Non-School Backpack Essentials!

Believe it or not, backpacks are (or at least can be) used for much more than just basic textbooks, notebooks and general school supplies during the school day. Whether its a habit to use your backpack for more than just strictly school or not, here's a list to look at with helpful items! :)  

A planner. A planner's pretty much essential for a junior high, high school, or college age student. With the amount of school events, activities, homework and assignment due dates, and extra curriculars in a student's life, its necessary! If you don't have one already for this school year, make sure you get one-it will be really help organize your life and keep you on track for all daily and weekly events!
Headphones. If you're in a public place (or maybe on the bus ride to school) blocking noise best is to use headphones-so keep them in your backpack all the time so you never suffer for the lack of a pair! ;)
Snacks. This is kinda necessary in my case since I get really weak and faintish if I don't eat every few hours typically-but whether you're like that yourself or not, keep snacks handy in your backpack so you have an on-hand snack for whenever.
A book or magazine/s. If you get stuck somewhere in someplace (perhaps with no internet connection or with just nothing else to do) a book or magazine is great to have to read!
Extra makeup. Even if you don't freshen up your make-up through out the school day, have some spare lipstick, mascara and/or eyeliner (and whatever else you use if you wear makeup) in a small makeup bag handy for situations when it comes off or you need more. ;)

Well, that's a short list of some things that can be very helpful for you to keep in your backpack! Hope these (and any other items you can think of) will help you stay fully supplied with items in your backpack all day, every day, when you need them. =)
