Many young women do not know how to pack a school bag and what to put in a bag. If you are one of them, follow the instructions in this article.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Filling Bags with Study Supplies
Step 1. Find the most appropriate school bag
Choose a bag that is the right size for your needs and made of strong material so that it can hold all your books and school supplies, but doesn't tear or strain your back and shoulders.
Step 2. Insert the textbook
Textbooks should be included first so as not to overlap smaller objects. If you're packing your bags for the first day of a new semester, bring a notebook or agenda with you, unless it's already available at school. Bring books according to the class schedule so that the bag is not too heavy. You may keep 1 empty book in the locker (if there is a locker for students).
- Arrange the books in the bag in the order of the day's lesson. Before going to school, make it a habit to check books at least 2 times so you don't miss anything!
- Also include orders, task sheets, agendas, notebooks, and test papers.
Step 3. Insert the pencil case
Do not carry pens in your pocket. Be a neat student and put the following tools in the pencil case:
-
Pencils and pens for writing etc.
- Colored pencils and crayons for drawing. This equipment may no longer be needed if you are 16 years old.
-
Geometry tools, for example: ruler, eraser, pencil sharpener, compass, and ruler for drawing various planes.
-
Self-adhesive paper for note-taking.
-
Calculator.
-
Markers to mark important things.
Step 4. Bring any tape, scissors, glue, and stapler you may need to keep things tidy
Step 5. Put your gym clothes in your bag if you have gym lessons
Method 2 of 3: Anticipating an Emergency
Step 1. Bring the equipment your young women need in case of an emergency, for example:
- Spare sanitary napkins (just in case)
- Cosmetics: mascara, eyeliner, lip balm, powder, mini mirror, lotion, facial oil absorbent paper
- Hygiene products: spray deodorant, perfume, hand sanitizer
- Hairbrushes, clips and hair bands
- Tissue or handkerchief
- Chewing gum/min (if allowed by the school)
Method 3 of 3: Bring Personal Equipment
Step 1. Enter personal equipment if space is available:
- Key
- Cell phones (if allowed by the school)
- iPod or MP3 player and headphones ! (if allowed by the school)
- Chewing gum or breath freshener (if allowed by the school)
- Small folding umbrella (in case it rains)
- Glasses
- Mobile charger or portable charger
- Lunch or pocket money
- Other necessities while you are at school
Tips
- Load paper containing important information in a folder or binder to prevent it from being wrinkled. Arrange books neatly in the bag. Hold on to some books if your bag is too heavy.
- Choose a bag that is large enough with several pockets to store all your essentials. Do not put things that are not needed so that the bag is not too full.
- Have a tissue or handkerchief ready in case you sneeze so you don't have to cover your face with your hands, use a shirt collar, or wait until class is over. Don't forget to bring wet wipes just in case.
- In order not to rush when getting ready for school in the morning, put all the study supplies you need from the evening. Don't forget to set aside a place in your bag to bring your lunch (if you bring it to school).
- Make sure you are allowed to bring certain objects to school, for example: cell phones or other electronic devices.
- Put your phone, hand sanitizer, and chewing gum in your pocket for easier retrieving.
- Clean the bag regularly and throw away anything that is no longer needed.
- If there is a locker at school, keep sports clothes and textbooks in the locker. During class changes, go to the locker to pick up the necessary books. If you don't have your own locker, ask a friend if you can leave a book in their locker.
- Prepare a small bag to store cosmetics so as not to mix with school supplies. Bring a small bag to class to store cell phones, earphones, money, etc.
- If you don't have a pocket in your shirt, keep your phone and/or digital music player in a small (hidden) pocket in your bag. Neatly wind up charging cables or earphones to save space. If needed, bring a small book of daily prayers as a source of inspiration.
- Make sure your phone is fully charged before leaving for school in case of an emergency. Bring a charger so your phone can still be used.
Warning
- If you bring money to school, keep it in a safe place, such as in a pocket in your bag where no one knows.
- Put personal equipment, for example: sanitary napkins in a closed bag so you don't see it when your bag is open.
- Get in the habit of closing the bag again after taking things.
- Don't let anyone see what's in your bag, except for a family member or close friend.
- Don't ask other people to get things out of your bag!
- Make sure your parents allow you to bring expensive items to school.
- If the school doesn't allow students to bring cell phones or chewing gum, don't risk it!
