Really cute! I tend to carry huge bags,but I need thicker straps because thin ones dig into my shoulder lol.

So far my list includes: new laptop, watch, IPad (already own one), giant tote bag,portable iPhone/iPad charger, laminator. I have a few friends already in programs so I picked their brains and one did purchase a laminator on Black Friday! That's all for now...I'm sure I'll add to the list soon. I think I may also purchase this travel mug just because it is hysterical... http://www.cafepress.com/+ceramic_travel_mug,743417850

Really? That was my initial question! I feel like in the long-run, both academically and career-wise, it makes sense for me to purchase my own.

 

Do you have any recommendations about types/brands?

They didn't specify brand,but I saw pretty affordable ones on Walmart.com!

So I just left Target and went a little crazy in the $1 section. I spoke to a friend already in grad school before purchasing anything and she said go for it haha! I picked up dinosaur figures, a few wooden cars, stickers, and card games for a buck each.
