<p>db123 - THANK YOU. I’m a girl 
Hahaha - seriously, that is some intense and seriously helpful information, you have no idea how confused I’ve been. Living next to the equator isn’t exactly always ideal. And an umbrella is a must - always :P</p>
<p>shoebox10 - Thank you too I currently use a Jansport backpack which I’ll probably bring. I just stick my 15" macbook pro in a sleeve and lug it around my backpack - it’s worked fine and will hopefully do. If not, I’ll probably end up using a messenger bag or one of those big purses :)</p>
<p>Do you guys also have any advice for this question <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-virginia/724710-cellular-phone-time-management-tool-you-use.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-virginia/724710-cellular-phone-time-management-tool-you-use.html</a> ? I was also wondering about that.</p>
<p>Thank you all so much btw, you’ve all been amazingly helpful :)</p>
