Hanging out on the quad between or after classes on a sunny afternoon is just ~so college~ but it isn’t always that easy. It’s hot, bright, the ground might be wet and sometimes that class with the tribal drums makes an appearance. It can sometimes be difficult to enjoy, especially if you’re not prepared so be sure to bring these essentials with you.
1. Towel
It doesn’t have to be a big one, it just needs to be large enough for your butt to sit on. It’ll rid you of the stress of wondering if the grass is staining your pants.
2. Bluetooth speaker
2016 is a grand time to be alive. Bluetooth speakers and smaller & louder than ever before. You can totally fit one in your backpack.
3. Charged laptop
Plug it in the night before or during the class before you’re planning to quad it up. Homework is always better under the sun.
4. Sunglasses
Don’t you dare forget these precious darlings. They are life savers. No squinting for you.
5. The squad
Text your squad your location on the quad and how long you plan to be there. It’s fun to have friends drop in.
