Textbooks
Water bottle
They might be heavy but
bringing your textbooks along
will save you from having to rely on
the information in the course materials,
which is often not as detailed.
Stay hydrated and boost your
brain power. Not drinking
enough water can lead to a loss of
concentration and fatigue, so top up
your water bottle regularly.
Laptop and
charger
Headphones
Whether you choose to chill out on the
bean bags or grab a desk in the quiet
zone, bringing your laptop along means
you can set up your own personal space
to focus. The Library also has a number
of computer labs for students to use if
you don’t have a laptop or you’re not
keen on lugging it all of the way there.
Coloured pens
and highlighters
If you focus better with music,
make sure you bring your headphones so you can be considerate
of your fellow studying students. If
you’re stuck for song ideas check out
USQ’s Spotify account, where we have
created playlists specifically designed to
help you study!
