names in brown. I have orange and blue pens as well for whatever I feel like to make the notes more interesting. If my notes aren't colorful, I won't look at them.
When I was a freshman I had so much stuff in my bag and was so worried I'd need something obscure, but over the years I've realized that I really don't need much at all!
Happy prepping and good luck!!!!

Had to behead this thing as soon as i made it because the neck of the onion dome cracked (let it go too thin and too much of it was pith, i think). Cut it cleanly so i can glue it back together. Not sure if thats a better or worse approach than leaving it jagged, I guess we'll see if it comes off again.
This is the offcut of the previous spindle I made. Less interesting wood but I still really love the speckles. And i was able to leave more of the worm marks at the base. They remind me of the base of antlers a lot.

it's fine to drink from the pond as long as you remember to put iodine in your water bottle, wait 20 minutes, and make sure the threads of the water bottle are also purified
