I also own a Surface Laptop for school. And since we use the Microsoft Office Suite for all coursework, a surface tablet would be the perfect addition to my Microsoft collection. It\u2019s very similar to note-taking on an iPad, without the hassle of converting Microsoft-compatible worksheets to IOS-compatible ones.<\/li>\n<li>An Apple Watch \u2013 Now, I know I just said this is a Microsoft campus, but I still do enjoy Apple technology for phones and lifestyle devices. But ever since I got to college, I have placed emphasis on staying in shape both on purpose and on accident. I have never walked more than when I am here, and I also use the Rec Center when I have the time. Having an Apple Watch to track my fitness and activity levels would add the icing to the cake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holiday season has arrived, and now that I&#8217;m away at college, everything I would want for Christmas revolves around my life here, so I figured I&#8217;d let everyone in on what I wish I had for my first year of college (that I do not already own).
