Gone are the days of shorts, delicate blouses and sunglasses; here are those with hot cocoa, blankets and of course, scarves. Fall is finally here, my favorite season (not just because of the great sweaters I get to wear), which means that midterm season has ramped up. Keep up with school with this chilly weather can get tough sometimes, so here’s a list of some necessities to keep you warm and focused on campus!
1. SWEATERS- I can’t imagine life without my spectacular sweaters. I have an entire wardrobe full of them. Wool sweaters, cotton, llama-hair sweaters, you name it. Keep warm people, and invest in a great sweater, maybe even with a cat on it.
2. A good book- while you might not be able to get to read as much as you normally can, I have found that just reading whenever you have a second is a great way to detach yourself! Snuggle up in a blanket before bed with a cup of sleepy-time tea and read a little if you can find the time in your busy schedule! It’s my favorite way to relax.
3. SNACKS- Om nom nom. Enough said
4. A Watch- with this dreary weather, I can hardly tell what time it is- keeping a watch on me all the time forces me out from under the covers and off to class!
5. Phone and computer- simply essential for life
6. Lots of pillows
7. Water bottle- stay hydrated people!!
8. Coffee Thermos- stay AWAKE and warm people!
These are just some of the things I think that everyone needs on campus during this time of the year! Of course, you will need the dorm essentials, like storage bins, school supplies, etc, but the above are just some things I simply couldn’t live without during fall at Hopkins!
Lucky for me I also have the great company of my pride and joy, Pendleton (and his older brother Tony) to keep me warm and happy…and distracted.
