This past week, Her Campus and our partners sent a Back to School Survival Kit to us! We have all tried an energy drink here and there, the snacks during those late study hours, numerous school supplies so we decided to put these products to the college girl test! Could these really get collegietes through a rough week of classes, meetings, and social events? Read to find out what was in this mystery survival kit and get the down-low on each!
Neurosonic
These drinks have been popping up in stores over the last year but have you ever dared to actually try one?! I took this drink to the library with me during a huge study session in hopes that it would keep me alert. Let me tell you, it did way more than that. As I sipped on the wild berry flavor I became more and more focused on my notes and studying.
Usually an avid procrastinator, I found myself completely enthralled with my study guide and finished studying an hour earlier than I had intended. This drink heightened my awareness and alertness but I didn’t crash later on in the night. Neurosonic is a definite must have for any study session or even a pre-class drink!
SK Energy Shot
We’ve all had those mornings where you just can’t handle the day and have to strongly fight the urge to call in sick to all your classes. Maybe it’s the rowdy Tuesday nights, but whatever it is, it gets the best of us. This particular Wednesday, it got me good. Deciding to be a responsible adult, I got out of bed and found the SK Energy Shot on my night stand. Because the drink is so small it was great when I was running late to class. I just got out of bed, tossed it back, and was out the door.
The drink hit me about half way through my first class and I was completely wired. I was functioning as if I had a solid 10 hours of sleep and was ready to go all day. There was no crash like most energy drinks I’ve tried and the amount of energy packed in such a small bottle was astounding. This product is great for those rough mornings or if you have to pull an all-nighter to cram for that midterm.
Luna Bars
During the daylight hours who has time to sit down for an actual meal?! Because college women are always on the go, this is the perfect snack. I’ve tried Luna Bars before, and I am a huge fan. They fill you up when you are on the go, while also giving your body the essential nutrients it needs to keep running throughout the day. The S’mores flavor they is absolutely delicious and does not taste like nutrition bar at all. I loved that not only does it provide essential nutrients specific to women, but they are also organic! Who knew clean eating could taste this good?
Poppin Notebook
This little notebook is so handy when writing down new to do lists for work or to keep your ongoing grocery list in one place. This little notebook is perfectly pocket sized so when you run to the store, you don’t really even need your purse! My favorite feature is the ribbon book mark that is used to separate my personal to do list from my work lists! It’s small, portable, and very durable. Plain and simple: this notebook is great for organized girls on the go.
Poppin Pens
Sometimes the notes you take in class are super drab which makes it only harder to study later. These pens tend be a great solution and spice things up a bit! For one week, I took all of my notes in these florescent pink pens and not only did I secretly enjoy taking notes more in class, I was fairly entertained when I read the notes later. I also spiced up my planner, writing all my social events in pink to brighten my day and give me something to look forward to. A little pop of pink goes a long way!
For ladies having trouble staying organized or staying up late, these products are a must! Each of these products is essential to a busy college girl and we highly recommend them!
