𝟭. my notepad ( 📱 )

i take very messy notes, especially when the professor speaks fast and i have to write in a hurry. many note-taking apps allow you to record the teacher's voice, so you can listen back to the lesson when you reorganize your notes at home. the notepad allows me to write pages and pages without wasting paper.

𝟮. charger ( 🔌 )

i often spend 9 or 10 hours at university and i can't risk one of my devices running out of battery. with a charger always in my bag i never risk finding myself unable to use my phone or notepad.

𝟯. water bottle ( 🍶 )

it is important to stay hydrated during the day, especially if you spend a lot of time at university. i recommend always having a two-liter water bottle available, especially during long lessons that require concentration.

𝟰. snacks/lunch ( 🍲 )

preparing healthy meals for lunch improves not only your health, but also your productivity and concentration during lessons. having snacks high in phosphorus and magnesium to consume throughout the day will prevent you from consuming junk food from vending machines. ( + don't forget chewing gums !! )

𝟱. hygiene bag ( 🌷 )

i'll make a specific post for this.

𝟲. umbrella ( ☂️ )

i admit i'm terrible at this because I always forget my umbrella. i'm lucky enough to live near the university, so i walk there, but it becomes a real problem when it starts raining and i have to run home in the rain. so always carry a small pocket umbrella in your bag, i suggest it from experience.

𝟳. books ( 📚 )

it may seem strange but i don't use books at university. many of the lessons in architecture are practical and we do not follow specific textbooks for the theoretical lessons (the professors prefer to provide us with materials and use powerpoints), but it depends on the faculty you attend, your study method and the teaching method of your professor.

any interaction with the post will be appreciated !! ♡

Season of the witch

I’ve come back to my (almost) hometown. I'm working and preparing for my IELTS exam. I can't help but feel a bit stupid at times—if I can't even accomplish some simple tasks, how will I apply to and attend a university in Italy (if I get accepted)?

I know everything, but I’m good at nothing.

On top of that, I need to get one wisdom tooth removed and treat a few others.

But there have been some good moments too. As you may know, I love theatre, so I bought tickets to Swan Lake and The Taming of the Shrew. I also made a new friend. He's Italian but speaks Russian well. I don’t want to jinx it, but so far, he’s been very respectful, treating me purely as a friend, which I really appreciate.

[iriszocas]

Here comes a long post, but this is exactly what's in my bag (not for a day where I have lunch at school. For that I have like a small box with food and a fork).

This is the beginning, let's start with tech

-hard drive- drawing table-laptop -power bank- small camera- phone charger and obviously all the cables

I normally don't carry so many, but lately I have been cleaning out my tbr so quickly that might as well not risk not having stuff to read

Currently I'm reading violeta, daenerys story and Northangers abbey.

For notebooks, we have my agenda and planner, my drawing notebooks for both illustrations and animation. And 2 notebooks for class notes and story ideas.

A lot, and I mean a lot of pens and pencils.

We have came a long way in my opinion, so here is what's left

My emergency bag is another never ending bag with the small necessary things for every day survival. But here we have some medicine (I have allergies), perfume, some wet wipes, some snacks for me and the street cats, a small tissue and creams

And the rest that is left, all knick knack, wallet, bus pass, some post it notes, hand cream, thread for when is necessary to mend anything, hair ties, a small fan, my glasses, a pen drive (Sylvester), tape, eraser, pencil sharpener, lipstick and an extra bookmark.

I have learned that most of university is about trying to fit an infinite number of papers into a finite amount of bag.

[cloudy-caspirations]

Not really a serious post but here’s a silly back to school (stationery?) haul except im a woman in stem that got stuck with in-person late night classes/labs 😭😭.

Normally I wouldn’t be too worried, but I’ve heard some of the things the men in my major say about women and I’m not risking a bad encounter with them or the coyotes on campus when I have to walk half a mile back to my car 😵‍💫.

Also check out this goofy little “footnote” notepad I found while cleaning out my workspace 😭😭. I love it so much but I have no idea what I’m going to use it for yet–

[rotzaprachim]

the thing that's kind of infuriating rn is that my university's spanish class is pretty much useless - i know, I did it, I know that the teacher treats it as a semi retirement gig and barely assigns homework (a bad thing), doesn't do any conversation or reading, just translating sentences on the board - so i decided to devote the same amount of cash as a credit would take to italki and study more on my own, and now i'm way more advanced than any of the other students (i know because i went to her "most advanced" conversation circle and it was really awkward given they don't know what she didn't teach them etc) so I'm not hugeley motivated to take another class. but I don't get credits for that. i have to take her class for credits. even though she doesn't teach

This work week will suck so bad I'm dreading it so much

21. November 2024 :: cute lil new companion backpack on duty. It's only 10 liters but big enough to fit my tablet. Certainly not my laptop but I try not to carry around too many things anyway. I love this color so much and I already got one compliment on how tiny this thing is.

But as you can see, it fits:

Tablet, pencil pouch (not pictured but it would go on top), bullet journal, journal-journal, e-reader (tolino shine 4), water bottle, another -pouch. Not pictured, because it's in a different little pocket: wallet and phone a bit of room to spare.

Back To School Shopping List for A College Freshman Art Student

Hi guys I went to RISD a few years back but I do remember looking up this question. if you're not going to college just yet but are interested in art, it could be super useful to get comfortable using the tools/mediums below. even though i know most teachers give a materials list the first day, i needed to be prepared way ahead of time because of my anxiety. in my case, i was told id get a list in person, but walking in with an empty bag just felt wrong to me lol??? i ended up bringing a couple things, but missed a few vital essentials so here's a list of everything that i can think of. read to the end for my wagon epiphany that i think all art students should adopt (if they havent already)

-a notebook or planner (lined). some professors will hit you with extremely important info right away and wont always tell you to write down what they're saying but 90% of the time its important stuff you dont wanna miss

-a sketchbook. this can help if they throw a quick exercise at you and you have to write/draw something quickly. i blanked and didnt bring a sketchbook from home (because i was told id need to get certain types according to the teacher's specifications) but looking back idk why i didnt?? first days are hectic. actually the first week lol. anyways there were single sheets offered but honestly having your own right off the bat helps for organizational purposes, saves time, and IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, prevents the need to get up in front of everyone

-writing utensils. I'd recommend a nice pen and a set of drawing pencils (doesn't have to be anything crazy cause your teacher will most likely request that you buy more advanced/specific tools later on)

-headphones. every teacher is different, but usually art students will be given little tasks to work on during their first day in class at college. I was not clever enough to remember to pack my headphones, and the silence in a room full of focused art students can be especially unnerving when you're nervous. Hearing a student's questionable music taste can be equally unnerving, so make sure to pack those.

-snacks/drinks. this is kind of a branch off of the last one, cause again it can get sooooo quiet in these classrooms/studios. Pack snacks to prevent belly grumbles. I have heard it happen to many people in my classes and i am a victim as well. stay ready

-sunglasses. seems trivial but super important because you'll probably be walking around outside a lot your first day. this is the typical college commute, up down and around the streets.

-MONEY. I AM GOING TO PUT THIS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS WAS BY FAR MY BIGGEST MISTAKE LOL. UNFORTUNATELY, STAY STRAPPED WITH CASH OR CARD BCUZ! SOME OF THOSE ART SCHOOL PROFESSORS ARE A LIL BOUJEE AND WILL SEND U RIGHT TO THE CAMPUS ART STORE DAY ONE. It was very overwhelming for me, and some might think its common sense but idk my entire school career you always get some time after school to buy that stuff. they really sent us shopping ten minutes into class so be aware or look broke like i did.

Other than that, all the stuff you'll have to potentially purchase that day will be specified by the teacher. If you're worried about getting the wrong thing, don't be. The students get to go together and the teacher gives very specific details about the products to buy, which the campus store workers are well aware of. Off the top of my head, i remember being sent to get materials for a few different classes throughout the day. I'll list them here without the brand specifics (1. cause i dont know and 2. cause it may not match what your teacher will want anyway) just to give you a general idea.

-large ruler, metal, 1 yard (3 ft)

-clear plastic t-shaped ruler for drawing

-sketchbooks, drawing pads (of all sizes)

-a large portfolio (looks like a gigantic black totebag for big art papers)

-sewing kit

-string

-muslin fabric

-ink pens

-drawing pencils, different sizes

-drawing charcoal

-white paper drawing blender, a good eraser

-a toolbox for the drawing materials

-gouache paint

-brushes, pallets

-oil paint crayons

-a tool box

-ink pens like harry potter

That's pretty much it. If you'd like to grab some of these things before hand it should be fine, but for the most part id stick to waiting just to be safe.

Also a side note: I was a commuter so i could run home and grab my materials collected over my entire life but not every student is this lucky and some of their homes are thousands of miles away. if ur a traveling bird like them, it could be very VERY useful to pack some cool materials and tools like idk holographic paper or a jar of crystals because CAMPUS ART STORES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!

Also....... i know it sounds a little ridiculous but there were many many times i wished i had bought a wagon to transport things around campus. imagine me with a like 4ft portfolio bag the size of my body, a pencil toolbox, another toolbox for actual tools, my backpack, any projects i may have brought, a coffee if i am holding one??? and god forbid its a rainy day and i needed my umbrella lol.. it looks & feels difficult anyway trying to lug all the stuff art school requires.. so thats just some food for thought. Imagine a cute pink wagon?!??

anyways thats a wrap, have a lovely school year artists!

I have been getting lots of comments at uni over what's in my bag and I wondered if I should just expose myself over what's inside.

[thesleepypuffin]

Genuinely confused why college campuses don’t have more windows and aren’t more nap friendly but maybe that’s just my campus 😔

[averagelonelypotato]
