What do students bring to survive their long days on campus?
By: Cassie Kraemer
Already used to the commuter lifestyle, I, Cassie Kraemer, second year sophomore, like to bring some extra cash on campus to buy coffee. I can’t go a day without drinking it, so my coffee mug is always in my hand. Gum is the after coffee snack I use, along with chap stick in my bag. While working for my double major in special education and elementary education, my pencil bag keeps me motivated to work hard for my dreams.
First year freshman, Grace Vogel spends her free time around campus reading! If she has a little lighter of a class load, she will find a spot on campus and read. While in class, Grace sets aside her laptop to enjoy an engaging class.
Getting used to the college lifestyle, first year freshman Henry Anderson uses the journal as his planner which keeps track of his assignments for the week. While up to date on today’s technology, Henry uses his wireless headphones to listen to music. Some students cannot listen to music while they study, however, Henry listens to mainly music with just instruments while he does his homework.
Sophomore Jake Hanus makes his calculator handy as he uses it for his macro economics class. While having two online classes this semester, Jake uses his laptop to type papers, do assignments, and keep on task with his classes. Going old school, Jake likes to take notes in his notebooks. He believes he can retain the information better by writing down his notes.
The 1980’s fad Scrunchies have made a comeback, and freshman Kaitlyn Sawatzke brings two scrunchies with her to class so she can put up her hair while she works on homework. She brings two with her just in case she loses one. After the crazy noon hour, Kaitlyn brings starbursts for something sweet after she eats lunch. Burt’s Bees is a popular, natural formula brand that Kaitlyn trusts and loves to use, especially in winter Kaitlyn uses her assignment notebook to help her remain caught up in her classes
While striving to finish his freshman year of college, Andrew De Tuncq gets through his day by listening to music. Andrew enjoys popular artists like Post Malone and The Weeknd. He can study hard while jamming out to some tunes with his headphones. If he’s in the noisy cafeteria, he will crank the music while enjoying his snack (if he remembers to bring one).
