Back to School/College/University - Emergency Bag

With Back To School season upon us, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you some tips and tricks I've learned from starting University and ideas I've picked up from sites such as: Pinterest and lifestyle blogs. This post will be the first of a new "Back To School" series, were I will write about tips and tricks for the first day back, things you might want to take with you and keep at school/college/university for emergencies and finally study tips.

For this post, I will be talking about an emergency bag that you can take with you on your first day back and either leave in your locker, or personal drawer, as I know some colleges have those, or even just to keep in your bag. I know that this is a great idea for people like myself, who are super organised and whether or not you use it, you may become that lifesaving friend who has something that a friend may need!

Each Emergency Bag will be tailored to each individual person, however this is just a general idea of you will/may need to put in your bag.

Items include:

- A small bag, such as a make up/wash bag
- Sanitary Pads/Tampons
- Feminine Wipes
- Spare Pants (Just in case)
- Deodorant (Especially after P.E)
- Hair Brush
- Hair Ties/Bobbles
- Bobby Pins/Hair Grips/Large Hair Clip
- Pain Killers/Ibuprofen (Check if you're allowed to carry medication)
- A small first aid kit (Plasters/Tape/Antiseptic Wipes)
- Nail File (For those horrid broken nails)
- Shine absorbing sheets






Other things that you can add to your bag could be:

- Hand sanitiser 
- A snack (Granola Bar/Breakfast Bar)
- Lip Balm (Especially for winter)
- Gum/Mints
- Toothbrush/Toothpaste (Handy for people with braces)

While others may choose not to do this, you'll be happy to know you've got things to hand if something does happen, i.e: Mother Nature comes for an unexpected visit, or you're just having a bad hair day.
