Nobody wants to have a bad day at school. There are many things that can set you off on the wrong foot, such as having a bad smell or untidy hair. This article will teach you how to organize a survival kit to prevent these problems from ruining your day, even when you are on your period.
Steps
Step 1. Get a nice clutch bag, large enough to hold everything you need
If you want, you can add another pouch, to keep sanitary pads and intimate wipes.
Step 2. Lip balm / lip gloss:
you never know when you might need it! Lips need to be refreshed every two hours.
Step 3. Deodorant
If you don't want to smell bad after going to the gym or after running in the hallway to avoid being late for class, you should have a product to freshen up.
Step 4. Make up
You need products to do touch-ups in case your face make-up is damaged or if a pimple appears suddenly. The kit should contain a mascara, a blush, a gloss, a lipstick, an eyeshadow and a concealer. However, wearing makeup isn't all that important. Put the bare minimum in the clutch, and only if you have enough space.
Step 5. Lotion
Don't you feel irritated when your hands and face start pulling, especially in winter?
Step 6. Hand sanitizer
Have you touched a chewing gum stuck under the counter and the professor won't let you go to the bathroom? Get the hand sanitizer. Schools are a breeding ground for germs.
Step 7. Toothbrush and toothpaste
You'll want to have clean teeth and fresh breath after lunch.
Step 8. Mouthwash:
will help you have even fresher breath!
Step 9. Soap
If the school bathrooms don't have one, bring your own. You can pour it into an empty hand sanitizer bottle, or you can use cleaning wipes or a mini stick of soap, which you can store in a soap dish.
Step 10. Gum or mints
If you don't have fresh breath, chew gum or mint (some schools prohibit chewing gum, so choose a hard candy in this case). Just remember to brush your teeth every day.
Step 11. Absorbents external or internal
You may get your period unexpectedly. It's a good idea to keep a pack of tampons or pads in your backpack, perhaps keep them in a separate sachet.
Step 12. Perfume:
you must smell good at school!
Step 13. Paper tissues
Sooner or later you will have to blow your nose because it is runny and it may cause you some embarrassment to ask a classmate or teacher for a handkerchief. Why not put a pack in your backpack?
Step 14. Mattifying tissues
If you notice that your face is permanently oily, they are really indispensable.
Step 15. Extra pencil or pen:
you may lose one!
Step 16. Extra money
If you are hungry, you will need it to buy a snack.
Step 17. Mobile
Do you receive phone calls from your boyfriend or family? Do you need a map? If your phone has internet, you will practically have a mini computer at your fingertips and can read the news. Make sure you are allowed to use it at school and don't get it stolen.
Step 18. Agenda
Should an emergency arise and you don't have access to your cell phone, you can take it from your backpack and quickly find all the numbers you need. You could also write them down in a notebook.
Step 19. Mini First Aid Kit
It happens to all girls to fall and peel an elbow or knee. Having this kit comes in handy. It should include patches, cotton balls, safety pins, any medications you take, instant ice packs, and isopropyl alcohol.

Step 20. Painkillers:
aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen help you relieve cramps and headaches. Consult a doctor or school nurse if you are unsure about a drug.
Step 21. Sunglasses:
protect the eyes.
Step 22. Hair ties and bobby pins:
you will need them for physical education or when you just want to collect your hair.
Step 23. Mini hairspray to keep hair tidy
Step 24. Bottle of water to hydrate yourself
Step 25. Small snack
Are you tired of spending money at the bar? Stock up on cereal bars at the grocery store and take one with you a day.
Step 26. Portfolio
It should contain money, the various cards you need at school or in shops, and so on. Also after school you could go for a bite to eat with your friends.
Step 27. An extra link (optional):
you may get wet or stain the one you wear.
Step 28. Camera to capture memorable moments
Bring a disposable one if you don't want to take any chances.
Step 29. Sunscreen
Take care of your skin! Apply in the summer and whenever you spend a lot of time outdoors. Get a travel-sized bottle.
Step 30. Mirror:
you will need it to touch up your makeup and it comes in handy because you won't have to go to the bathroom all the time.
Step 31. Diary:
you will need it to jot down commitments and other notes. Tie a pencil or pen to it so you can write as soon as you need to.
Step 32. Nail file
Step 33. Replacement Underwear:
you never know!
34 Hairbrush:
you will need to untangle them, and this will happen often.

Advice
- If you put items you don't want others to see, put them in a hidden compartment.
- Bring only what is necessary.
- If you want to take everything on the list with you, you should buy travel or mini size products: you will save a lot of space!
- Pack the internal or external pads in a smaller pouch, which you can put in the larger one, where you keep the rest of your kit.
- Buy what you need in a shop that sells everything for one euro to save.
- Try to put everything you need in a small clutch bag.
- Buy what you need in time.
- The pouch you use for the survival kit must be different from the case where you keep pens and pencils, so you won't get confused.
Warnings
- Don't buy large products, or nothing will fit in the pouch.
- If you are going to store the clutch under the counter, put it behind other things or hide it so your nosy classmate won't find it.
- Don't overdo the perfume. Some people experience horrible migraines after just smelling one.
- Some schools prohibit certain items, so don't put them in your backpack (e.g. chewing gum, cell phone, medicines, etc.).
- Do not leave the clutch unattended, otherwise they could steal something.
