Yale’s HerCampus Survival Kit

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

Every year as classes begin to pick up, paper deadlines swiftly approach, and midterm season rolls around, Her Campus Campus Correspondents receive a big package containing surprise gifts and essentials from important sponsors. After lugging the package upstairs, CC’s eagerly unseal the package to find a variety of exciting presents and goodies. This year’s set contains a whole new series of gifts perfect for multiple occasions and daily life at school. With a Chipotle right around the corner from Yale’s campus the BOGO card which offers a buy one get one free burrito is perfect for a pre-exam lunch to fuel up. Eat with a friend or take the free burrito to go and stick it in your fridge for later!

You can never go wrong with mini-luna bars as they are the perfect snack. With many different flavors such as peppermint and vanilla almond and made specifically for women, mini-luna bars are a great on the go snack for any college student running to class.

College can be stressful and unfortunately stress can induce some negative symptoms like pimples and blackheads that are hard to get rid of (yes everyone gets them), so it is crucial to have the Garnier blackhead eliminating scrub and even better to follow up with the nourishing cleansing oil!

It’s always important to stay in shape and to exercise during the strenuous months at school to boost your mood and release endorphins, so the Sweetgreen headbands are amazing for controlling flyaways and keeping long hair out of your face while at the gym or on a run. They are even great simply for studying in the library or hanging with friends and there are enough to pass around! Sweetgreen sources local and organic ingredients while supporting the nearby community and providing healthy food options.

SoulCycle–one of the most new and exciting workout trends–is continually changing people’s lives and helping transform bodies. It is amazing to have a free soul cycle class included in the HerCampus survival kit as it provides an opportunity to get off campus and release stress during a 45-minute inspirational ride.
