When the weather’s too good to waste indoors, the quad becomes your library. Studying outside = instant mood boost. But to avoid grass stains, dead laptop batteries, and dehydration, you’ll want to pack a few essentials.
Here’s our Dormie-approved checklist for the perfect outdoor study session:
🧺 Start with a foldable picnic blanket
Waterproof + portable = no grass stains on your notes. These options roll up easily so you can throw them in your tote on the way to class.

💻 Bring a lap desk
Studying on your knees? Not the vibe. A lap desk keeps your laptop steady and comfortable, whether you’re typing or highlighting PDFs in the sun.

💧 Don’t forget your emotional support water bottle
Outdoor studying = direct sun = you’ll get thirsty way faster than you think. Stay hydrated and cute with a tumbler or bottle that you’ll actually want to carry around.

✨ With these quad-ready essentials, you can soak up the sunshine and stay productive. Consider this your reminder to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.
