So as I said before I am currently studying my A-levels. This means I need plenty of handy and practical things to keep me going!
First of all, my trusty pencil case- a minion of course! It is full of black and blue pens, a flexi 30cm ruler, pencils, post-it notes and of course a funky rubber or two :) I'm always trying to bring to life the simpler things- I am a slight stationary lover!
Now highlighters are a must for all the reading and photocopied sheets and notes you have to take down as a year 13 student. They really help to make the important parts jump out!
This handy gadget I got from the local supermarket is brilliant because it hold 4 colours and ensures that they do not take up room in your pencil case. It also makes them accessible without having to rummage for ages to find the right colour!
Ring binders are a life saver for me, simple ones from Tesco are perfect. They are not to expensive and really do the job I need them to do! Our college doesn't have work books so these really keep me organised an ensure that all my subject stay separate and in the right place! I have 6 one for each subject teacher :) I take notes on lined A4 paper and then file it all away into these.
Comfortable footwear is also a college essential, well for me anyway. I have two favourite pairs, my black boots simply from Tesco that really make an outfit with jeans or dress and my Dunlop canvas shoes that are comfortable for the casual look, I find the Converse brand really hurt my feet but these fit perfectly.
Also a big bag that will fit anything and everything in it, textbook upon textbook and of course your lunch! oh and keep a memory stick handy the amount of coursework on mine is crazy! It means I can do my work wherever I am :)
I hope this has given you some inspiration of how to change or update your college life! If you want any more advice or ideas comment below or tweet me www.twitter.com/caryj97
Good luck with your studies and remember I am doing them too!
Love, luck and ambition
