hey guys — in this video I’m finally doing a proper “what’s in my backpack” for back to school, and I’m showing you everything I carry as a syd highschool student who’s juggling study + content creation. I go through my new bag (the NayoSmart Herman Pro) and why it’s such a game changer compared to my old basic backpack that just got bulky and heavy because I’d chuck everything in. this one has really thought-out compartments, a magnetic buckle, side access, a padded laptop sleeve, and it’s waterproof — which is honestly a lifesaver in winter when it’s raining like crazy. I also break down my actual workflow essentials: my 2020 M1 MacBook Air for study and editing, the Mirror productivity browser (multiple sessions + saved tabs + notes + ad blocker), and my reminders widget setup for quick to-dos on the go. for studying at the library, I use a UPERFECT portable monitor so I can split screens for notes/practice papers (and even preview my edits). then I show my “vlogger pouch” setup with an SD card reader + Samsung T7 Shield SSD because my laptop storage is always fighting for its life. and of course, stationery: my Muji pencil case, Muji pens (flowy + consistent ink for exams), two Casio calculators (degrees + radians), post-its for math/english, my highlighter colour system, and whiteboard markers because I’m big on teaching my notes out loud. I finish with the real-life essentials like noise-cancelling headphones, an umbrella, and a mini tripod.
