New to biking - looking for advice on essential extras

Hi,

I just purchased a bike a couple weeks ago - a 2015 GT Transeo 2.0 hybrid - and have started using it to commute mainly to and from work.

So far I'm loving it. Biking takes me a little longer but I feel more energized throughout the day at work and riding home is a welcome stress reliever.

When I purchased my bike, I picked up some lights (front and rear), a u-lock, helmet, and backpack. I completely blanked on a pump.

I'm definitely going to get a pump and given that I would not enjoy walking home from the mid-point between home and work, I'm guessing I should be carrying a repair kit in case I get a flat. Any advice on flat repair kits? Any additional advice on essential accessories and/or tools I should pick up is appreciated.

Thanks!
