It’s that time of year! September’s here, and many students are going back to school in person, after completing their classes online for the past year. Everyone’s excited to see their peers and get back in the classroom. It’s important for every student to know what tech essentials can make life easier during this busy and energetic time of year!
Portable Charger or Power Bank
This small device is a must-have in university, especially as most of us are going to be on campus for most of the day, up to five days a week! A power bank allows you to charge your phone no matter where you are, as long as you bring your charging cable with you. A portable charger will save your phone from dying during events and activities, and you won’t need to worry about managing your battery life for the rest of the day!
Rocketbook Everlast
If you are someone who likes taking hand-written notes but hates the clutter of multiple stacks of paper, plus the weight of multiple notebooks in your backpack, the Rocketbook Everlast notebook is for you! It’s one of the world’s smartest notebooks and can be used indefinitely, as the ink erases with a simple swipe of a wet cloth. The Rocketbook Everlast allows you to digitize your notes, and easily transfer them to anywhere you want (Email, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) If you’re someone who likes having digital notes, this product is exactly what you’re looking for.
Wireless Earbuds
There are going to be times during your school day when you are on a break waiting for your next class, or the bus back home. During these breaks, you are going to wish you had something small and efficient to listen to music or your favorite podcast (we recommend checking out The Wayne Jones Show on Youtube, Spotify, Soundcloud, and Apple Podcasts). A pair of wireless earbuds will come in handy whether you’re on your way to class or walking to another.
Bluetooth Speaker
If you are a student returning to live on campus, or your apartment/shared housing, a Bluetooth speaker is absolutely essential. Most often your smartphone or laptop does not emit as high of sound quality as a good Bluetooth speaker. This may become a problem during a party or get-together with friends. For this reason, we recommend that you invest in a good quality Bluetooth speaker for the upcoming school year!
Laptop with a Front Camera
Lastly, for all students out there leaving their families behind to go back to school, this tech essential is a must-have to connect with your loved ones. A laptop with a webcam will help you do that in times when you’re feeling a little bit homesick. Of course, we also recommend Facetime or any other video chat app if that’s easier for you!
