Inside the Backpack of a Graduate Student | Essential Items

Yo, I am Caden Howlett, a first-year PhD student studying geoscience at the University of Arizona. Here are some essential items I carry during a normal day as a graduate student, all of which have helped me maximize productivity and maintain my sanity (for the most part).
Check out my IG (@cadenhowlett). There, I share short essays on topics in philosophy, astronomy, and general science.

Love it! I've always liked simple, practical items in my backpack until I started watching some aesthetic "what's in my backpack" videos on TikTok and RUclips 😂 Then I started over-shopping those items and now I'm pretty overloaded with my backpack. Your video makes me remember what I really need and want. I would still use the aesthetic items I bought until it was no longer usable, but then I would go back to the simple, practical items that I used to use before. Thank you for a lovely video!

Love how genuine this is. Im all in for sleek wallets and cord earphones, but no longer carry a hard drive around since I store my stuff mostly on onedrive now. And cord mouse forever! I hate batteries dying on me lol

Yeah true it's crazy how fast things get outdated lolol. I mostly use OneDrive as well, although I am perpetually (and perhaps irrationally) afraid that it is going to someday lose all my work haha. I don't know if I've ever replaced the batteries in my mouse haha I must've gotten lucky. I also used a cord mouse for years and years.
