Start school on August 29th and haven’t gotten my schedule yet so I haven’t put my backpack together but here is what I usually have in my back pack:
A-Day or B-Day binder
-notebooks
-TI-84 I think??
-mechanical pencils
-pocket mirror
-mini stapler
-belveta crackers in case I get hungry
-2 water bottles
-mascara for when I don't have time and just put it on the ride to school
-3 pairs of headphones
-extra hair bands
-listerine breath strips
-multiple eos lip balms
-extra socks
-hand sanitizer
-cash
-pens
-gum
-big red gum
-deodorant
-candy
aerie cozy up perfume because it's amazing!!
That's pretty much it
At this point, I just take my computer, a wad of scrunched up handouts, a calculator, and a pencil. Chances are good that on any given day I’ll forget one of the above items.
I’m not exactly the most organized person out there.
I am in NY, where school doesn’t start until September 8.(This is bad for AP courses because we have to do summer homework since the tests are in May for everyone).
Anyways, I will bring my binders to drop off in my locker, an assortment of writing implements, my TI-83 calculator, earbuds, a textbook, and some other miscellaneous items.
-5-Subject Notebook (for various subjects)
-3-Subject Notebook (for Latin, we take so much notes q.q)
-2 1-Subject Notebooks (most likely for AP Lang and APUSH)
-Lunch/Snack
-Pencils
-Scientific Calculator (I hope I don’t have to drop ~$100 on a graphing calc for pre-calc)
-Earbuds
-Phone (has planner app)
-Bag w/ Goggles, Towel, Swimsuit, Snorkel, etc. for Swim Team
-An Overwhelming Sense of Anxiety
@LeopardFire, I don’t think you’ll need a graphing calculator for Precalc, but idk about your school specifically. I found it helpful though, plus I would have needed one for AP Calc anyway. I totally agree with the overwhelming sense of anxiety - that was definitely me right before the first day of school.
@adiacs, I wouldn’t be able to do that. Then again, the only makeup I am competent of wearing decently well is eyeliner (the pen kind) and lip gloss. That’s it.
TI-84
Pencil case (pencils, highlighters, flare pens, eraser, highlighter, normal pens, whiteout)
Chromebook
5 Star flex notebinder (Using these for 5 yrs now. I use it like an organized take home folder)
Current book
Planner
Earbuds (Necessary. omg)
3 subject notebook
phone
small pouch with hair ties & period supplies
lunch (decided i’m done with school food this year lol.)
keys
water bottle (drink throughout the day. plus so my other bottle doesn’t get warm in my car before tennis practice.)
snacks! (late lunch again. 1:08 pm !!) also, gum.
wallet
small post-its for annotating books
No binders yet. I put everything in my notebinder until I have a test in a class. Then I’ll move the entire unit into a binder until the exam. That way, I don’t have to lug 1.5-4in binders around school and then home every day.
I will keep you all posted when school supplies list come, oh and by list, judging by my school, it will be more catalog, where everything is mandatory haha
I am going to be having in my backpack (I am a rising freshman.) :
-A backpack. (Sorry, I know that’s a silly thing to say…)
-2 binders
-Lots and lots of pencils!
-School gym clothes! (9th and 10th graders have to take P.E. in our school.)
-A pack of twist-able colored pencils.
-One or two books to read for fun.
-A map of my school.
-The bell schedule of my school.
-I created a checklist that I check off after completing things during the day, I will have that with me.
-A compass. (For Geometry Honors.)
-A TI-84 calculator.
-Pens.
-Highlighters.
-Paper clips.
-Post-it-notes.
-Possibly deodorant for P.E.???
-Agenda/planner. (Apparently, they are giving it to us on the first day of school.)
-Composition Notebooks
-My actual schedule.
and more things I may have forgotten to write on here! Yeah, my high school wants us to have a lot of things with us for some reason.
