Top 3 "Must Haves" for Your Everyday College Life

Burton Backpack, Student

1) Backpack: You don't need to spend a ton to get a well made backpack for school. Burton's Tinder 2.0 ($70) was my college bag of choice, and it's still holding up years later. It has a 15 inch laptop sleeve with a side opener for easy access and a cinch close top. There is enough room for bulky textbooks in the main compartment. My biggest gripe is the lack of a water bottle pocket. This bag is made from waxed canvas and can handle years of abuse.

Apple Airpod Pros

2) Earbuds: If you prefer buds to over-ears, try Apple's Airpod Pros. They're our favorite wireless earbuds for most people, with a great $225 price, a comfortable fit, and Apple Siri support. They pair well with your smartphone and can be charged through the case.

Hydrojug Waterbottle

3) Water Bottle: You need good, reusable bottles to stay hydrated between classes. Hydrojug ($10) makes our favorite bottle to carry around. With a large capacity at a cheap price, it should last you all day of classes without breaking the bank.
