5 must haves

This week, I have been experiencing some writer's block, so this idea was stolen from my bestest friend Lulu.

In life, there are always things that you always have to have with you at every single moment of every single day.

Some of mine are pretty normal, while others, well, not so much.  So here goes it, my five must haves.

1.  Headphones

Headphones are great, well, in every way.  Music, videos, and everything else that have any audio are great when you're bored waiting for the bus or waiting for your physical therapy to start (a story for another time...).

The biggest plus is that you can use them to get rid of the annoying thoughts in your brain.  Blast some music in your ears and after a while, you start to feel better.

2.  Vaseline

I'm not completely sure about this, but I've heard that most lip balm companies put chemicals in your lip balm to make your lips feel more dry.  Effective marketing?  Probably.  Customer needs satisfied?  I think not.

I get dry lips and cracking lips a lot, and vaseline is my go to item because of it.  I really love not feeling a blistering pain every time you smile, so it's definitely a plus for me.

3. Extra Hair Ties

I HATE having my hair in my face for tests.  It's my pet peeve.  I generally find I get lower test scores because of it too.  Because of this, I always keep an extra hair tie on my wrist, for any moment I may need it.  So, to any of ya girls out there, or guys with long hair,  if ya need an extra hair tie, there's a good chance I'll have one for ya.

4. Calculator

Revealing the nerdy (very nerdy) side of me, I ALWAYS have a calculator on me.  Usually, it's a huge TI-84 graphing calculator, but it's at least the one on my phone.  I can math, but I'm bad at division–really bad.  So, my calculator is my needed friend.

5. Lotion

Kind of an extension from vaseline–my skin get's dry on a constant basis.  I always have a travel sized lotion in my backpack for those times that I can't stand it (and those I can too).  I love love love Bath and Body Works.  They've saved my skin more than once...
