  • School Supplies you really need for college, not random unnecessary things you're suckered into buying and never using. No matter what university you go to, most school supplies are pretty much the same.

    "You don't need a planner" hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Yes you do

      Tanya Klein use your phone! It works the same way. Just don't write on it.

      @TanyaKlein29 Před 7 lety +40

      I don't think y'all are undertanding the planner community is growing rapidly and I can't just use my phone. I need to see everything laid out in front of me in a planner.

      No you don't. I don't own a planner or a diary or stuff like that and I did well in college. Some people may have a habit to use it and no offence to them, but all I'm saying is you can keep up with your work without a planner

  • @jordandiehm8605
    @jordandiehm8605 Před 7 lety +37

    My planner and my laptop are my two most needed items. Plus quality pens and pencils and erasers. And white out because i make so many writing mistakes taking notes in pen lololol.

    Any laptop with office suite (if you cannot afford one, library use!). Google docs. One notebook per course (may or may not need each) a minimum 70 pages each. Folder per course (basic one). Binder for professional classes (example being education prep courses). Pens, pencils, high lighters. Flags and yellow stickies. A good (ie roomie) backback. You DO NOT need tech stuff unless it pertains to your major. Stapler and hole punch (those can also be found in tech centers). You'll figure out some of these things are needed, others are not... as you progress. Education majors don't need filming equipment, etc. you will find you need binders, a ton.

    A printer is a life saver

    • @katiegolan980
      @katiegolan980  Před 7 lety +18

      I actually just used the printers at my school's library and found that to be easier than keeping a bulky printer in my dorm, but I can totally see the convenience of having one.

    • @meldresser6380
      @meldresser6380 Před 7 lety

      Yeah, printing one sheet of paper was $0.25 for black and white one sided, $0.40 double sided or one side colour, and $0.70 for two sided colour

    • @meldresser6380
      @meldresser6380 Před 7 lety +1

      Printer is a necessity at these costs, printer cost $60 used and the ink wasn't that expensive.

    Idk if you're doing it on purpose, but I really love that you annunciate your speech. Some youtubers mumble or talk super duper fast that I can't understand, but it's so easy to understand what you're saying!

    Music performance major, no math but still needed a calculator for acoustics :P (math is always somewhere even if it's hidden)

    • @katiegolan980
      @katiegolan980  Před 7 lety +1

      Why must they do that to us? :(

    • @MaytePicks
      @MaytePicks Před 7 lety +1

      some physics where you learn about wave length, frequency, speed of sound and stuff like that (that's where the math comes in but if you memorize the formulas you're good) and some psychoacoustics where you learn the physiology of the human ear and how it works with the brain to create your perception of sound, and how that sound affects you
      the curriculum may vary a bit depending on what school you go to though

    Pro-tip...if you are left handed in a lecture hall, you can sit in a right handed desk, then use the right handed desk yo your left as a surface to write on, if you don't want to use your lap, or twist yourself to the right handed desk to write on.

    • @katiegolan980
      @katiegolan980  Před 7 lety +1

      I'm glad the video was helpful :) I think it can be hard for anyone to start college, whether you're shy or not. For me it was about finding people I had something in common with, so I made friends once I joined a club, and I made friends talking to people in my classes.

  • @kimberlyjade8080
    @kimberlyjade8080 Před 6 lety

    All my supplies for the upcoming Freshman year:
    Good (not expensive) backpack and Laptop case
    Laptop
    Graphing Calculator leftover from my calc. class in high school
    5 college rule composition notebooks, 1 for each subject (I prefer comp. over spiral)
    2 pronged folders
    Stapler and Staples
    3 hole punch
    Old printer from home (no more than 3 or 4yrs old, with WiFi capabilities)
    Scissors (I'm always needing them around the house so I thought to bring a pair jic)
    A few packets of loose College Ruled paper and copy paper
    Small whiteboard w/ white erase markers (I'm very forgetful)
    Planner
    A few sketchbooks of varying sizes (art major)
    Art supplies
    A couple packs of mechanical pencils bc I run through them quick
    A few heavy duty mechanical pencils with extra erasers and lead
    Some reg. wooden pencils
    A good pencil sharpener (for art supplies)
    A couple larger white erasers
    Pencil case
    Red, Blue, and Black pens
    Pink, green, orange, and blue highlighter (a bit OCD about organization)
    Post it notes
    Stickies
    Index Cards
    That's about 99% of my "school supplies". I definitely didn't want to go overboard, but I want to be prepared enough so that I'm not panicking. All my supplies neatly take up a small tub, about 1x1 1/2x1 ft in dimension (1 ft wide, 1 1/2 ft long, and 1 ft tall)

    i never really seen point of binders they are too hard to organise for me haha also i really find it interesting that you use pencils for tests where we can only use pens

    • @katiegolan980
      @katiegolan980  Před 7 lety

      Yeah, I'm not a fan of binders. That is interesting, anytime we have a test on a scantron we have to use pencil.

    I start community college in like a week. Any tips for a homeschooler who has never been in a classroom setting?

    • @katiegolan980
      @katiegolan980  Před 6 lety +4

      I would say, it's always good to try to make friends with the person you sit next to, so at the very least you can have each other's numbers in case you miss class and need to know what you missed. And also it's easy to get distracted in a classroom if people near you talk a lot, so watch out for that. And if you can, always look engaged with what the professor is talking about. They notice students who zone out verses those who pay attention and that can help you if you ever need them to bump your grade or give you a recommendation or something.

  • @victoriafreda5677
    @victoriafreda5677 Před 6 lety

    I supposed half of these depend on ur course..I study marketing and I had to get two massive binders for each semester. (And forget about that 5 subject notebook as it lasted me for just over a month and then simply just got a refill pad 🤷🏻‍♀️😂).I had a usb stick but found it quicker (or just lost the sick half the time) to just emailed stuff to myself. And life in college without a planner? Unless u are able to remember all the due dates and actives well then u might get going without it 😂 staplers etc are usually found in library’s (at least at my college) too!

    Hi katia
    I like your video and I like the fact that you give great information on what you need for college. I would say it's good to have folders for each subject you take in college just to keep more organized other than that great job your video on

      Google drive can definitely be useful, but for some of my classes it was required for me to have a hard drive. Plus, it's just easier to me than using Google drive, but whatever you like is what you should use!

    • @katiegolan980
      @katiegolan980  Před 7 lety +3

      I had to write a fair amount. I couldn't say exactly how many essays I had to write, but probably around 15 my freshman year, not counting one of my classes where I had to write at least one essay every week, but that was an unusually hard class.

    • @katiegolan980
      @katiegolan980  Před 6 lety +1

      That would really depend on your major and your preference. If you hate typing on iPads then that wouldn't be too fun going through college typing all your papers on your iPad. Or if you want to take notes in class on it. It's entirely up to you. Anyone I ever see who uses an iPad as a laptop substitute has one of those keyboards that connects to it.
