There are just some things in in our life we really cannot live without. May it be your favorite sport, hobby, and the likes. The same goes with Devcom students who in one way or another cannot function at their best without the things listed below.
Smartphone
Do you need to contact a primary source? Are you required to submit actual footage or documentations of an event, or maybe a record of an interview? What about a map to determine where to gather information? Well, here is the answer to such worries – smartphone it is! I cannot emphasize how essential is this as a Devcom student. Truly, good things come in small packages!
Powerbank
Having an extra battery life is a must. What’t the use of your smartphone if it ends up being dead in the middle of an interview? With a powerbank on hand, the life of our handy buddy can be stretched out to address the different needs we have in whatever situation.
Pen and Paper
Ideas literally pop up any time, any where. This classic duo is literally everyone’s buddy when it comes to jotting down lecture notes, random musings, new learning or even information found in streets! Every story starts with these two. As a Devcom student, it is important to be able to craft a story that is timely and worthy. Who knows maybe that one idea that just accidentally crossed your mind is your pot of gold?
Planner
Published stories doesn’t come in an instant. Behind the success of it are the many hours of preparation, research, and data gathering. A planner allows one to effectively maximize time not only doing academics but in also allotting time for events, interview, and visits to different institutions; necessary procedures in coming up with relevant and worth-sharing topics. You wouldn’t want to miss that interview or seminar that you’ve waited for eagerly!
Laptop
At the end of the day, a laptop is a Devcom student’s best friend – a witness to every process that each output undergoes before submission. All the drafting, editing, and research makes this tool a necessity. With its numerous features, it allows one to easily multitask and therefore provides convenience.
Along these things, a Devcom student must also have great amounts of perseverance, patience, and passion. Take note of these and you’re more than good to go!
