My Essentials

Hey Guys

Long time no see.

I always planned to do an essentials post and the challenge finally motivated me to do it.

Not only was University online but I also take my notes digitally. This means that I dont have many study related essentials and the ones I have are mostly digital.

Surface

I bought the Microsoft surface pro 7 in April and I'm obsessed with this Laptop/Tablet Hybrid. I use it for everything. Zoom, taking notes, YouTube, Drawing etc. The surface is a very expensive product but it was definetly worth it.

One Note

I use the pre-installed OneNote App for note taking. At first I was using it until I find another App but I'm happy with how it works and I already used OneDrive and it just makes it easier to connect my digital notebooks with my cloud.

Planner

I still use a normal Planner instead of a digital one because I'm just used to it and its kinda comforting for me to write down stuff and use washi tape and stickers. I bring this with me basically everywhere I go.

I love comfy clothes and they've always been a must have for me. My professors dont really care about our wardrobe so I basically live in the following clothes.

Sweater

Sweaters are the most comfortable and useful piece of clothing in the world. I love buying, thrifting or stealing sweaters.

Oversized Shirts

If it's too hot for a sweater, which, thanks to global warming, it is almost all year around, I just wear a basic, oversized T-Shirt. Most Shirts I own are fandom related so I not only have cool stuff to wear but I also my favourite artists.

Sweatpants

I hate Jeans. I wear them when I need to but definetly not when i am at home so sweatpants are my go to pants when I'm at home.

The media I consummated during the last few month is mostly in german or at least my favourites are. If you speak german or are maybe learning the language I highly recommend the following YouTube channel/podcasts

YouTube

I discovered the channel through their recordings of pen and paper sessions and I quickly grew obsessed. It's a 24/7 online show (similar to a tv channel) so I can tune in whenever I'm bored and they have high quality gaming and media related content.

Podcasts

If I would have to name one thing I enjoyed the most during self isolation it would podcasts. I adore them and they provide excellent background noise for when I need to clean or when I'm on a walk.

TV-Show/Movie Podcasts

The "5 Minuten Harry Podcast" is, as the name suggests, a Harry Potter related Podcast and its easily the most hilarious thing in the world. The "Akte X Cast" is an X files themed cast and I listen to it because it is my favourite show.

True Crime Podcasts

The following true crime podcast are a mix of international and national cases, a serious and a more jokingly approach, cold case and solved murders and crimes that date back centuries and more recent ones. I enjoy basically everything that has a more darker topic.

Verbrechen der Vergangenheit

Menschen und Monster

Verbrechen

Puppies and Crime

Darfs ein bisserl Mord sein

Mord auf Ex

Mordlust

Verbrechen von Nebenan

5 Minuten vor dem Tod

News Podcast

Yes I know news are very depressing nowadays but I personally believe that being up to date with stuff that's going on in the world is essential.

Tagesschau

YouTube/Famous People Podcasts

There are just people that are incredibly funny and charismatic. I listen to these podcasts not because I like the topics but because I love the people and hearing people talk about everything and nothing can be quite soothing.

Pen and Paper

Living essentials are things for me that dont fit into another category but are things I do almost every day. For me that would be going on a walk. Fresh air and moving your body is healthy and you see something new everytime. It's even better when you have a walking buddy.

I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe it helped you finding new essentials or stuff to try out.

Stay safe and healthy.
