It’s about that time to head back to campus and attack those classes. You’re probably going to need some things to stay connected, keep organized, and stay in the now.

Check out my list of the top gadgets for school.

-    Belkin Mini Surge Protector/Dual USB Charger – charge up to 3 standard devices and 2 USB devices with just 1 outlet. This is great for libraries and classrooms with limited plug availability.

-    iPhone 3GS or iTouch. Having WiFi capabilities means constant web access all over your campus. Got down time? The gaming capabilities with these are also amazing.

-    MSI Wind Netbook – need an affordable computer? You can grab this netbook for under $300, and that’s amazing. Did I mention it’s one of the only netbooks on the market that can run Mac OS?

-    Crazy alarm clock – I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person around that can sleep through anything. Grab an alarm clock like this one and you won’t have any problems waking up in time for class.

-    Noise canceling headphones – These are great for studying in less than quiet places. You don’t even have to be listening to music to block out the sounds of your annoying roommate. Everyone raves about Bose headphones, but you can grab some JBL’s that are very similar and will save you tons of cash.

-    Flip Camera – pocket friendly and always ready to go when you catch something more people need to see.

Now that we’ve covered all the electronic goodies, here are a few other things you’re going to want to grab.

-    Trapper Keeper – I’m not talking about anything new here, straight up old school is the way to stay organized. You’ll probably have to pay a pretty penny for an awesome one on ebay, but it’s totally worth it.

Cool factor 5!

-    Inflatable beer pong set – Grab one of these for pool parties on the weekend. @DrinkingStuff on Twitter gave me one for free! How sweet is that!

-    Last but not least… a Koozie – no need for warm goods.
