Top 10 lecture essentials!

Well as I start to get back into the usual uni routine I begin to remember all those challenges I faced.  Staying awake being the most daunting and recurring, however I have noticed that one year on the lectures get more exciting and I seem to need a lot more sleep!  So, whilst thinking about what to take to keep me bushy tailed throughout the day, the ThereSheGoes Top 10 lecture essentials list emerged!

1.So to start us off, A good night's sleep!  Now this is boring!  So freshers must ignore this since first year (sometimes) doesn't count and the lectures are easier to catch up on :3
2. For those of us who love surfing youtube until late in the pm, there's my uber fave on the list - coffee!  Take a flask with you and get a regulated hit of caffeine throughout your lectures.
3. Especially for the summer months, a water bottle.  Those lecture theaters can get kinda hot and sweaty with all those people and all that *ahem* brain power!  Keep hydrated and cool by popping it in the freezer when you wake up and grabbing it before you go (yes, i've forgotten my water bottle so many times from doing this!)
4. sweaty lecture theater's brings me onto number 4 - deodorant!  I am the unfortunate breed of people who sweat if I so much as stand up.  My face goes bright red and it makes wearing my hair down a faff! (any tips on taming hair?)  So deodorant keeps me fresh
5. Speaking of sweating, a film of perspiration on the forehead makes for good film montages where our genius is so perplexed by a problem, however I prefer dewy and bright so I always (always) always keep a pot of 'Bare Escentials Mineral Veil' plus brush in a special make up bag.  So easy to just whip out and buff on!
6. On especially long days I also take a spare vest top! (I know what you're thinking - is it like the desert in my uni?)  Well for those who have to travel by underground trains will know all about desert-heat already.
7. A piece of fruit, my particular favourites are an orange or a kiwi.  These are sweet to snack on and keeps you from raiding the vending machines between lectures!
8.  My notebooks, but this is kind of obvious :P  You are at uni to study after all!
9. My umbrella.  Simple black one which goes with anything, especially when it's not cold enough to be wearing a raincoat.
10. A smaller bag to keep all my life essentials in - like IDs and phone, keys etc.  This means they aren't all rattling around in my bag and I know exactly where to find them: keeping panics to a minimum!

So this is how I like to weigh down my bag, anyone else got some sweet tips?
