Students’ Favourite Gadgets for our Daily life

School is straight-up WILD right now 😂 You’re running to class, drowning in homework, and still trying to have a life. But some gadgets are legit lifesavers and make everything 100× better. Here’s the real stuff I (and basically everyone I know) can’t survive without:

Laptop

Dude, this is your whole universe. Writing essays, Zoom calls, watching lecture recordings at 2 a.m., and yes… sneaking an episode of whatever show you’re obsessed with when you’re “taking a break.” Get one that’s light (my back hurts just thinking about heavy ones) and the battery has to last all day or you’re toast.

Quick Comparison & Brands:

Phone

Obviously. It’s glued to my hand 24/7. I take pics of the board when the teacher talks too fast, set 700 reminders so I don’t forget stuff, Venmo my friend for snacks, whatever. If my phone died I’d probably forget how to function.

Noise-canceling headphones

These things are MAGIC. My roommate never shuts up and the dorm hallway sounds like a zoo. Pop these on and poof, peace and quiet. I can actually focus on homework or just blast music and pretend the world doesn’t exist. Wireless ones = no getting tangled when I’m pacing around cramming for a test.

If you want the ones that make the world actually shut up:

The boujee besties: Sony WH-1000XM5 (or the XM4 if you find it cheaper) and Bose QuietComfort. these are the “my parents paid” or “i saved up all summer” ones 😂 they’re legit insane, like you can’t hear a fire alarm with them on (don’t test that). Usually $300-$400 but you’ll never take them off.

The “i’m a broke student but i still need silence” squad: Anker Soundcore (the Q30 or Q35 ones) and pretty much anything JBL. Bro, these are $50-$90 and still cancel noise like crazy?? My friend got the Anker ones for $60 on Prime Day, and she says they’re basically the same as her brother’s $350 Sonys. i’m not even kidding. snatch them when black friday hits because they drop even lower.

Power bank

low battery anxiety is REAL. I keep a little power bank in my backpack and it’s saved me so many times. Phone dying in the middle of the day? Plug it in and keep scrolling… I mean studying.

Tablet

Okay, I’m obsessed. I got one with the pen and now I write notes like it’s actual paper, doodle in class, highlight readings without killing trees, all that. Way lighter than my laptop and perfect for reading in bed when my eyes are too tired for the big screen.

Smartwatch

it’s like a tiny mom on my wrist. “Hey you’ve been sitting for two hours, go touch grass.” It also buzzes for texts so I can peek without getting busted pulling my phone out in class. Plus it tells me I only got four hours of sleep and I’m like yeah… I know 😅

Bluetooth speaker

Bluetooth speaker for when the homework is finally done and it’s time to actually live. Me and my friends throw it on the desk, blast music, have dance parties in pajamas, best feeling ever.

Real talk, none of this stuff is just “fancy toys.” They actually stop me from losing my mind every single day.
