This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

And so it begins. Our final day of freedom before the hell that is finals week begins. Though there is no avoiding the stress and fear that is about to ensue, here are 10 things that are going to make the process a little easier for the girls at Her Campus Penn State, thanks to our Her Campus Finals Survival Kits.

1. Cold-EEZE – Because lord knows the last thing we will be needing this finals week is a nasty cold. Thanks to Cold-EEZE® Cold Remedy Plus Natural Multi-Symptom Relief Cold & Flu QuickMelts® and Cold-EEZE® Cold Remedy Plus Natural Immune Support with Natural Energy QuickMelts® we will not only be able to stop any cold in its tracks but we will also be building a better immune system to avoid them in the future. Taking Cold-EEZE will give us a burst of energy and a positive state of mind, just what we need!

2. Kettle Brand Hey Neighbor Kits – These nifty little kits capture all the tastiness of Kettle Brand products in their salt and pepper chips and maple bacon popcorn while promoting a sense of community and friendship among collegiettes. As part of their “Hey Neighbor” campaign, Kettle Brand encouraged us to use the tote bags provided to us to pass something useful along to others. Since we couldn’t possibly eat all the goodies by ourselves, Her Campus Penn State decided to spread the love by creating finals week snack packs with the Kettle Brand products and passing them along to busy students in the library the week before finals. It was a sweet treat for all and produced more than a few much-needed smiles at such a stressful time.

3. Chipotle Buy One Get One Burrito Card – Do we even need to talk about how much we love Chipotle? It really is an addiction around here and with these BOGO burrito cards, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be cured any time soon.

4. TRESemmé Travel Sized Hairsprays, and 7 Day Keratin Smooth SamplesLet’s face it – finals week tends to put our appearances on the back burner. Somehow realizing you have hours of studying ahead of you doesn’t exactly inspire you to look your very best. But what if it were possible to have all the benefits without all the effort? Cue TRESemmé’s ingenious products! These travel sized hairsprays are perfect for keeping every flyaway at bay when we just want it out of our faces, and the 7 Day Keratin Smooth samples will keep our hair smooth and damage-free, even through washes, saving us time and frustration.

5. Luna Chocolate Peppermint Stick Bars – Rich in antioxidants, high in fiber, protein and calcium and made from the best ingredients possible, Luna bars continue to kill the game in the snack bar debate. This festive flavor will be just what we need the second that late-night chocolate craving hits during our sleepless nights in the library.

6. CamelBak water bottle – Who doesn’t love a CamelBak? These things are spill-proof, durable and the perfect reminder to stay hydrated throughout our busy days – plus, they’re pink!

7. The Timeline Project from Bayer Healthcare copies of The Timeline Project Zines  – Ever get so caught up in the daily struggle you lose sight of the ultimate goal? The Timeline Project is an online tool that encourages young millennials to focus on their goals, set priorities and start accomplishing them instead of waiting for the future. Their mini publication The Timeline Project Zines is a great source of inspiration including tips and advice such as “25 ways to get your side hustle on” and many more. So go check out the TimelineProject.com and share your own progress as often as you want using #TheTimelineProject. 

8. chain & charcoal $20 gift card – The end of the semester is near, the Christmas gifting has begun, and the money is tight. Nothing could be more exciting than receiving $20 toward a collection of trendy jewelry just in time for those New Years parties!

9. Baublebar.com meme bracelet – We all know a collegiette’s vocabulary is one of a kind and having our favorite sayings right on our wrist couldn’t be more perfect. This #nofilter bracelet is just the accessory our jewelry collections have been missing.

Oh, and don’t forget to share the BaubleBar Promo Code HERCAMPUS with your nearest and dearest to get 25% off the perfect holiday statement piece! BaubleBar’s Holiday Shop is a great place to find the perfect gift.

10. Cosabella underwear  – At the end of the day, there’s nothing that can make a collegiette happier than some brand new underwear – especially when it’s this cute. Their “Freedom of Color” mantra can easily be seen through their pieces and their products reach the perfect combination of style and comfort.

With these goodies in tow, our chances of remaining sane this week just made a vast improvement. A big “thank you” to our fabulous sponsors and their life-saving products!
