Finals season is not only the time where you’re holed up in your room cramming, but where you’re forced to buy things for other people. What? What kind of monstrosity of a “holiday season” is this? But not to worry: Her Campus and the sponsors behind their brand-new survival kit have just the things that those in the midst of academic turmoil can not only treat themselves to, but in which they may find necessity.

Cough, congestion, and/or sore throat? It’s got it covered. Thanks to its antioxidants and natural elements, your cold will be shortened and energy elongated in no time.
ChipotleNow that your impending sickness has been thwarted, your appetite’s back. And what better to treat yourself then a nice Chipotle run?

Kind of glad you used that Cold-EEZE, aren’t you?
Kettle BrandOk, so full on mindless self-indulgence rampage is happening. It’s finals after all, so who cares?

After you’ve dried off use TREsemmé 7 Day Keratin Smooth, the non-damaging smoothing system that’ll keep your hair poised no matter how many papers you have to write.
