To say that HCBU was feeling a bit of pressure and stress once we arrived back on campus is an understatement. We were bogged down with our fall semester classes and activities before we even attempted to get back into the groove of doing what we love and do best: writing for and promoting HC! But Her Campus national and its lovely sponsors swooped in just in time to give us the push we needed to swing into action! We couldn’t be happier with our Back-to-School Survival Kit. Packed with awesome goodies that every collegiate is sure to need, we nearly rushed to our mailbox when we learned our survival kit had arrived (with an adorable label featuring HC pink Band-Aids might we add!). So join us in thanking our generous sponsors by checking out the breakdown of their goodies we received:
We know there are foodies in abundance on BU’s campus! So we know you’ll love the coupons and samples we received from Chipotle, Sweetgreen, and LUNA.
Chipotle: Buy one, get one free burrito cards. Oh yeah! Time to head over to Chipotle located right on our campus in West! Snag a burrito, or two, after a long day of classes.
Sweetgreen: Sweetgreen athletic headbands, $5 off coupons, and delicious DIY recipe cards. Our nearest location is in Back Bay, located on 659 Boylston St. Check out our recent feature of Sweetgreen in our Vegetarian-Friendly Boston Restaurant Guide.
LUNA: Chocolate Peppermint Stick Luna bars. We’re guilty of already snacking on a few, which are yummy, not to mention nutritious and packed with ingredients to power you through a busy day (and we know you have tons of those!)
From the trendsetting fits we wear to class and out for a night on the town to what we wear beneath it all, the HC survival kit had us covered.
Affinitas: Cupcake Panty Box. Affinitas pulled out all of the stops with their adorable cupcake panties! We didn’t even want to mess up the packaging; it was so cute! Stay tuned with HCBU to find out how you could walk away with a pair of cupcake-packaged panties!
Nasty Gal: Tote Bags. Nasty Gal is already a go-to shopping destination for we BU collegiates. This custom tote was made this just for their college audience! Thanks for keeping us in mind Nasty Gal.
What could be more important than caring for our health and bodies? Healthy, hydrated skin is something we all desire. And once again, our HC sponsors came through in the clutch.
European Wax Center: $5 off coupon for exfoliating gel. After a much needed waxing from EWC, we’ll definitely need this exfoliating gel for achieving flawlessly smooth skin.
Clue: Free Clue app downloads! Clue takes tracking your period to the next level. You’ll know when your period is coming, which six days you’re most likely to get pregnant, and when your mood is connected to your cycle. You’re in denial if you think you don’t need this app in your life.
Tanda Zap: Pocket-sized Zit Zapper! The pimple…a girl’s worst enemy! Tanda Zap provided us with their zappers, a device that combines blue LED light with sonic vibration and gentle warming to destroy acne-causing bacteria on skin and in pores. It’s even clinically proven to clear or fade mild zits in 24 hours.
Garnier: Blackhead Eliminating Scrub and Nourishing Cleansing Oil samples. Garnier’s blackhead scrub provides a gel exfoliator with micro beads to deeply cleanse, tighten pores, and smooth skin. The nourishing oil dissolves impurities and long-wear makeup, leaving no greasy residue. After a long night of partying, you’ll want to see this pair on your bathroom counter.
Calling all fitness junkies! SoulCycle and Aeropostale definitely had FitRec regulars in mind when they sent over their goods.
SoulCycle: Free class passes. Throwing a SoulCycle class into our weekly exercise routine is going to be incredible! Their method combines upper body and core exercises with weights to create a full-body cardio workout. Complimented with inspiring music, you can’t go wrong with a SoulCycle workout.
Aeropostale: LLD Sport Bottle and $10 shopping cards. While we’re breaking a sweat in our SoulCycle class, Aeropostale’s sport bottle will come in handy. Not to mention, their gift cards will be much needed once were looking for new clothes to fit our new and improved, in-shape bodies (P.S. Aero is also new and improved, back with a complete rebranding!)
If you know HCBU, you know we love to share! So don’t think we’re not going to give you a taste of our Back-to-School Survival Kit.

Once again, a HUGE HCBU THANK YOU to our sponsors! We’re ever so grateful!
