If there's one thing a college student should always keep with them, it's a USB drive.

These little drives plug into your computer and allow you to transfer large files from one computer to the next.

This comes in handy when you have giant projects to print at the computer lab, or if you need to bring your homework to class.

Another cool thing about USB drives is that you can pick them up really cheap at places like Target (for less than $7) and use them to store your resume and portfolio on. When you go on internships interviews, instead of giving the company a "leave-behind portfolio," just hand them a neatly packaged USB drive filled to the brim with all the relevant pieces you showed them in your personal portfolio.
