Bear Down 101
Three weeks into the semester and our Wildcats are getting into the swing of it! With the excitement from move-ins to attending in-person classes and upcoming social events, your Wildcat may find themselves trying to balance it all. Though a new semester seems daunting, there is no need to worry as the University of Arizona BookStores is here to help them Bear Down! As I enter my fourth year at UArizona, I want to share how the BookStores has supported me through my college journey and equipped me with the tools to balance a successful college life!
To prepare for a new semester, a trip to the BookStores is always a must! Some back-to-school essentials I get every semester include a planner, notebooks , folders , pens, and pencils - necessary supplies every Wildcat should carry in their backpack! If your Wildcat is enrolled in online courses, the Online Essentials Bundle provides all their Zoom class supplies in a single package. Not to mention, the BookStores is an authorized Apple Campus Store and has an award winning Computer Service Center. So whether your Wildcat is looking for a new MacBook or needs to service their technology, our Technology Service Center is available to help them out!
Readjusting to in-person classes has become easier with the mask distribution provided at the BookStores! To ensure the safety of UArizona students, the BookStores provides two free masks to all students on campus this fall. Your Wildcat can pick up their masks and thermometer when they visit any of the BookStores’ locations with their Catcard. Additionally, if your student completes COVID-19 testing once a week until September 24th, they earn a $5 Star Reward on their Catcard after each test, which can be redeemed at the BookStores!
Not only does the BookStores have school essentials, but they also have game day essentials! Cheering on the Cats means gearing up head to toe in merch. My game day essentials include a top and bottom from Hype & Vice and comfortable shoes to stand in all night, like the new Nike Pegasus 38 sneakers. Game days feel like a reward after a long week of working hard!
The beginning of new semester comes with new responsibilities, excitement, and the question of how to balance it all. Your Wildcat is never alone in their journey as the BookStores is a one-stop-shop that provides them with the tools they need to have a happy and successful college experience. Bear Down!
